The study examines the levels of understanding logarithmic expressions within the frames of a mathematical card game. The game is based on the popular card game Saboteur. In this paper, we analyse the progress of a group of six undergraduate students participating in a remedial course using games for recalling some fundamental mathematical…

Early math skills predict later achievement for young children; thus, it is important to expand what is known about how to support preschool children's development of these skills. While there has been some research on interventions, including those using systemic instruction, to teach math skills to preschoolers, there is a need for additional…

The professional character of mathematics teachers is influenced not only by their ability to manage learning but also by their beliefs about the subjects they teach. These beliefs include beliefs about the nature of mathematics (BNM), beliefs about mathematics learning (BTM), and beliefs about assessments (BAM). Together, these beliefs shape the…

Pre-service teachers (PSTs) often encounter challenges grasping the conceptual understanding of fractions, which can affect their readiness to teach this topic. This study investigates a novel approach to enhancing PSTs' comprehension of fractions by focusing on the fraction-as-a-measure meaning within a measurement context. Through a modified…

The aim of this study is to investigate how students graphically represent qualitative and quantitative aspects of co-varying quantities in an embodied digital learning environment that provides feedback in the form of an animation showing what kind of motion their graph represents and how this feedback helped them to overcome typical graphing…

Early intervention includes approaches to responding to young children may profit from targeted services. This study aims to synthesize recent evaluations of intervention programs of Big Math for Little Kids, Building Blocks, and Prekindergarten Mathematics Intervention Program in preschool and kindergarten children to determine the effectiveness…

A growth mindset is the belief that one's intellect and abilities may develop through effort. This mindset suggests that intelligence is not fixed but adaptable. With the continuous growth in literature on the growth mindset in mathematics, there is a need to investigate the current trends from a bibliometric perspective. To meet this need, the…

In the primary grades, engaging in counting collections provides students with regular opportunities to make sense of numbers in dynamic ways, build social skills, and communicate about mathematics. This article aims to guide elementary educators through a team's process of planning and implementing counting collections in kindergarten. Counting…

Despite interest in how students' implicit theories--their growth and fixed mindsets about their own learning--affect students as learners, relatively little research on mindset has looked at "teachers" as learners. This study explores elementary teachers' implicit theories about the malleability of mathematics intelligence and teaching…

This article captures a convergence of its authors' life experiences and existent data, made possible by Complex Instruction (CI). There is a pressing need to study and support the foundational practice of "assigning competence," which requires that a teacher first recognise students' strengths and publicly name their academic…

This study examined seventh-grade students' emergent and progressive financial literacy in the context of risk and reward while working on two mathematical modelling tasks. The participants were six seventh-grade students identified as 'good at mathematics' by their teachers. The data sources comprised videotaped group discussions, group…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into mathematical problem-solving has shown significant potential to enhance student learning and performance. However, while AI tools offer numerous benefits, they are prone to occasional conceptual and arithmetic errors that can mislead users and obscure understanding. This research examines such…

Spaced retrieval practice harnesses two well-studied phenomena: the spacing effect, where spacing out practice over several sessions leads to a gain in retention compared to massed practice in one session; and the testing effect, where material that is tested is better retained than material that is restudied. This meta-analysis investigates if,…

This study aims to evaluate the impact of Circumference Board gamification on the achievement of second-form students in the topic of circles at two schools in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The study involved 60 students, with 30 students from each school (15 male and 15 female) selected using random stratified sampling. A quasi-experimental design was…

English Learners benefit from rich opportunities to explore and engage with peers. We describe pattern-seeking and argument-constructing activities that support partners as they co-construct representations of networks, such as social networks connecting people. Such activities allow all students to explore relationships between vertices, edges,…
