Mathematical talent serves as a supporting competency in the achievement of student goals, especially in mathematics achievements. This relates to the potential competencies possessed by students which can be improved by first detecting them, guiding, and training the students, and assessing the performance. This research is a phenomenology study…

What tales would students tell about their mathematical experiences? Are they stories of triumph, boredom, despair, exhilaration, or, perhaps, all of these emotions? How do teachers access these stories to understand students' experiences and build from them? In this article, the authors describe a task, The Math Metaphor, and how it was used in a…

The paper evaluates math performance at four high-need middle schools during a four-year intervention, which was designed to help math teachers diagnose students' areas of need and to design lesson plans responsive to those needs. Before the intervention began, the researchers pre-selected four comparison schools by matching based on achievement…

This book argues that mathematical challenge can be found at any level and at every age and constitutes an essential characteristic of any mathematics classroom aimed at developing the students' mathematical knowledge and skills. Since each mathematics classroom is heterogeneous with respect to students' mathematical potential, quality…

The general objective to be achieved in this study is to determine the effect of using Blended Learning in terms of Intrapersonal Intelligence on Problem Solving Ability. This research is a quasi-experimental research with a two × three factorial design. Documentation, questionnaires, and tests were carried out the data collection method. The…

The aim of this study is to examine the effects of Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) on 7th grade students' achievement on integer operations and their attitudes towards mathematics and to determine students' views about the RME approach. The research was carried out with the participation of 11 students. Exploratory sequential mixed design…

This research paper examines the application and performance of gamification through the use of Kahoot in elementary Mathematics classrooms. The participants were 10 elementary school Mathematics teachers from across the United States. All data were collected over one semester through interviews questions and, subsequently, findings presented a…

The debate regarding the effectiveness of educating students with disabilities in inclusive settings versus traditional Special education settings to yield increased levels of achievement has been ongoing in the American education system for decades. This action research study was conducted at a sixth through eighth grade public middle school in…

Following the COVID-19 pandemic, students returned to the classroom facing heightened challenges. Students lacked motivation, struggled with increased mental health issues, and required social emotional learning. As teachers worked extensively to close deep academic deficits, they dealt with barriers such as increased behaviors that caused…

This formative study of a multiplicative reasoning (MR) intervention explored the intervention's potential for improving the ability of third-grade struggling students' ability to reason with multiplicative concepts and procedures. The feasibility of the study was examined in a school setting before a randomized control trial was conducted.…

To address the challenge of low academic results in mathematics the district adopted a new curriculum. After three years of utilizing a problem-based learning mathematics curriculum resource, there is a varied degree of utilization and teacher buy-in with regards to a district implemented problem-based curriculum. During this time, there has been…

On the one hand, mathematical software is ubiquitous in mathematics education. On the other hand, word problems are an important part of the curriculum, and they often require modelling skills. This is especially true with optimisation and extrema problems proposed to high school and undergraduate students. We propose two activities around extrema…

Information about program implementation provides critical information for the interpretation of results from randomized trials. The present study provides an evaluation of the implementation of a Cognitively Guided Instruction mathematics teacher professional development as part of a large scale randomized controlled trial with teachers in first-…

Mathematics teachers make numerous decisions that form lessons that in turn greatly influence what students learn. In making these decisions, teachers rely on their curricular reasoning (CR) to decide on what mathematics to teach, how to structure their lesson, and what problems or tasks to use to achieve their lesson goals. However, teachers…

Students with mature number sense make sense of numbers and operations, use reasoning to notice patterns, and flexibly select the most effective and efficient problem-solving strategies (McIntosh et al., 1997; Yang, 2005). Despite being highlighted in national standards and policy documents (CCSS, 2010; NCTM, 2000), the association between…
