In this article, we will describe the embedded case study of the European project "E-Magic" carried out within the Erasmus+ project and which involved 12-16 years old students and teachers from three nations: "Acharnes Special Education Vocational School" in Athens (Greece), IIS "L. Da VinciNitti", a high school in…

In this article, I present a meaning-making trajectory of a teacher-class dialogue on digital, dynamic, geometric-functional tasks in an Icelandic upper-secondary classroom of low-attaining students. Learning is seen from a dialogical perspective, as taking up a more mathematical discourse, which here revolves in particular around the language of…

Epistemology plays an important role in detecting learning difficulties in a given field of knowledge and in directing strategies to eliminate them. This quantitative study aimed to get to know the perceptions of 624 students, related to the nature of science and science teaching and learning. The cross-sectional survey, based on the Inventory of…

Student insight into algebraic formulas, including the ability to identify the structure of a formula and its components and to reason with and about formulas, is an issue in mathematics education. In this study, we investigated how 16- and 17-year-old pre-university students' insight into algebraic formulas can be promoted through graphing…

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic and the resulting school closures in South Africa necessitated a major shift in how to support learners' ongoing mathematics learning. For 10 weeks learners were strictly confined to their homes with restrictions that prohibited seeing any person outside of their household. The only means to access…

This qualitative research presents how a mathematics teacher educator's feedbacks to two lower secondary school mathematics teachers affects their design of hypothetical learning trajectories regarding teaching patterns and their teaching practice. The data comes from a web portal, which was designed as a professional development tool for…

It is important to support pre-service teachers in terms of mathematical task design so as to increase the success of their future teaching. The purpose of this study was to evaluate mathematical tasks designed by pre-service primary and elementary mathematics teachers within the framework of task design principles. For this purpose, a total of 43…

We discuss an implementation of the research-based Pathways precalculus curriculum in a large-lecture format supported by recitations, clickers, and online homework. We describe our approach to adapting the implementation of Pathways precalculus from a small class to a large lecture instructional format. We report data on student learning and…

Teaching senior secondary mathematics presents a number of challenges, such as provision of a prescribed curriculum, homework expectations and preparing students for externally imposed high-stakes assessment tasks. In order to address these challenges, an increasing number of senior secondary mathematics teachers are incorporating a flipped…

This research aimed to identify the effectiveness of augmented reality technology on improving visual thinking in mathematics and academic motivation among middle school learners in Saudi Arabia. To accomplish the research objectives, the experimental method with a quasi-experimental design was adopted and it included an experimental group and a…

This study compared the effects of a combined intervention of working memory (WM) and arithmetic reasoning (AR) vs WM intervention alone on the arithmetic reasoning performance of students with ADHD. Third- and fourth-grade elementary school students (n = 46) completed measures for AR, mathematical calculations, and WM. Participants were…

This paper focuses on pre-service mathematics teachers' geometrical construction processes while using a duo of artefacts, namely the paper-and-pencil environment (PPE) and a dynamic geometry system (DGS). The participants of this case study were two pre-service mathematics teachers, who had limited DGS experiences in solving geometry tasks. The…

Mathematics classrooms in which students engage in argumentation constitute a favourable context to analyse how teachers recognize and incorporate student contingencies. Through exploratory case studies, we examined three mathematics lessons in which teachers support argumentation in contingent situations triggered by student errors. Teachers'…

This study reports on Ghanaian junior high school (JHS) mathematics teachers' use of selected assessment for learning strategies in their mathematics classroom. Many JHS teachers may not be familiar with assessment for learning (AfL) strategies to enhance pupils' learning. This qualitative, intervention research employed an educational design…

This multi-case study examines how three elementary mathematics methods instructors, in the same teacher education program, provide their prospective teachers with learning opportunities. Qualitative data were collected through interviews, classroom observations, and artifacts. The findings suggest that the instructors' beliefs associated with…
