This study aimed to determine the relationship between attitude, metacognitive awareness, and mathematics reasoning, as well as investigate the role of metacognitive awareness as a mediator. This study examined data from 378 pre-service teachers in Malaysia. The data were gathered by administering questionnaires and a mathematics reasoning…

This paper aims to reveal a teacher's actions to participate in a teaching experiment that supports collective argumentation in teaching triangles at the high school level and to present a teachers' participation in collective argumentation framework. The theoretical perspective adopted in this study is Krummheuer's (1995) collective argumentation…

The main purpose of this research is to examine the informal strategies of fifth and sixth grade students while solving inverse proportional word problems. Multiple case study was used in this study. The research was carried out in a public middle school from a southern city of Türkiye. The participants of the research consist of three fifth and…

As community colleges and systems move away from developmental education and encourage students to enroll in introductory, college-level coursework to complete their math and English requirements, it is critical to provide students with additional academic supports to help them succeed. One such model is the corequisite course, a model that offers…

Supporting students' problem-solving skills, solution planning and sequencing of different stages that are involved in successfully developing a meaningful solution to a problem has been a challenge for teachers. This case study was informed by reflective investigation methodology which explored how procedural flowcharts can support student…

This paper describes the design, implementation, and results of a training action with prospective primary education teachers, focusing on the creation of problems involving proportional and algebraic reasoning. Prospective teachers must solve a proportionality problem using both arithmetic and algebraic procedures, and then vary it to motivate…

All students want to talk about ideas that interest them, but often, multilingual learners are not offered high-challenge, high-support opportunities to connect everyday experiences to mathematical ideas. We describe a single class period that connects students' everyday opinions with two-way tables and notions of independence.

As ideas from data science become more prevalent in secondary curricula, it is important to understand secondary teachers' content knowledge and reasoning about complex data structures and modern visualizations. The purpose of this case study is to explore how secondary teachers make sense of mappings between data and visualizations, especially…

Students with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) are included in the general education classroom more often than ever before. Despite mathematical strengths and early success, these students experience poor outcomes (academic and employment) compared to their typically developing peers. The language of mathematics increases in complexity, use, and…

This study aims at elaborating a well-established theoretical framework that distinguishes three modes of thinking in linear algebra: the analytic-arithmetic, the synthetic-geometric, and the analytic-structural mode. It describes and analyzes the bundle of signs produced by an engineering student during an interview, where she was asked to recall…

This qualitative exploratory case study focused on a Professional Development (PD) program for mathematics teachers in the public system, which is an underserved community of teachers in Chile. The study aimed to understand how the program addressed the challenges brought by the pandemic. Using semi-structured interviews and drawing from a…

This single-case study assessed the effectiveness of a mnemonic pegword strategy designed to enhance the multiplication fact fluency of three 6th-grade students who demonstrated persistent learning difficulties in mathematics. A nonconcurrent multiple baseline across subjects design was utilized, incorporating 3-5 baseline sessions followed by…

The same and different routine offers an opportunity to build a strong foundation for future grades while also deepening the experiences of prekindergarten and transitional kindergarten students. Students have opportunities to make sense, share ideas, and engage in the ideas of others. We conjecture this type of experience supports students and…

This study examined 11 U.S. textbooks written for prospective teachers to investigate how standard decimal multiplication and division algorithms are presented, especially the rationale of both algorithms. Analytical frameworks of various methods used in different textbooks were developed. The findings suggest that half of the textbooks do not…

Despite research demonstrating positive effects of writing on student achievement, writing-to-learn remains under-utilised in mathematics and mathematics teacher education. In this paper, we explore how writing-to-learn tasks in a mathematics methods course influenced elementary preservice teachers' beliefs about teaching in two domains:…
