Professional noticing of children's mathematical thinking (Jacobs et al. in J Res Math Educ 41(2):169-202, 2010) is a construct that is used frequently to understand the ways in which teachers attend to, interpret, and respond to children's mathematical thinking. In this paper, we present our analysis of prospective elementary mathematics…

The standard of critical thinking in this study, namely: first, interpretation is on a problem can showing/ writing what they know and what is asked about the problem correctly; second, analysis is the activity of identifying the relationship between statements, questions and concepts in a problem through making mathematical models and accompanied…

Competence with fractions is important for learning more advanced mathematics. The present study examined the predictive value of sustained attention, verbal and visuospatial working memory, cognitive flexibility, fluid intelligence, multiplication and division abilities for fraction knowledge in fifth grade. Participants were 97 elementary school…

Our goal was to study the impact of coding on preschoolers' math abilities and to analyze their coding behaviors. Participants were six preschoolers, four years of age, from a play-based accredited program. We measured their Math abilities using TEAM and observed their coding behaviors with a structured instrument. Children used a robotic toy to…

The script relativity hypothesis proposes that the scripts we read and write affect our cognition. The current study tested this hypothesis by comparing Chinese and English cognitive-linguistic skills and three cognitive abilities, including verbal working memory capacity, nonverbal IQ, and arithmetic calculation, across groups of children with…

Storytelling is an important method for removing obstacles to learning mathematics and making lessons understandable. This research aims to analyze primary school teachers' stories written to teach students concepts of problem solving, fluency, reasoning, and understanding skills. The study is a qualitative case study and the participants were 25…

This study aims to address the teaching of integrals in multivariable calculus concerning the role taken by geometry, specifically, geometrical content dealing with boundaries in integrals that appear as curves and surfaces in R[superscript 2] and R[superscript 3]. Adopting the framework of the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, we approached…

Letters and numbers are different domains, and their differentiation increases with schooling. It has nonetheless been argued that reading alphabetic and numerical materials partly involves the same processes, even in adults. Whether individuals with dyslexia have difficulty reading and writing numbers remains to be established. This study…

Currently, masses of studies on mathematics learning getting to know have been discovered in numerous literatures supported by the use of blended learning model. This meta-analysis study aims at determining the overall effect of using blended learning. This study analyses 36 effect sizes from ERIC documents, Google scholar, and repositories from…

This study aimed to investigate seventh-grade students' visuospatial thinking processes in an art studio environment, where students were engaged with geometrically rich artworks. The students were asked to observe minimalist artworks, then create and critique their own and others' artworks based on the Studio Thinking Framework. Data were…

Research on young children's development of executive function (EF) and early mathematics has established relationships between the two, but studies have not investigated whether these relations differ for children with different outcomes in mathematics and EF, especially in the context of interventions. To examine the homogeneity of those…

Fluency in math facts and procedures is critical for math achievement overall and often challenging for students with emotional and behavioral disorders to develop. This article describes how to implement two complementary and evidence-based practice strategies, incremental rehearsal and Cover-Copy-Compare, to build declarative and procedural…

Links between mathematical attainment and economic performance, coupled with England's poor showing in international comparisons of skills, have focussed attention on post-16 mathematics education, for example, in the UK Government's 2017 Industrial Strategy. Whilst high-stakes academic qualifications at 16 (GCSE) and 18 (A-level) have stood the…

This paper investigates the quantitative literacy and reasoning (QLR) of freshmen students pursuing a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM)-related degree but do not necessarily have a Senior High School (SHS) STEM background. QLR is described as a multi-faceted skill focused on the application of Mathematics and Statistics…

Argumentative and proving skills are considered key competencies in mathematics. Collaborative learning activities, by fostering students' production of conjectures and arguments, could contribute strongly to the development of these skills. In this paper, we present the design of a e-learning collaborative environment, whose goal is to promote in…
