ChatGPT's advanced text generation capability has significant potential for the development of innovative and effective pedagogical strategies in mathematics teaching. The integration of ChatGPT into the mathematical story-focused 5E lesson plan preparation process is a concrete reflection of this potential. The success of this integration depends…

This study investigated effective teaching strategies for enhancing mathematical fundamentals in Key Stage 1, specifically in Kindergarten and Grade 1, under the newly implemented MATATAG Curriculum. Anchored on the principle that early numeracy forms the foundation for future academic success. The research addressed the gap in instructional…

This open access book utilizes data from two large-scale international assessments--TIMSS 2019 and ICCS 2016--to investigate the extent to which education for sustainable development outcomes is conveyed and accomplished within various educational systems. Specifically, it aims to expand the understanding of how students' environmental knowledge…

This study evaluated the effects of Precision Teaching in improving typically developing students' mathematical skills when delivered via teleconferencing in India. Four students received Precision Teaching, while nine acted as control participants. Precision teaching involved instruction in three mathematical skills; two prerequisite skills and…

This article presents a strength-based, cross-age mentorship program where second and sixth-grade students in a multicultural primary school collaborate in mathematics. The sixth-grade students serve as mentors/tutors for the younger students. Drawing on positioning theory and storylines, we have focused on the mentor's outcome, specifically how…

This research examines the effects of worked-out examples, grounded in Cognitive Load Theory, which incorporate different solution methods through the Nearpod application--a Web 2.0 tool--on fifth-grade students' achievement in fractions, as well as their attitudes and motivation towards mathematics. The study group consisted of 77 fifth-grade…

Background/purpose. Geometric reasoning is essential for students' cognitive development, yet middle school learners in Morocco face major difficulties in this area. This study investigates the challenges perceived by teachers and aims to identify effective pedagogical strategies to enhance students' geometric reasoning skills. Materials/methods.…

A student's experience of mathematics in their school years has a lasting impact on many students through to adulthood. How we can improve this experience is a question of significance, as it directly impacts practice and importantly the futures of our students. This paper reports on a study exploring pedagogical approaches to support an increase…

The active processing theory of self-questioning instruction suggests that comprehension occurs when students generate questions during reading because it allows students to engage in deeper processing of the text as their attention is drawn to the content. Four secondary students with reading fluency and comprehension deficit were taught to…

Mathematical ability is a crucial component of human cognitive function, which is defined as the ability to acquire, process, and store mathematical information. While many studies have documented a close relationship between elementary school children's inhibitory control and their mathematical ability, existing empirical evidence remains…

In this paper, we provide a conceptual framework of the central aspects of mathematical definitions discussed in the mathematics education literature. Based on a systematic literature review, we found that characterizations of definitions in the mathematics education literature can be classified into five main themes: requirements, preferred…

Background: While it's clear that autonomous motivation significantly boosts academic success, there are conflicting findings regarding the opposite relation. Besides, the reciprocal relations among controlled motivation and achievement present mixed results. Adequately distinguishing between variations among individuals and within individuals…

Simplifying equations via assumptions is integral to the "engineering method." Algebraic scaling helps in teaching the engineering skill of making good assumptions. Algebraic scaling is more than a pedagogical tool. It can create a solution where one was not possible before scaling. Scaling helps in engineering proper design…

Recent scholarship has explored mathematical demands faced by mathematics teacher educators and ways to support their development, but little attention has been given to the basic question of how mathematics teacher educators think about content knowledge for teaching. Knowing what they think could inform efforts to support them. Our analysis…

We offer ways that the inspection paradox can be usefully presented, even in the most elementary statistics courses, and provide guidance about how it can be revisited subsequently in the same course and in succeeding courses. Numerous situations in which the inspection paradox might occur are mentioned, and mathematically simple demonstrations…
