We apply an advanced data visualization technique, "Sankey diagram," to explore how middle-school students (N = 343) solved problems in a game-based algebraic notation tool. The results indicate that there is a large variation in the types of students' strategies to solve the problems, with some approaches being more efficient than…

Learning Management Systems use in higher education and at the high school level has been studied, but with the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, students in all levels of education began using the tool. Educators had limited time to prepare to use this tool, and research into how teachers used these tools to engage students and support their…

Mathematics education is important for students with developmental disabilities. Additional research is needed that examines interventions to teach grade-level mathematics content to these students.
