English learner (EL) students are a heterogeneous group with unique needs and the challenges of acquiring a new language while also learning grade-level academic content. Math word problems pose a challenge for some EL students who are at risk for math disabilities. This study, conducted by myself and H. Lee Swanson, used a single-case research…

Background/purpose. The process of double-loop learning has the capacity to engender alterations in values, assumptions and strategies. The alteration of values gives rise to a corresponding shift in assumptions and strategies. The present article poses and explores two discrete research inquiries. The present study has been designed to examine…

Maths anxiety (MA) refers to the negative physical, emotional, and cognitive reactions triggered by maths-related tasks. This study aims to investigate the relationships among student-perceived maths teacher support, maths self-efficacy, academic procrastination, and MA in fifth-grade students, exploring how student-perceived maths teacher support…

Mathematical proof, often regarded as the heart of mathematics, is essential for interconnected mathematical knowledge. However, proof-writing skills do not develop inherently. Effective learning environments are vital for university students to enhance these skills. This study investigates the impact of the ISMAT model on pre-service teachers'…

Effective teaching behaviours of instructors significantly facilitate students' learning and development. This study surveyed 3493 college students in advanced mathematics classrooms across three Chinese universities. A multilevel mediation model examined the relevance of instructional clarity and teacher humour to academic engagement. The results…

This article draws on research with third- through fifth-grade teachers who participated in a three-year professional development (PD) focused on culturally responsive teaching, primarily in English Language Arts (ELA). Although not focused on mathematics, the study examined how mathematics teachers adapted and extended ELA strategies to their…

This study aims to examine the mathematical reasoning and proof processes of gifted students within the framework of Toulmin's Argumentation Model. Grounded in the Rich Teaching Model, the instructional design included seven differentiated lesson plans. The research was conducted with two 9th-grade students in a Science and Art Centre over 20…

This document analyzes the knowledge of teachers who use digital technologies for mathematics instruction through an instrument called Technological Pedagogical Content Specialized Knowledge (TPCSK) combining open-ended questions and a self-perception scale. The results are based on a case study involving ten teachers from different educational…

This paper illustrates how young students aged 5 years old were supported to develop their mathematical representations. In seven lessons, students progressed from using concrete manipulatives to representing their mathematical ideas in more sophisticated ways. The teacher utilised specific instructional actions including holding high expectations…

This study aimed to assess and compare the development of mathematical procedures on the part of Grade 7 students using an intelligent tutoring system on a digital platform. The sample comprised 96 students from Khon Kaen University Demonstration School, Thailand, divided equally into experimental and control groups. The experimental group worked…

This paper focuses on a professional development program for lower-secondary school mathematics teachers, led by mathematics education researchers, based on historical insights from Fibonacci's Liber Abbaci. The program, involving 25 teachers, emphasized using the history of mathematics to craft meaningful mathematical lessons on the topic of…

The authors provide a comprehensive and practical guide to early childhood mathematics, blending research, practice, and inspiration into a resource that teachers can immediately use. Through anecdotes, illustrative videos with a comprehensive index, and detailed assessment protocols, they show how learning trajectories and formative assessment…

In the field of mathematics education, the importance of visualization cannot be overstated, especially in mathematical problem-solving. The review's objective is to investigate visualization in mathematical problem-solving in secondary schools. Its status, regional contribution, subject domains, and outcomes should be the focus and…

Black students are marginalized in mathematics education in the USA, including through their language. However, there is little research on how mathematics teachers can best serve Black Language (BL) speakers. Because BL is a significant sensemaking resource for Black students in mathematics, we investigate how BL-speaking mathematics teachers use…

In recent years, a group of teacher educators has developed a method of teacher education that incorporates practices that provide guidance about how to teach along with a principled vision of teaching that supports teachers to use the practices with judgement. Sometimes termed "core practices-focused teacher education" (Forzani, 2014,…
