The purpose of this study was to explore the effect of visually assisted guided discovery learning strategy on grade 10 students' problem solving skills of learning plane geometry in Woldia City, North Wollo, and Ethiopia. A nonequivalent quasi-experimental pretest-posttest-control group design and a case study design were used. The population of…

This research aims to investigate the effect of instruction supported by mathematical internet memes on 8th-grade students' mathematics anxiety and motivation. The research consisted of a pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design conducted for two weeks. The research sample consists of 8th-grade students who study in a state school in Turkey.…

Students are indeed weak when it comes to understanding fractions and decimals. In line with the national curriculum, whole numbers and fractions are taught first before students start to learn decimals. By the time the students approach decimals, they should have acquired sufficient knowledge of whole numbers but limited knowledge of fractions.…

The present study compared Japanese and U.S. preschool children's knowledge of geometric shapes. The main goal was to explore if differences in shape-naming conventions in Japanese and English could explain differences in children's understanding of geometric shapes. In ancient Chinese-based languages (e.g., Japanese), all standard 2D shapes…

The purpose of this study is to determine the opinions and self-efficacy beliefs of middle school students towards mathematical connections before and after the process in a learning environment prepared in the context of connections with different disciplines and including modeling tasks. An embedded experimental mixed method design was used in…

The authors wondered if there was a way to support their reluctant Grades 4, 5, and 6 students in contributing their starting points and strategies and advancing their collective knowledge. They wanted to ensure that the students had the space to develop and take ownership of the strategies they produced through a visual representation of ideas…

Despite the growing availability of classroom measures, such measures rarely attended to the embodied nature of learning. This article describes the collaborative development of a practical measure to capture embodied participation in mathematics classrooms with four elementary school teachers--working with students at the intersections of…

Co-teaching is described as the pairing of a general education teacher and a special education teacher in the general education classroom for the shared instruction of students with and without disabilities. Many teachers struggle to form unified partnerships, especially in mathematics classrooms. The MathMATES project was developed to address a…

The ability to think mathematically critically is essential in learning as it helps students to think rationally in making decisions and formulating conclusions, as well as choosing the best option for themselves. In fact, PISA results in 2022 and TIMSS results in 2015 show that students' critical thinking skills are not optimum. Therefore, the…

This study aims to investigate the effect of inquiry-based learning and direct instruction in enhancing mathematical thinking abilities among secondary school students to examine students' attitudes towards inquiry-based learning as a method for improving mathematical thinking abilities. This study adopted the quantitative research method.…

This scoping review describes mathematics intervention studies that include initial skill moderation analyses. Sixteen studies were included that focused on students with or at risk for mathematics difficulties (MD). The results revealed that mathematics intervention studies with initial skill moderation analyses focused on students in…

Word problem-solving (WPS) poses a significant challenge for many students, particularly those with mathematics difficulties (MD), hindering their overall mathematical development. To improve WPS proficiency, providing individualized and intensive interventions is critical. This umbrella review examined 11 medium- to high-quality meta-analyses to…

The aim of this study is to show how the GeoGebra software-supported collaborative learning environment contributes to a group of students using multiple representations and reaching generalisations while solving problems collectively. Blending individual and collaborative learning activities were carried out with a learning method called ACODESA…

We suggest that writing lesson plays can be a valuable approach in learning to teach proving in teacher education. A lesson play is an imagined discussion between a teacher and some students about a particular mathematical content, written verbatim. In this paper, we investigate novice teachers' opportunities to work on teaching practices related…

This study investigates the impact of GeoGebra, a dynamic, accessible, and easy-to-use mathematics software, on student confidence and perceptions of its helpfulness in the context of Calculus III courses. A quasi-experimental design was employed to compare four sections of Calculus III, with two sections integrating GeoGebra for in-class…
