The facts show that the mathematics achievement of Indonesian students is still very low. One of the causes of this problem is that the learning model used by the teacher is still conventional. This study aims to describe the activities of Mathematics Prospective Teachers (MPT) in completing assignments/projects using the Outdoor Learning…

Collectively understanding the diligence and perseverance necessary for teachers to fully support student learning and not accept "give-up-itis" from students is essential for success in mathematics, especially for African American students. In the participatory action research (PAR), I examined the extent to which upper elementary…

Time estimations, patterns and measurement sense are important skills to develop within the mathematics classroom (Mildenhall, 2016; Thomas et al., 2017). To develop a true understanding of time, students need to holistically understand: the language of time, the notion of duration and succession, how time is measured, and the concept of time…

Assessing students' conceptions related to independence of events and determining probabilities from a sample space has been the focus of research in probability education for over 40 years. While we know a lot from past studies about predictable ways students may reason with well-known tasks, developing a diagnostic assessment that can be used by…

Proportional reasoning and knowledge of fractions are critical skills for completing algebra successfully, yet many students with mathematics learning disabilities (MLD) enter algebra classes without adequate prior knowledge of these skills. This study used a single-subject/case research, combined multiple-baseline and alternating-treatment design…

This paper addresses the ways that the complexity theory can be practiced in mathematics class to encourage students' participation in learning of the mathematical concepts. The paper starts by introducing the theory and its associated attributes which are necessary to organize the class for the individual and collective understandings of the…

We explore the connection between the notion of critical point for a function of one variable and various inequalities for iterated exponentials defined on the positive semiline of real numbers.

Human reasoning about and with uncertainty is often at odds with the principles of classical probability. Order effects, conjunction biases, and sure-thing inclinations suggest that an entirely different set of probability axioms could be developed and indeed may be needed to describe such habits. Recent work in diverse fields, including cognitive…

Students use a variety of resources to make sense of integration, and interpreting the definite integral as a sum of infinitesimal products (rooted in the concept of a Riemann sum) is particularly useful in many physical contexts. This study of beginning and upper-level undergraduate physics students examines some obstacles students encounter when…

Part of the international reflection on the use of history in mathematics teaching consists in a quest of frameworks and models suitable for empirical studies. Following this demand, this paper explores the way Balacheff's cK? model, a model taken from the didactics of mathematics, can be used in the analysis of learning at student level. In the…

Algebra as a study of quantitative relationship is one of four conceptions of school algebra which serves as a foundation for the concept of function. However, there is still a lack of attention to this particular relationship, especially in early algebraic reasoning. This study aims to investigate how the aspect of quantitative relationship in…

This research aimed to determine the effectiveness of the issue, discussion, establishment, and application (IDEA) learning model in embedding mathematical concepts understanding. It is a quantitative study with a quasi-experimental approach. This research was conducted at Malang Islamic University with students majoring Mathematics education…

Problem-solving is considered as an important skill for learning Mathematics. Integration of cloud technology into Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs) has been considered as an instructional approach to study students' mathematical problem-solving abilities. The purposes of this study were to evaluate the suitability of the MEAs using cloud…

This article explores three attributes of teachers' understanding of fraction magnitude: the accuracy and reasonableness of teachers' estimations in response to fraction arithmetic tasks as well as the alignment of the estimation strategies they used with the concept of fraction magnitude. The data were collected from a national sample of…

This study examined students' views on geometry teaching via three-dimensional dynamic geometry software Cabri 3D. Teaching designed with Cabri 3D for solids volume measurement was implemented for 16 students in the eighth grade from a public secondary school in Turkey. The data obtained from the interviews with the students about the teaching,…
