The authors encourage consideration of the where mathematics learning takes place. They found that taking students outside engaged them with learning how to add and subtract integers and translate linear graphs.

Solution representations can reveal how problem solvers communicate mathematical thinking and reasoning in problem-solving process. The present study examined the solution representations used by 20 pre-service teachers for the percentage change problems. The pre-service teachers were invited to solve a combination of simple and complex percentage…

This study attempts to analyze pre-service secondary mathematics teachers? flexibility of external representations of domain and range of functions. To reach the purpose, a task consisted of thirty question items were designed. Participants of the study were thirty-eight Indonesian pre-service secondary mathematics teachers attending mathematics…

Certain aspects of theoretical frameworks in mathematics education can remain unexplained in the literature, hence unnoticed by the readers. It is thus interesting to participate in a dialogue where they can be discussed and compared in terms of the aims, objects studied, results and their relation to teaching. This study is focused on how APOS…

According to the conceptual framework for K-grade 12 statistics education introduced in the 2007 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) report, students can be located at one of three developmental levels of statistical literacy: A, B, or C. These levels are independent of age and grade level, so, in theory,…

The purpose of this note is to discuss how paper folding can be used to find the exact trigonometric ratios of the following four angles: 22.5°, 67.5°, 27°, and 63°.

An awareness of pattern and structure (AMPS) is critical in young children's mathematical development (Mulligan & Mitchelmore, 2009). AMPS is formally assessed in the early years of school (K-3), in structured conditions using predetermined materials, requiring verbal and written responses. However, children also express mathematical thinking…

Lesson planning is a crucial component of effective mathematics instruction. However, existing lesson planning frameworks and design models do not explicitly foreground equity and inclusion within instructional planning which are necessary in teaching every student. The What-How-Who structure frames the planning process by foregrounding who the…

Problem-solving and enquiry-based learning are integral in the Mathematics and Science curriculum in South Africa through online-based assessment. Online assessment has rapidly gained recognition because of technology. In this paper, the authors explored the views of online baseline assessment among Senior Phase First-year Mathematics Student…

The Forty Fifth Annual meeting of the North American chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education was held PME-NA 45 in Reno, Nevada, October 1-4, 2023. The conference theme is "Engaging All Learners." Math learning should be a joyful experience for all students. When students are engaged and inspired,…

The main purpose of this study is to assess pre-service and public elementary mathematics school teachers' conceptual understanding and computational abilities of fractions. 20 pre-service mathematics teachers and 24 in-service mathematics teachers participated in this study. In-service teachers were divided into two categories; one for teachers…

COVID-19 contributed to the largest student performance decline in mathematics since 1990. The nation needs cost-effective mathematic interventions to address this drop and improve students' mathematics performance. This study presents a cost-effectiveness analysis (CEA) of three algebraic technological applications, across four conditions:…

The aim of this study was to identify the main challenges faced by sixth-grade students in grasping mathematical concepts at elementary levels in Northern Tunis as perceived by teachers. It also examined how teacher-related variables like teacher's gender, age, and qualifications influence these perceptions. Using a descriptive-analytical…

The Queensland Certificate of Education (QCE) system is Queensland's senior school qualification. To support the introduction of the system in 2019, existing senior syllabuses were redeveloped and a new senior assessment model was established, this included the implementation of a mandatory high-stakes assessment task, the Problem-solving and…

The purpose of this study is to explore preservice teachers' (PTs') ability to implement multiple strategies using standard algorithms and alternative strategies and to investigate their conceptual knowledge of decimal operations. There were 37 PTs who participated in this study, all of whom attended a mathematics course in the K-8 Teacher…
