Examples are an essential part of mathematics teaching and learning, used on a daily basis to teach and practice content. Yet, selecting good examples for teaching is complex and challenging. This article presents ideas to consider when selecting examples, drawn from a research study with algebra 2 teachers.

This article examines a common proportional reasoning problem used in schools, often referred to as the Orange Juice task. The authors show how these six strategies described by Nikula (e.g., Unitizing, Norming, etc.) and one additional strategy can be used to either solve or make progress in the Orange Juice task. The article presents work from…

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, countries have had to adapt their usual teaching environment and processes to distance education. The purpose of this study was to investigate the Grade 9 geometry course contents shared on the Education Information Network (EBA) platform in terms of mathematics values (mathematical values and mathematics educational…

While focusing on numeracy is essential in preschool classrooms with deaf and hard of hearing (DHH) children, it is also important that concepts of numeracy be taught in a way that incorporates executive functions, introduces computational thinking, and prepares students for life in a 21st-century world. Technology-enhanced teaching resources…

Inductive reasoning is an essential tool for teaching mathematics to generate knowledge, solve problems, and make generalizations. However, little research has been done on inductive reasoning as it applies to teaching mathematical concepts in secondary school. Therefore, the study explores secondary school teachers' perceptions of inductive…

Background: During their university studies, student teachers are equipped for the teaching profession in various domains of knowledge and practice. In addition to learning pedagogic skills for practice purposes, they also expand their knowledge of the subjects that they will teach. In mathematics teacher education, one important principle is that…

The goal of this article is to give examples of high school students exploring parameters of quadratic functions using different tools as a catalyst to discuss the pros and cons and demonstrate the mathematical power of each. The authors illustrate how teachers' learning goals should navigate them toward a productive option.

This study aims to find out if the results of students' learning through the implementation of a group investigation learning model through mathematical domino media is better than the implementation of a conventional learning model on the rank number and root form materials. The study was a quasi-experiment with the design of a randomized control…

Place value concept that learns especially in primary school ages is also the basis of many issues students will encounter throughout their learning lives. This research aims to developmentally determine understanding of the place value concept in early childhood. The model of research is a case study from qualitative research methods. The study…

According to NCTM's "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (2000), the act of estimating is reflective of students' mathematical intuition and number sense. Students with more developed number sense are better able to judge the reasonableness of their results. To promote estimation, Jennifer Marshall explored incorporating…

This study investigates prospective elementary and secondary school mathematics teachers' ways of reasoning about differentiability at a point and corner points while working on a mathematical modelling activity. Adopting a multiple-case study design, the participants of the study were 68 prospective elementary school mathematics teachers enrolled…

The use of digital teaching materials is increasing in mathematics teaching. The dynamic resources of these materials have great potential, for example to adapt the content to different teaching methods and different students. These materials also provide new opportunities for the increasing distance learning. However, in order to take advantage…

This work describes how the combination of the mistakes committed by a group of pre-service teachers when solving a Fermi problem, with the representation of the temporal analysis of their resolutions, can offer more in-depth information about their conceptual misconceptions regarding mathematical and modelling concepts. The combined…

This research is generally conducted to solve the difficulties of students in understanding courses in mathematics education especially in the real analysis course, in addition, this research specifically aims to examine, describe and compare differences in the ability to think mathematically critically between students who obtain learning concept…

This paper reports on the findings from the use of concept maps in a mathematics foundation course at a university in Kuwait. The study sample consisted of 130 freshmen students from a mathematics foundation course. Through a case-study design, concept maps and assessment tests were utilized to assess and monitor students' mathematical…
