South Africa has been battling with the poor performance of learners in Mathematics for a long time, with the Eastern Cape province being the worst-performing province. The Department of Education and other educational stakeholders have embarked on a journey of searching for solutions. Some of these include the use of Information communication…

Understanding the magnitudes represented by numerals is a core component of early mathematical development and is often assessed by accuracy in situating numerals and fractions on a number line. Performance on these measures is consistently related to performance in other mathematics domains, but the strength of these relations may be…

This study aims to reveal the mathematical reasoning process of 8th-grade students and the reasoning indicators they use in this process. The study was carried out in line with the data obtained from the Mathematical Reasoning Test (MRT) administered to 292 8th-grade students. The mathematical reasoning performances of the participants were…

This research aims to enhance mathematical proficiency and stimulate creative thinking among 10th-grade students through the implementation of the 5E Inquiry-Based Learning approach with Supplementary Media. The study explores the effectiveness of this pedagogical approach in transforming the learning experience and outcomes in mathematics…

Students who are affiliated with the United States Armed Forces will transition every two to four years depending on their parents' career. The students who move may have educational gaps in mathematics because of a United States Armed Forces move occurring in the middle of a school year. The problem of practice addresses the educational gaps that…

The difficulties college-level math instructors encountered switching from a traditional to an online classroom during the COVID-19 pandemic were the main topic of this study. The study's main goal was to learn more about the various strategies and tools the teachers employed to overcome the obstacles. Using a qualitative methodology, the…

Early mathematics achievement sets the stage for a range of important academic and career outcomes. As efforts to improve elementary mathematics instruction have increased, efforts to better understand how students develop mathematics knowledge and why students respond to mathematics instruction have also emerged. Given known correlations between…

Completing math coursework in the first year, among other milestones, points to longer term success for community or technical college (CTC) students. Despite colleges working to improve math achievement in more recent years, not all students attempt math in their first year. Practitioners of math pathways, however, suggest that when colleges work…

Understanding the secondary--tertiary transition is not only an educational matter, but also an inclusion and equality matter as mathematics qualifications lead to better employment and better earning for students. Research on what causes the crisis associated to this transition has so far focused on the impact of cognitive and epistemological…

The purpose of this study is to present a general perspective by examining the research works about primary school mathematics. In this direction, 637 articles in the Web of Science database and published in SSCI indexed journals between 1980 and 2021 were analyzed by bibliometric analysis, the general structure of the concepts in the studies was…

We report on a group theory activity in which learners explored dihedral symmetries through a tangible geometric model. This approach has historical roots in the work of Felix Klein's Erlangen Program and his "Elementary Mathematics from an Advanced Standpoint." We situate our study with respect to this history as well as current…

Good stories, literary or mathematical, have the ability to keep the reader engaged and wanting for more. However, poorly designed stories may also elicit a negative aesthetic reaction and thereby reduce engagement. By drawing on literary theory and Dietiker's ("For the Learning of Mathematics" 33(3):14-19, 2013; "Educational…

It is wildly held belief that one way to interest students in mathematics is to use real-world examples. Mathematics teachers are aware of the lack of interest in mathematics by many students and seek ways to improve their motivation. It seems reasonable to suggest that demonstrating to students the ubiquitous nature of mathematics may help…

ABN (Abierto Basado en Números--Open Calculation Based on Numbers) is a method for teaching basic arithmetic operations in primary education that has become popular in recent years and that is based on the decomposition of numbers through manipulative materials that encourage mental calculation. Currently there is limited number of tools that can…

Texas A&M University-Commerce has implemented supplemental instruction (SI) for Calculus since the fall of 2013. A direct display of the ABC rates from fall 2005 to spring 2021 only presents fluctuation from semester to semester, and one can hardly deduce that the ABC rates are increasing. In this paper, the "moving average"…
