In high school geometry, students are expected to deepen their understanding of geometric shapes and their properties, as well as construct formal mathematical proofs of theorems and geometric relationships. The process of helping students learn to construct a geometric proof can be challenging given the multiple competencies involved (Cirillo…

Problem posing engages students in generating new problems based on given situations (including mathematical expressions or diagrams) or changing (i.e., reformulating) existing problems. Problem posing has been at the forefront of discussion over the past few decades. One of the important topics studied is the process of problem posing as…

The number line has been proposed as a central construct used by students to solve a range of mathematics problems. Given the capacity of number lines to represent all real numbers and to be used in a variety of contexts, there have been calls to increase the use of number lines in mathematics instruction. However, due to the recency of these…

In this work, we delve into geometric analysis, particularly examining the interplay between lower bounds on Ricci curvature and specific functionals. Our exploration begins with an investigation into the implications of Yamabe invariants for asymptotically Poincare-Einstein manifolds and their conformal boundaries under conditions of…

Understanding the concept of completeness for an ordered field is known to be difficult for many university mathematics students. We hypothesise that the variety of possible axioms of completeness for the set of real numbers is one of the sources of difficulties as is the lack of understanding of the "raison d'être" of these axioms. In…

Evidence-based mathematics interventions are critical for supporting students with mathematics difficulties. In research and practice, collecting implementation fidelity is important for ensuring that all the core components of the intervention are implemented as designed. Historically, implementation fidelity has been defined as multi-faceted…

Formative assessment has become a focus of classroom teachers as a quick method to assess students' progress in their classrooms. For students to be prepared for summative assessments, it is important to separate the traditional forms of summative assessment from the everyday practice and feedback that is formative assessment. Mathematics teachers…

This paper initiates a teaching sequence that focuses on building up equivalent definitions to the standard ones for the limit concept in Real Analysis. It comprises two parts: The first provides a classroom assignment where students, guided by Analysis lecturers, are led to develop an alternative definition to the [epsilon] - [delta] one for…

This research aims to determine the effect of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning on students' mathematical numeracy abilities. The research method uses descriptive quantitative research by only looking at the values displayed based on descriptive statistics, involving 40 participants during 8 meetings and using 10…

An algebraic model uses a set of algebra equations to precisely describe a situation. Constructing such models is a fundamental skill required by US standards for both math and science. It is usually taught with algebra word problems. However, many students still lack the skill, even after taking several algebra courses in high school and college.…

We consider the use of projects in math courses as a mechanism for promoting coding, communication, and interdisciplinary application of math skills. Final projects play an important role, but we also discuss several alternate types of projects. We describe a model that incorporates projects at all stages across the undergraduate mathematics…

This study describes the mathematical processes in TIMSS (Trends in Mathematics and Science Study) to reflect issues. A descriptive qualitative methodology was used in this analysis as the research approach. The research allocated the respondent to the 6th grade students of Muhammadiyah 6 in the sub-district of Dau, Malang regency, East Java,…

Algebraic thinking in children can bridge the cognitive gap between arithmetic and algebra. This quantitative study aimed to develop and test a cognitive model that examines the cognitive factors influencing algebraic thinking among Year Five pupils. A total of 720 Year Five pupils from randomly selected national schools in Malaysia participated…

This study explored the effect of PowerPoint integration on students' motivation and achievement in less endowed Senior High Schools (SHSs). The study employed the embedded mixed method approach involving quasi-experimental design in which 80 students were randomly selected from two government-assisted Senior High Schools and assigned to control…

This study, using a quantitative approach, examined Spanish and South African pre-service teachers' responses to translating word problems based on direct proportionality into equations. The participants were 79 South African and 211 Spanish prospective primary school teachers who were in their second year of a Bachelor of Education degree. The…
