Although absolute value is of interest to mathematics teaching researchers, since many students face problems with it, there does not seem to be an integrated record of students' errors. The present study attempts to conduct a systematic review to identify and categorize errors and misconceptions of secondary school students aged 12-18 concerning…

The Reading and Appreciating Mathematical Proofs (RAMP) project seeks to provide novel resources for teaching undergraduate introduction to proof courses centered around reading activities. These reading activities include (1) reading rich proofs to learn new mathematics through proofs as well as to learn how to read proofs for understanding and…

This study addresses a gap in the empirical research about how students use computational thinking (CT) skills throughout the problem-solving process, which is a crucial skill for STEM learning. I conducted task-based interviews with two pairs of Year 8 students with strong mathematical problem-solving skills and previous experience in solving…

This research aims to examine recent studies on the dimensions necessary for developing mathematical modelling instruction and established frameworks used in teaching mathematical modelling. The study followed the steps outlined as such: identification, screening, eligibility, inclusion, and data analysis throughout three search engines: ERIC,…

Self-regulated learning comprises cognitive, emotional, and behavioral dimensions. However, flipped classroom studies have mainly focused on behavioral self-regulation and overlooked their relationships with each other. This quasi-experiment was conducted to investigate whether implementing self-regulated cognitive strategies (SRCSs) in preclass…

Big Ideas in school mathematics can be seen as overarching concepts that occur in various mathematical topics in a syllabus. For teachers, this knowledge can be used to help students develop a better understanding of mathematics by making visible the central ideas, and connection across topics and across levels. For students, this knowledge can…

This study critically examines the mathematics knowledge of pre-service post-primary mathematics teachers (N = 85) on commencing their Professional Master of Education (Level 9) initial teacher education (ITE) programme across four institutions in Ireland. Given the nature of a consecutive approach to mathematics teacher education, pre-service…

(Purpose) This study aimed to evaluate the efficacy of Imagine Math by comparing the performance of program users and non-users on the NWEA MAP Growth Math assessment. (Methods) Propensity score matching was utilized to compare statistically similar southeastern U.S. charter school students who used or did not use the Imagine Math program during…

This qualitative case study of four middle school and secondary school mathematics teachers examines how teachers' reflective practice supported their selection of strategies that align with the needs of current mathematics education according to the 10 dimensions of mathematics education. The findings suggest that teachers' reflection practice,…

In the present study, we investigated the impact of a word-problem intervention in retention and acquisition of knowledge after the intervention ended. We based analyses upon Grade 4 students experiencing mathematics difficulty (average age at pretest = 8.77) who received one of two variants of a word-problem intervention (with [n = 111] vs.…

This secondary data analysis of the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS) examined math efficacy among 9th-grade students with disabilities (n = 2,065), as well as the instructional efficacy among the mathematics teachers to whom they were assigned (n = 1,478). Follow-up tests showed both positive and negative relationships between each of…

Learning with understanding is essential to enabling students to solve problems that they will inevitably face in the future. Students will be more successful, if they are engaged in thought-provoking activities that encourage them to grow in their mathematical understanding and identity. With this study we intended to understand how the…

We present a recent randomized field trial delivered in Carnegie Learning's MATHia's intelligent tutoring system to a sample of 12,374 learners intended to test whether rewriting content in a selection of so-called "word problems" improves student mathematics performance within this content, especially among students who are emerging as…

This article draws on the simple context of a two animal farm to create an engaging and mathematically meaningful problem solving task for students. It aims to encourage students to think systematically and to present their findings methodically. The task is structured sequentially, making it suitable for primary school students from Year 1 to…

Recent studies show that English learning students are a growing population within the United States school system. Language barriers have been shown to negatively influence reading scores as well as math scores, and math scores are a predictor of future academic success in many subject areas. This qualitative action research study demonstrates…
