The Calculus Concept Inventory (CCI), Epstein (2013) aims to test the understanding of calculus ideas, rather than ability to perform calculations. In this paper the CCI is used to measure the effect of the undergraduate calculus cohort over the understanding of calculus in a heterogeneous population including recipients of the program Ser Pilo…

Delivering an effective online mathematics course at the university level is more challenging than the offline mode because of the method course content's nature. One of the strategies to answer the challenges faced in an online learning environment is the utilization of Open Educational Resources (OER). This descriptive case study research…

Of the many disciplines that rely on calculus, physics is among those with the strongest connections to this branch of mathematics. For instance, the derivative--one of the key notions of calculus--is used to describe velocity and acceleration, which play a central role in mechanics. In post-secondary education, in particular at the college level,…

This study aims to address the teaching of integrals in multivariable calculus concerning the role taken by geometry, specifically, geometrical content dealing with boundaries in integrals that appear as curves and surfaces in R[superscript 2] and R[superscript 3]. Adopting the framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, we approached…

In this article special sequences involving the Butterfly theorem are defined. The Butterfly theorem states that if M is the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, then following some definite instructions, it is possible to get two other points X and Y on PQ, such that M is also the midpoint of the segment XY. The convergence investigation of those…

In this study, the conceptualizations used by prospective middle school mathematics teachers when defining, representing, and exemplifying the slope concept and relating it with other mathematical situations were examined. Participants' conceptualizations were identified by Nagle, C., Moore-Russo, D., Viglietti, J., & Martin, K. [(2013).…

This paper analyses how pre-service teachers approach the notion of the infinite limit of a sequence from two perspectives: Specialized Content Knowledge and Advanced Mathematical Thinking. The aim of this study is to identify the difficulties associated with this notion and to classify them. In order to achieve this, an exploratory qualitative…

This project aims to investigate the Flipped Classroom Model Assisted Autograph can help engineering students improve their math skills. Many researchers have discussed how the Flipped Classroom Model has been proven successful for online learning usage, particularly during remote learning because of the COVID-19 pandemic's effects. However, the…

The concept of the limit is often experienced as a very abstract concept. In this study we explore the understanding of the concept of the limit with 74 students who are prospective high school mathematics teachers. The study is located within the first of three calculus courses which they study as part of their bachelor's degree in education at a…

Tangent lines are often first introduced to students in geometry during the study of circles. The topic may be repeatedly reintroduced to students in different contexts throughout their schooling, and often each reintroduction is accompanied by a new, nonequivalent definition of tangent lines. In calculus, tangent lines are again reintroduced to…

Purpose: This study aimed to develop an instructional material in learning pre-calculus that can be used by the Grade 10 students at a school in Cauayan City, Philippines to improve their competency in Mathematics, particularly in Pre-Calculus. Method: The study employed a quasi-experimental research design consisting of two groups, the…

The current study aims to explore the impact of the two-column format in writing simple mathematical arguments. That is to say, a structured method of presenting a mathematical proof or argument by using a tabular layout with two columns. The underlying goal of the research reported in this paper is to inform understanding of how to effectively…

This paper provides some insights into the use of example-generating tasks in the design of a technology-rich learning environment to enhance students' mathematical thinking. The paper reports on an early stage of a design-based research project concerning the design of tasks and associated feedback utilising the affordances provided by a combined…

This quantitative correlational study examines school-level longitudinal outcomes of eighth-grade algebra universal acceleration in 15 U.S. school districts when compared with selective acceleration in 289 school districts. Universally accelerated school districts had higher enrollments, with large effect sizes, in geometry, algebra 2, and…

Vectors have important applications both within and outside mathematics, but the concept of vectors is often taught to students in a less-than-engaging way, leading to students feeling inadequate and frustrated. This article describes the use of a mathematical microworld, "Driving with Vectors," to explore vectors using equitable…
