The purpose of the study was to see the effect of quizzes on anxiety and performance in mathematics at middle-level students. Seventy-two participants from a public sector high school were chosen carefully. In experimental designs, the Pretest Posttest Non-equivalent Control Group Design was selected for the study. The instruments for measuring…

Productive use of student mathematical thinking is a critical yet incompletely understood dimension of effective teaching practice. We have previously conceptualized the teaching practice of building on student mathematical thinking and the four elements that comprise it. In this paper we begin to unpack this complex practice by looking closely at…

Fluency in mathematics is more than adeptly using basic facts or implementing algorithms. It is not about speed or recall. Real fluency is about choosing strategies that are efficient, flexible, lead to accurate solutions, and are appropriate for the given situation. Developing fluency is also a matter of equity and access for all learners. The…

The present study explored 285 11th-grade students' preconceptions, misconceptions, and errors in solving mathematics tasks by graphical method. A descriptive-explorative study design was adopted. Cluster sampling was used to select students from sampled secondary schools in eastern and central Uganda. Students' paper and pen solution sketches…

One of the main aims of Core Maths qualifications when they were introduced into the post-16 curriculum in 2014 was to help students develop their understanding of maths and its application to different subject areas, particularly in relation to further study (e.g., higher education). In this article, we explore whether Core Maths is fulfilling…

This case study is a methodological reflection of the study titled "Developing an AI-based Chatbot for Practicing Responsive Teaching in Mathematics." The study aimed to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) to address a critical issue in mathematics teacher education--the absence of children for preservice teachers (PSTs) to practice…

Evidenced-based mathematics interventions are critical for supporting students with mathematics difficulties. In research and practice, collecting implementation fidelity is important for ensuring that all the core components of the intervention are implemented as designed. Historically, implementation fidelity has been defined as multi-faceted…

Aim: The main purpose of this study was to investigate the impact of teacher's pedagogical content knowledge (TPCK) on students' academic performance in circle theorem. Methods: The study used a mixed-methods research approach and a sequential explanatory design with a sample 210 students selected through the probability systematic sampling…

A critical challenge for elementary mathematics teachers is meeting the learning needs of all students, especially when there is variability in students' number knowledge. Because young students' number system knowledge (NSK) contributes to future success in mathematics, NSK activities must be designed to engage all students, particularly students…

Mathematical literacy is important for students to formulate, use and interpret mathematics in various contexts. The aim of this research is to determine the effectiveness of Guided Inquiry Learning-Augmented Reality (GILAR) on mathematical literacy ability. This research method used a quasi-experimental pretest and posttest design with a…

Teacher knowledge is one of the main factors in the quality of mathematics learning. Many mathematics teachers have difficulty using proportional reasoning. Proportional reasoning is one of the essential aspects of the middle school mathematics curriculum to develop students' mathematical thinking. Teachers should realize that developing…

Mathematics growth trajectory plays a significant role to predict future outcomes and careers. We examined the existence of different growth trajectories in mathematics during the late elementary-school period (from Grades 4 to 6) and the relationship between the trajectory group classification and later mathematics achievement (Grade 8). Then,…

The effect of symbolic form model on students' interest in logic content of the mathematics curriculum was investigated in this study. The research was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. The study used a quasi-experimental design. The population of this research was 2,342 SS2 learners in Enugu State, Nigeria. A sample of 172…
