Integrating biology and mathematics can potentially solve problems associated with students' inability to solve quantitative biology problems. To face this issue, we embarked on a project to develop biological and mathematical content-based comics for elementary school students. It would assist them in gaining early comfort with transdisciplinary…

Math performance continues to be an important focus for improvement. Many districts adopted educational technology programs to support student learning and teacher instruction. The ASSISTments program provides feedback to students as they solve homework problems and automatically prepares reports for teachers about student performance on daily…

A controversial, equity-focused mathematics reform in the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) featured delaying Algebra I until ninth grade for all students. This descriptive study examines student-level longitudinal data on mathematics course-taking across successive cohorts of SFUSD students who spanned the reform's implementation. We…

Research studies show that students' grades are more predictive than test scores of their future academic success, including high school and post-secondary outcomes. Chicago Public Schools (CPS) recognizes the importance of grades through its longstanding "Bs or Better" campaign. Yet within CPS, boys' grades are consistently lower than…

Comparing health risks that include ratios of integers (e.g., 12 in 1,000) is challenging. We tested whether a worked-example intervention with number-line visual displays improved adults' risk-comparison accuracy, whether pretest confidence moderated learning, and which individual differences related to accuracy. Replicating prior work, U.S.…

Conceptual replications are part and parcel of education science. Methodologically rigorous conceptual replication studies permit researchers to test and strengthen the generalizability of a study's initial findings. The current conceptual replication sought to replicate the efficacy of a small-group, first-grade mathematics intervention with 240…

We investigated how the opportunity to learn (OTL) with different types of mathematics tasks are related to mathematical literacy and the role of perceived control in the relationship between OTL and mathematical literacy. The structural equation modeling was applied to the data of 1,649 Korean students from the PISA 2012 database. OTL with the…

This study used hierarchical linear modeling to examine the relationship between an internet-based mathematics formative assessment and data from a mathematics summative assessment for primary grade learners (ages 5-7). Results showed a positive relationship between formative assessment data related to the concepts of counting and decomposing…

Many studies conducted in the last decades report that very few elementary-grades students understand the meaning of = in mathematics, and that upper-elementary students do not understand it any better than the lower-elementary students do. Using data from thousands of Florida elementary students, we show that students in Florida perform ten to…

Conjecture formulation is crucial to mathematics education. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate challenges prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) encounter when using GeoGebra to formulate geometrical conjecture. A qualitative case study was conducted with an exploratory strategy to provide a complete comprehension of the occurrence. Six…

This research analyzed the effect of digital storytelling (DST) on the development of pedagological content knowledge (PCK) of prospective secondary school mathematics teachers on mistakes made by students in algebra. The research applied sub-domains of PCK, the knowledge of content and students (KCS) and the knowledge of content and teaching…

The use of generative AI (Chat GPT) for the process of posing mathematical problems was introduced to 15 pre-service teachers (henceforth referred to as "teachers") in a re-training program aimed at teaching advanced secondary school mathematics. After solving mathematical problems, they were given an assignment to pose and refine…

Assessing preservice' higher order thinking skills (HOTS) in science and mathematics is essential. Teachers' HOTS ability is closely related to their ability to create HOTS-type science and mathematics problems. Among various types of HOTS, one is Bloomian HOTS. To facilitate the preservice teacher to create problems in those subjects, an Android…

Using data from students in Grades 3-8 in school years 2018-2019 (N = 1,871) and 2021-2022 (N = 1,740), we examined the strength of fall math screening using Measures of Academic Progress (MAP) for predicting end-of-year state math assessment performance levels and whether this prediction varied across English language proficiency (ELP). In…

Adult education programs play a pivotal role in closing skills gaps, strengthening the workforce, and bolstering the U.S. economy. Persistence in this type of programming can influence educational and long-term employment outcomes. At the same time, persistence itself can be influenced by a multitude of individual and contextual factors. Adult…
