This study investigates Contemporary Mathematical Instruction Competence (CMIC) using the PISA 2022 dataset. The research aims to identify the underlying dimensions of CMIC and assess their consistency across different cultural contexts. Variables were selected from teacher surveys in PISA 2022, focusing on mathematical reasoning, cognitive…

Trigonometry is an important part of secondary school mathematics, but it is usually challenging for students to understand and learn. Since trigonometry is learned and used at a university level in many fields, like physics or geodesy, it is important to have an insight into students' trigonometry knowledge before the beginning of the university…

Background: Previous research has shown that students often struggle to understand algebraic expressions and solve equations, and that traditional instructional approaches may not be sufficient to address these challenges. While the use of technology and physical manipulatives independently has been shown to support students' conceptual…

Educational institutions around the world have been integrating AI into their educational practices. Many studies and reports highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of this integration. This paper focuses on the positive aspects of AI in education, specifically through the lens of a high school geometry project at a technology-focused…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) tools in educational environments presents creative chances to improve mathematics education in elementary schools. This mixed-method study investigates the use of artificial intelligence tools in elementary mathematics classrooms. Complementing qualitative data from semi-structured interviews, the…

This brief examines how current mathematics instruction often fails to meet the needs of multilingual students, particularly English Learners. With over 2.2 million English Learners in grades 6-12 and persistent achievement gaps in mathematics, this brief calls for a shift: treating language development not as a prerequisite for learning math, but…

Introduction: Participation and success in high school mathematics classes significantly affect students' future pursuits in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Method: The survey instrument, administered through Qualtrics, gathered data from itinerant teachers of students with visual impairments across the United States. The…

Statistics anxiety is a reality among many students that may affect their academic and professional lives. Although there are instructional strategies proven to demonstrate advanced statistical concepts, a method to mitigate statistics anxiety in introductory courses is lacking. This research examines the effectiveness of three interventions used…

This study examined the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in supporting the mathematics education of students with special educational needs (SEN). Thirty peer-reviewed articles were analysed to examine (i) the types of AI technologies implemented in mathematics education, (ii) evidence on the effectiveness of AI interventions in improving…

Manipulatives are an effective mathematical tool to support students with disabilities in the area of mathematics. Yet, there remain inconsistencies in terms of which type -- concrete or virtual -- is more effective for students with disabilities working on algebra related content and which type is preferred by students. The researchers used an…

This work intends to disseminate a didactic experience in mathematics, in times of pandemic, in an emergency remote teaching situation, at the Portuguese School of Cape Verde, using the Desmos digital platform. The topic addressed was the study of the volume of geometric solids. The main objective was to contribute to the learning of mathematical…

This paper presents a case study conducted by two universities seeking to explore Open Education Resources (OER) in their precalculus course. Students not only gained access to their textbook for free on the first day of class, but also Lumen OHM, an online mathematics assessment platform. The majority of students involved in the study were…

There is no consensus about whether a teacher-centred or student-centred instructional approach is more effective for students' maths achievement. Prior studies have highlighted the role of students' maths self-concept as a predictor and mediator for maths achievement. This study examined whether instructional approaches were related to students'…

In this paper, we explored the type of mathematical connections Grade 11 learners make when solving two-dimensional (2D) trigonometric problems in an Activity-Based Learning (ABL) environment. We followed a qualitative case study design within an interpretive paradigm. Convenience sampling was used to select a whole class of 45 Grade 11 learners…

Classroom dialogue is widely used in mathematics teaching and learning, and if managed strategically, it will have productive benefits for mathematics achievement. However, dialogic participants often lack awareness of how dialogue could be constructed, and few studies show the characteristics of dialogic patterns in different stages of education.…
