Social psychological interventions (SPI) have been found to be robustly effective on increasing student achievement, and are especially effective on students who face psychological threat due to their underrepresented identity (Yeager & Walton, 2011, Cohen & Sherman, 2014). Growth mindset interventions, however, have been focused solely on…

Researchers and teacher educators have made advances in describing mathematics instruction that can support all students in developing conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, strategic competence, adaptive reasoning, and productive dispositions toward mathematics. Some scholars have described teaching toward these goals as ambitious teaching…

The purpose of this study was to research the effectiveness of online learning in the public middle school math classroom. This research was retrospective in nature, using data from earlier school years to answer questions regarding www.IXL.com. The researcher found that there was a significant difference between pencil and paper and online…

Algebra has often been called a "gateway" course because student performance in Algebra has often been an indicator of performance in future math courses of graduation rates. High school stake-holders have placed high priority on improving the passing rates in Algebra I and have attempted solutions such as introduction of algebraic…

Although the work of teaching is often considered universally straightforward, professional classroom teaching requires more than a teacher's ability to complete a task; making students' ideas central to classroom discussions is crucial to student learning. The ability to engage students in classroom discussions focused on student ideas is not…

Functions are used in every branch of mathematics, as algebraic operations on numbers, transformations on points in the plane or in space, intersection and union of pairs of sets, and so forth. Function is a unifying concept in all mathematics. Relationships among phenomena in everyday life, such as the relationship between the speed of a car and…

This study examines Grade 9 students' mathematics achievement and cognitive engagement under three different instructional approaches: traditional learning, flipped learning with gamification, and online independent study with gamification. The duration of the study lasted an entire school year. The central theories underpinning flipped learning…

Indonesian students' poor performance in the mathematics test of PISA 2015 prompted the decision by the Ministry of Education of Indonesia to pay more attention to the integration of higher-order thinking (HOT) in the curricula starting in 2018. This new regulation emphasizes the need to have a shared understanding of HOT in mathematics on many…

Online learning platforms integrating open educational resources (OERs) are increasingly adopted in secondary education as supplemental resources for teaching and learning. However, students report difficulties sustaining their engagement because of the self-paced nature of OER-supported learning environments. We noted that little attention has…

In this paper the author investigates how the one-year math throughput rate of community college students varies according to the highest level of math completed in high school, with a particular focus on the implications of successfully completing Algebra 2 while in high school. Community college math throughput rates for students with different…

The purpose of this study was to find out more effective teaching among problem solving strategy with a scientific approach to students' mathematical abilities in high order thinking skills. This quasi experimental study used non-equivalent pretest-posttest control group design. The experimental group was students who were taught with problem…

The Fatih Project in Turkey has improved software in mathematics teaching such as data analysis software. As a result, the need to inquire into the efficiency of computer-supported learning environments has emerged. This study aims to examine the effect of dynamic data analysis software-supported learning environments on secondary school students'…

This study explores the relationships among students' perceived learning opportunities in school mathematics, their perceptions of self in mathematics, and their desire to learn more mathematics in the future. Data included student survey responses from eighth and tenth grade students from a state in the Southeast region of the United States.…

A growing body of research suggests that interventions promoting students' utility value for a subject can improve their academic outcomes. However, numerous questions remain regarding how much to adapt prior intervention materials to promote utility value in new educational contexts and how implementation constraints of an educational context may…

The purpose of this case study was to examine prospective mathematics teachers' lessons in the context of choice and use of representations while teaching limit. The participants were four senior prospective mathematics teachers. The data were obtained from the participants' lessons plans, the video recordings of their lessons, and the…
