This article reports on an exploratory study of the shifts of teachers' interactions with boys from their first to their second year of using cognitively guided instruction (CGI) in their math instruction. Interaction analysis was used to analyze 22 videos, two per each of 11 teachers, who applied CGI instruction in their classrooms (a) after…

In this dissertation, I K-8 mathematics teacher agency and learning within a research-practice partnership (RPP) context. I asked three primary research questions: (a) How is teacher agency enacted within the RPP?; (b) what do teachers perceive they are learning from their participation in the RPP?; and (c) how is teacher agency connected to…

The aim of this research is to determine whether the use of augmented reality applications in the teaching of the subject of ''Geometric objects'' in the sixth grade mathematics class has an effect on the development of students' geometric thinking levels and spatial ability. The research was conducted using a pre experimental design, one of the…

As developments in technology progress, their use in education in general and in mathematics teaching specifically increases. The aim of this study is to explore the potential of technology use in mathematics lessons in the schools by examining prior research on the use of technology in mathematics teaching. Within the scope of the study, a…

The purpose of this article is to introduce a lesson fondly referred to as the 'Lego Shop' lesson. It stands out as not only the most engaging lesson we've conducted but is also highly adaptable to accommodate a diverse range of learners. Successfully implemented across all year levels, from Foundation to Year 6, this lesson has proven to be…

The most recent nationwide math scores for 13-year-olds in the US dropping to the lowest level in decades, including Alabama's placement at the bottom, as revealed by the 2019 nationwide NAEP assessment, highlight the urgent need to improve mathematics standards in Alabama and all states. The shortage of math teachers, absenteeism, and the…

The study aims to identify the effectiveness of distance learning of mathematics from the perspective of the public-school teachers during the COVID pandemic. Differences of statistical significances between the answers of the participants were registered. To achieve the desired goals, researchers employed the descriptive approach; a questionnaire…

This study explores the responsiveness of an elementary teacher's support for emergent bilingual students by examining the connections between the teacher's assessment expertise, formative assessment practices, and emergent bilinguals' unique language needs in math classes. The study, which investigated the indicators that characterize a…

African American learners deserve liberating learning experiences, yet rarely receive them. We argue that the framework of Afrofuturism is a productive strategy for reconceptualizing the work of mathematics teaching as liberating and empowering for African American learners and the Rights of the Learner Framework offers useful tools to enable…

Probability literacy has gained importance in educational curricula. The aim of this research was to analyse secondary education teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching and to examine differences across the factors of gender, academic training, and work experience. From a positivist paradigm, a quantitative methodology was used.…

To ensure the learning of mathematics, teachers must be able to analyse their students' mathematical practices when solving tasks, interpret the difficulties that students encounter, and decide how to manage students' difficulties. This competence in didactic analysis and intervention allows teachers to adapt their teaching to meet individual…

This report provides the perspectives of multiple respondent groups -- districts, principals, and math teachers -- on math-focused professional learning (PL) for teachers. The authors explore the factors that district and school leaders consider when selecting math-focused PL. These factors include principal autonomy to select PL; teachers'…

Scholars have often proposed the use of "Culturally Relevant Pedagogy" (CRP) as a way to improve the experience of Black learners in mathematics classrooms. Prior research shows Black learners show improvement in comprehension, engagement, motivation, and confidence as a result of CRP's use. However, there is limited research on whether…

Background: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to reflect holistically on the experiences gained in the past few years. We thus review research on remote mathematics teaching in Pre-K-12 contexts, utilising Activity Theory as a theoretical lens for research synthesis. Objectives: Drawing from a comprehensive overview of the…
