This study presents a scoping survey examining the integration of ChatGPT in mathematics education, highlighting its benefits, challenges, and implications for teaching and learning. The survey identifies key themes, including ChatGPT's ability to assist in understanding mathematical concepts, lesson planning, assessment design, personalized…

This paper presents a synthesis of the literature exploring the teaching and learning of geometry and the role that mathematical representations can play in enriching geometry experiences for our students. Geometry is the only content domain to be taught in all PK-12 grades, however, from historical trends in international assessment data, it…

The aim of this research is to study how students recognise the concept of gradient of a function of two variables in its different representations and how they make conversions between these representations. Three groups of university students with different profiles took part in this research, and Duval's theory of semiotic representations was…

The association or relationship between two variables, also known as covariation, has been identified as one of the fundamental statistical concepts. This article details a statistical investigation that was used to informally introduce Grade 6 students to this concept.

The contribution aims at subject-specific analyses of student solutions of an exercise from an electrical engineering signal theory course. The basis for the analyses is provided by praxeological studies (in the sense of the Anthropological Theory of Didactics) and the identification of two institutional mathematical discourses, one related to…

Calculus is a required course in most engineering programmes and is intended to provide students with tools they will use throughout the rest of their training. However, research seems to indicate that calculus is not very prevalent in the engineering workplace or in university engineering courses. To shed some light on how calculus is actually…

Quadratic functions are explained in the three equivalent formats: Standard (or Expanded), Vertex and Factorised. However, cubic functions are represented only in the two equivalent formats: Standard (or Expanded) and Factorised. In this article, the author shows how cubic functions can be expressed in three equivalent formats like quadratic…

Conceptual body movement in education is an external representation mode that research suggests can support children's learning about mathematical phenomena. Children's learning and understanding of mathematical concepts and processes, such as number structure and relationships, number sequencing, position, or geometric properties, may be…

The purpose of this study was to determine K-8 preservice teacher (PST) candidates' statistical thinking when selecting the best center representation for the given data. Forty-four PSTs enrolled in a Statistics and Probability for K-8 Teachers course in a university located in the southeastern region of the United States were asked to complete a…

Integrating the knowledge of neurology in teaching has been an idea for learning management design for decades. The current study found the potential of brain-based learning (BBL) for developing high school students' mathematics learning achievement. The purposes of the study were to investigate the effects of BBL learning management on grade 11…

A theoretical model describing young students' (Grade 3) arithmetic-algebraic structure sense was formulated and validated empirically (n = 130), hypothesizing that young students' arithmetic-algebraic structure sense consists of five distinct but correlated factors; structure in numerical equivalence and word-problem modeling, structure in…

Some students have misconceptions. Students' misconceptions make difficult to learn the new subject. Teachers need to know students' misconceptions and take precautions. One of the misconceptions in mathematics is about limits and continuity. In order for teachers to take precautions in this regard, they must have this experience during their…

Conceptual and procedural instruction order may affect students' learning and generalization of math skills. This study compared two instruction sequences, concepts-first and iterative, and their effect on fraction performance through a class-wide intervention. Fourth-grade students (N = 114) were randomly assigned to the concepts-first,…

This study used fraction number line estimation tasks to evaluate students' developmental patterns, and the relationship of such tasks with whole number bias was explored. In total, 189 fourth-grade students in a northern Taiwan elementary school were followed over 2 years. The results demonstrated that the students' fraction learning development…

The purpose of this study is to examine how preservice middle-school mathematics teachers connect mathematics with museum resources in their lesson plans. Nine museum-based mathematics lesson plans developed by preservice teachers were examined, based on the interactive experience model. The findings showed that although the preservice teachers…
