This book provides a critical review of research in mathematics education published in or about the Australasian region in the four years from 2020 to 2023. Research in Mathematics Education in Australasia 2020-2023 (RiMEA 2020-2023) is the eleventh edition of the four-yearly review of mathematics education research in Australasia. It is compiled…

Teachers across the United States struggle with meeting students' needs in their classrooms amidst the growing diversity of children in their classrooms and the amplification of standardized testing. Time and again, teaching with the heart and action of inclusivity is placed on the back burner as teachers feel the pressure for students to perform…

In this article, we present research on eight kindergarten and eight first-grade students' understandings of the arithmetic properties of commutativity, additive identity, and additive inverse during a classroom teaching experiment, selected from a larger study that included 88 students. In this study, we explore the students' types of…

Prior work has shown that students' self-reported levels on social-emotional measures predict achievement levels and gains, but we have little evidence on whether within-student changes in self-reports on social-emotional surveys are predictive of changes in theoretically related academic and behavioral outcomes. We use large-scale data from the…

Equitable teaching practices encompass evidence-based strategies utilised by teachers to support the learning of all pupils, while recognising each pupil's unique background. This study delves into the perspectives of Scottish teachers regarding equity in mathematics, as evidenced by their self-reported practices. By analysing semi-structured…

As COVID-19 continues to impact various business sectors, university administrators have steadily pushed for all academic units to resume on campus operations and activities; conversely, faculty and students have expressed increased interest in continuing online teaching/learning. We aim to mitigate this "tug-of-war" between…

Using the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009, the association between high school exit exams and mathematics course-taking patterns is explored. Exit exams are linked to a decreased likelihood of students taking upward-bound mathematics during their four years of high school. Exit exams are also associated with fewer mathematics credits…

This study attempts to understand the source of variation in the Students' Evaluation of Teaching (SET) of mathematics courses by comparing the data structure of engineering major students and mathematics major students' datasets. The sample considered in this study consists of 644 students distributed into two majors: 237 mathematics students and…

Background: Math anxiety (MA) is a worldwide appearing academic anxiety that can affect student mental health and deter students from math and science-related career choices. Method: Using the Arabic version of the Modified-Abbreviated Math Anxiety Scale (m-AMAS), the prevalence of MA was investigated in a very large sample of students (N = 10093)…

Background: The STEM education system has garnered significant interest due to its innovative approach in creating a multidisciplinary and integrated knowledge structure that connects science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, and allows students to apply scientific knowledge in a comprehensive and holistic manner. Consequently, evaluating…

As mathematics education moves toward a more student-centered approach, it has become more difficult to ignore the multiple identities and related knowledge students bring to the classroom. Culturally responsive and sustaining education (CRSE) provides an opportunity to deepen student learning by drawing on students' racial and cultural identities…

Geometry is a strand of mathematics that can benefit individuals in many areas of life. Test results, such as the TIMSS results, indicate that geometry is an area for growth among American students. With a need for students to better understand geometry, several academic standards have been created to direct geometry instruction in the United…

The study explores implementing a didactical design approach in elementary school students learning mathematical concepts such as factors and multiples. This research was conducted over four meetings at one of the elementary schools in Bantul Regency, Yogyakarta, Indonesia. The research subjects consisted of one class teacher and seventeen…

This investigation delves into the numerical comprehension among elementary and middle school students within Israel's Arab sector, challenging the conventional metrics of mathematical ability. Despite the apparent adeptness in standard mathematical tests, a significant discrepancy exists between calculative prowess and genuine numerical…

Helping students to stay motivated by creating an environment that makes them interact is essential to attaining academic achievement. This action research utilizing mixed methods approach explores the flipped classroom's impact on the students' achievement motivation. Also, a significant focus has been on how students interacted with their…
