According to the hybrid model (van Bergen, van der Leij, & de Jong, 2014), the significant association among executive functioning (EF), reading, and math may be partially explained by parent-reported EF's role as a common risk and/or protective factor in reading and math (dis)abilities. The current study used a sample of 434 twin pairs…

This paper reports on a study conducted with Grade 11 learners as participants, in four public high schools in a rural district of the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa. The central objective was to investigate the mathematical discourses of Grade 11 learners related to the word, algebraic and graphic representations of asymptotes of the…

Developing expertise in professional noticing of students' mathematical thinking takes time and meaningful learning experiences. We used the Lesson"Sketch" platform to create a learning experience for secondary preservice teachers (PSTs) involving an approximation of teaching practice to formatively assess PSTs' noticing skills of…

Understanding rational numbers is a complex task for primary and secondary school students. Previous research has shown that a possible reason is students' tendency to apply the properties of natural numbers (inappropriately) when they are working with rational numbers (a phenomenon called "natural number bias"). Focusing on rational…

The current research is designed to investigate the impact of a BBL theory training program on developing mathematical skills and scientific thinking of mathematic disabled students. The proposed training program works as an independent variable comprising (22) training sessions. The methodology of the proposed program is based on integration…

While the number of studies of flipped classrooms has increased, they have primarily addressed the efficacy of using such an approach on student outcomes, often failing to account for the classroom activities and learning theories used to design the curriculum. This study begins to fill this gap in the literature by uniting the at-home video and…

Over the past decade, the international (PISA) and national (CMEC Pan-Canadian Assessment), standardized testing results have shown that students in Manitoba have relatively low results in the area of mathematics when compared to the rest of Canada. This article discusses a project that was devised as a means of reaching out to a school community…

This article describes how creating a MOOC (Massive Open Online Course) about ratio and proportion in a collaborative, technological environment during mathematics teacher training, benefited the development of content, pedagogical and technological knowledge for teaching. Twenty-nine trainee mathematics teachers, divided into groups, created…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of the adoption of web-based homework on mathematics self-efficacy level among secondary school students through using a mathematics web-based homework package called MyiMaths. In this study, a theoretical framework has been proposed by integrating the Technology acceptance model (TAM) with…

Gender differences exist in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering and math. There are differences between male and female undergraduates in the learning of various subjects. This paper analyzed the gender differences caused by intellectual and non-intellectual factors, such as math ability, verbal ability, spatial capability,…

Research Findings: It has been proposed that the home literacy environment may influence the development of early number skills. However, the results of studies examining the association between home literacy experiences and early number skills are mixed. This could be due to the way that the home literacy experiences are conceptualized and…

The present longitudinal study investigated the developmental trajectories of addition, subtraction, and multiplication fluency; their relationships to general cognitive functions; and potential interrelations between reading fluency and growth in arithmetic fluency for different operations. The central prediction was that measures of arithmetic…

Activities that play a significant role in mathematical thinking and problem-solving are mathematical problem posing. Scientific Approach with What-If-Not strategy (SA-WIN) is innovative learning that can improve the Mathematical Problem Posing Ability (MPPA) of students rather than Conventional Teaching (CT). This study aims to analyze the…

The purpose of this study was to describe how to implement the REACT [Relating, Experiencing, Applying, Cooperating and Transferring] strategy to develop students' mathematical representation, reasoning, and disposition ability. This research was a descriptive study with a qualitative approach. The subject of this study was grade 8 junior high…

The purpose of this study was to examine the word-problem performance and strategies utilized by 3rd-grade students experiencing mathematics difficulty (MD). We assessed the efficacy of a word-problem intervention and compared the word-problem performance of students with MD who received intervention (n=51) to students with MD who received general…
