Multiplication fluency math interventions are utilized in elementary schools, but a dearth in scholarship exists on the effects of these interventions on fifth grade math students' performance and final grades. This scholarship gap may have an adverse effect on informing administrators and educators on best practices in helping fifth grade math…

The results of this study revealed students' solution strategies progressed from inefficient strategies e.g., counting on fingers to more efficient strategies with mathematical connections. These findings should enable educators to gain more insight to use Number Talks to help student develop computational fluency with numbers.

The aim of this study is to classify the subjects and skills of middle school mathematics course in the context of MATH Taxonomy and to determine their relations. For this purpose, the questions and answers related to the mathematics subtest of a national exam were analyzed over the answers of 20154 students. The study continued with the analysis…

This study explores a pathway from social origin at adolescence to numeracy acquisition in young adulthood. A variation associated with vocational track attendance and numeracy acquisition between two different traditions of education systems is identified; namely, between education systems of German (Austria and Germany) and English (UK and US)…

To successfully solve the complex challenges facing us in the 21st century, people with expertise in the science, technology, engineering, arts and mathematics (STEAM) fields and other fields are needed, especially for their interdisciplinary way of thinking and working. These competencies should be learned in school, which first implies teacher…

Over the last several centuries, mathematicians have developed sophisticated symbol systems to represent ideas often imperceptible to their five senses. Although conventional definitions exist for these notations, individuals attribute their personalized meanings to these symbols during their mathematical activities. In some instances, students…

Calculation of the correct dosages is a key factor for safe patient medication administration. For decades nurse educators have aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of the pre-licensure nursing students for medication administration. In a midwestern prelicensure nursing school, a program was implemented using a curriculum wide approach for…

Rational numbers (i.e., fractions, percentages, decimals, and whole-number frequencies) are notoriously difficult mathematical constructs. Yet correctly interpreting rational numbers is imperative for understanding health statistics, such as gauging the likelihood of side effects from a medication. Several pernicious biases affect health…

In this report we show an investigation of how high-school students learn strategies to find intermediate numbers in an interval to understand the property of numerical density. Research has shown that some high-school students have difficulty in understanding this property. To mitigate this difficulty, we proposed a Hypothetical Learning…

The primary objective of this study was to systematically review the available research collected thus far on the effectiveness of math conversations in improving the mathematical proficiency of elementary students. Ninety studies were analyzed to determine what effect math conversations had on the number sense, conceptual understanding, and…

A student-led mathematics bootcamp has been designed and implemented to help foster community building, improve confidence in mathematical skills, and provide mathematical resources for incoming physical chemistry doctoral students. The bootcamp is held immediately before the start of the first semester of graduate school and uses an active…

This research study sought to identify a solution for building fact fluency for middle school aged students identified with LD. After analyzing a 1st-12th grade independent school for students with LD's math curriculum, it was noted that basic fact fluency is not taught after grade five. This has shown to be problematic for students who enroll in…

This study examined the effects of an academic intervention, associated with music, on the conceptual understanding of musical notation and arithmetic of fractions of first-year students of high school from a mixed Spanish multicultural and socioeconomic public school. The students (N = 12) had previous concepts about musical instruction, as well…

In this research, our objective is to characterize the problem-solving procedures of primary and lower secondary students when they solve problems in real class conditions. To do so, we rely first on the concept of heuristics. As this term is very polysemic, we exploit the definition proposed by Rott (2014) to develop a coding manual and thus…

The incorporation of Computer Science teaching in educational systems has increased in recent years. Given international interest, Chile has promoted projects to promote the development of students' digital skills. Focusing on this new educational context, this research reports the results regarding the identification of computational concepts and…
