Despite working towards a common vision for teacher preparation, newer teachers experience successes and challenges in their teaching. This study investigated the experiences of three third year teachers to identify what they found successful or challenging in their teaching. Findings indicated that successes or challenges were contextually…

Engagement can be described as students' tendency to work productively, think deeply, enjoy and value their learning, and to support each other in the process of learning (ZDM article). Each of these dimensions can be indexed by a variety of psychologically validated constructs such as interest and enjoyment, self-regulation, effort, emotional…

This study investigated Queer high school students' participation in the teaching of mathematics for social justice. The goal of this research was to introduce the TMSJ to Queer students and understand their experiences with this type of teaching. This study is centered on the transformative paradigm using a poststructuralist approach. Therefore,…

Collaborative partnerships between families and teachers have the potential to support and transform students' mathematics learning experiences. This study focused on interactions among mothers and teachers of multilingual elementary grade students who participated together in workshops focused on teaching and learning mathematics. We analyzed…

This study aims to compare two different learning environments designed online in terms of their contributions to the development of mathematical modelling competencies. In the research, which was designed with the triangulation method, among the mixed research methods in which the qualitative and quantitative research methods are used together.…

Numerous national and state endeavors have advocated for approaches, funding, and programs focused on expanding the science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce of the nation and investing in education to cultivate a more diverse and impactful cohort of students who pursue STEM pathways. Educators, support personnel, and…

This study describes students' learning obstacles in solving early algebra problems requiring functional thinking ability. To reach this aim, qualitative research was conducted in this study. Participants of this study were 39 ninth graders and a mathematics teacher at one of the lower secondary schools in Bandung, Indonesia. The data were…

Enhancing the mathematical problem solving and conceptual understanding of Year 6 students was the goal for a team of primary teachers. For this purpose, they investigated a teaching approach involving Challenging Tasks as a Professional Learning Community. The process followed by the team is outlined, and the impact on teaching and learning is…

Investigators often rely on the proportion of correct responses in an assessment when describing the impact of early mathematics interventions on child outcomes. Here, we propose a shift in focus to the relative sophistication of problem-solving strategies and offer methodological guidance to researchers interested in working with strategies. We…

Developing models and using mathematics are two key practices in internationally recognized science education standards such as the Next Generation Science Standards (NGSS, 2013). In this paper, we used a virtual performance-based formative assessment to capture students' competencies at both "developing" and "evaluating"…

This study investigated how 155 pre-service teachers solved three pattern generalization problems in a two-part written test and sequenced them for teaching purposes to demonstrate their curricular noticing. Participants' solutions were analyzed using inductive content analysis, which showed that only 8.4% of PSTs produced correct answers to all…

In this paper we analyze common solutions that students often produce to isomorphic tasks involving proportional situations. We highlight some key distinctions across the tasks and between the different equations students write within each task to help elaborate the different interpretations of equivalence at play: numerical, transformational, and…

The purpose of this study was to examine geometry interventions for students with learning disabilities. We synthesized nine intervention studies by focusing on the geometry concepts and skills taught to students with learning disabilities, intervention types used, instructional components embedded, and the methodological rigor of the studies.…

Flipped classroom (FC) pedagogical frameworks have recently gained considerable popularity, especially at secondary school levels. However, there are rich opportunities to explore FC at tertiary levels, but progress on the area requires instructors' attention to well-designed tasks for students' collaborative learning. Realistic Mathematics…

In the age of change, rapid changes occur in the education and teaching process as in every field. The changes have brought new insights and practices to the mathematics teaching process, just like any other lesson. One of these changes is teaching with storytelling method. Learning with this method can be envisaged to warrant a more permanent,…
