Students' perceptions of the mathematics classroom environment have been linked to both cognitive and affective outcomes, as has inquiry-oriented instruction (IOI). The purpose of this mixed methods study is to determine what undergraduate students' perceptions of inquiry-oriented differential equations are, and the extent to which their…

It is imperative teachers use evidence-based practices to instruct all learners. Yet, there are limited reviews focused on educational practices to support secondary students with learning disabilities in algebra. This evidence-based systematic review focused on research published in peer review journals between 1999 and 2019. Eighteen studies…

The most influential books on geometry are those of Euclid called "Elements". In our century, in addition to classical learning, various interactive software are used in teaching geometry. Among them, we can mention GeoGebra. GeoGebra is an interactive math measurement program that consists of teaching and learning from elementary to…

In this paper, we investigate how a research mathematician conjectures and proves when conducting her research. To be precise, the aim of this study is to achieve a comprehensive understanding of the way this research mathematician develops these mathematical practices and thus gain insight to improve the teaching and learning of these two…

In this paper, we propose an elementary proof of Niven's Theorem in which the tangent function will have a primary role.

The relevance of the problem under study is due to the need to modernize the professional training of future teachers in the context of the implementation of the competence approach. One of the most effective methods for improving the training of a modern teacher is his subject and methodological training. In modern times, competitive teachers are…

We frame teachers' contextualization of mathematics (CoM) as a classroom-based identity resource. We explore CoM in secondary classrooms in the segregated school landscape of the US, focusing specifically on schools that serve primarily low-income Black and Latinx students. We review literature that discusses commonly-cited affordances for CoM…

Research has shown that two different, though related, ways of representing magnitude play foundational roles in the development of numerical and mathematical skills: a nonverbal approximate number system and an exact symbolic number system. While there have been numerous studies suggesting that the two systems are important predictors of math…

The article presents one of the possible ways of overcoming the misconception that is one of the myths about mathematics, which says that teaching mathematics is based only on the transfer of mathematical knowledge in the finished form -- often in the form of certain algorithms. The newly proposed method of access to mathematics teaching is…

An important step to achieving a sustainable department culture that encourages innovation in teaching is the alleviation of the isolation that teaching faculty experience. Decreasing this isolation should be accomplished in a manner that respects all instructors' classroom practices while simultaneously exposing faculty to new ideas. In this…

As part of a large reciprocal learning partnership project between Canada and China, this study explored Canadian teachers' perceptions of mathematics teaching in elementary schools in China. Using reciprocal learning and Activity Theory as the theoretical lens, we collected data, i.e., classroom observations, group discussion, and informal…

Mathematics is a core subject in South Africa. Studies have shown that the performance of learners on this subject is not encouraging. Many factors have been alluded to by scholars as contributing factors to this poor performance. The gap between theory and practice of mathematics teaching can be bridged by the use of appropriate learning styles,…

Flexible teaching of mathematics word problems is essential to improve learning. Flexible teaching is vital in terms of providing meaningful learning, creating inclusive learning spaces and making content accessible. As such, teachers need to strive to provide flexible teaching of mathematics word problems in order to optimise and maximise…

This article presents the results of a study aimed at examining how primary school teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching are influenced by their use of an interactive story focused on sparking interest in probability and providing opportunities for learning this mathematical topic. A scale of attitudes towards probability and…

This study aimed at investigating the challenges of teaching mathematics to visual impaired students in school of the blind, a case study of some selected schools for the visually impaired. Questionnaire and interview were used for data collection from the respondents. The hypotheses in the study were tested using t-test with a-level of 0.05…
