Background: While there exists a large body of research on the benefits of play in supporting children's mathematical learning, the vast majority of such research has been conducted in early childhood or informal contexts, rather than formal K-12 schools. Moreover, this research has predominantly focused on adults' perspectives of children's play.…

Maths starts with children's first experiences of their world with understanding spatial relations, and then continues with their experiences to extend their learning. The learning process starts before formal education and moves along with school learning. As the first stage of formal learning, early years and early years teachers play an…

In this study, we examine the real-time decision-making processes of a teacher in a UK post-16 mathematics classroom focusing on the integration of student-centred teaching methods. The contribution of this study is a transdisciplinary theoretical discussion which links teachers' actual classroom practices (often traditional and teacher centred)…

We provide a gentle alert that the standard definitions of basic algebraic structures--such as that of a group--contain aspects that may be questionable to students, and discuss what instructors could do to minimise the questionability.

I provide a visual proof for the "Convergence of a Hyper power sequence," which generalises a beautiful result; also proved visually by Azarpanah in 2004.

With the sudden onset of the pandemic, little was known about the implications of transitioning college mathematics classes to online environments. In light of many students' difficulties in passing remedial and first-year mathematics courses in both synchronous and asynchronous classrooms, gaining an understanding of the impact of this transition…

Research has shown that computational thinking and kindergarten mathematics instruction can be integrated; however, evidence of how specific mathematical knowledge relates to computational thinking remains scarce. Additionally, we do not know if and how children's mathematical knowledge co-occurs with computational thinking and how these…

The ability to solve mathematical problems has been an interesting research topic for several decades. Intuition is considered a part of higher-level thinking that can help improve mathematical problem-solving abilities. Although many studies have been conducted on mathematical problem-solving, research on intuition as a bridge in mathematical…

I investigated the relationships between mathematics achievement on the Iowa Assessments and the mastery of four epistemic actions: selecting, analyzing, computing, and representing. These epistemic actions play a crucial role in characterizing mathematical reasoning and are essential for solving mathematics problems in the Iowa Assessments across…

Teachers hold complex goals when making decisions about their curriculum. In particular, the proliferation of supplemental resources means teachers negotiate both how to use the adopted curriculum and how to supplement it with additional resources. Through a study of the language teachers use, the decision-making of three elementary classrooms is…

The research aimed to achieve the following objectives: 1)Assess the effectiveness of cooperative learning management utilizing the STAD technique and KWDL technique among PrathomSuksa 6 students in solving decimal problems, with a target of achieving a 75/75 criterion, 2) Enhance the problem-solving abilities of grade 6 students in mathematics by…

The goal of the study is to examine a comprehensive review of research involving augmented reality (AR) in mathematics teaching during the previous 10 years. For this purpose, the research was conducted using a systematic review technique. It synthesized a set of 60 articles from 2012 to 2021. Two researchers used content analysis to analyze the…

The purpose of this qualitative transcendental phenomenological study was to understand how high-stakes assessments shape the teacher efficacy and instructional practices of early career secondary mathematics teachers within Title I schools. With the increasing pressure on school districts to meet accountability standards, early career mathematics…

The low academic learning outcomes and persistence rates among students starting in developmental mathematics at community colleges are concerning. Improving the teaching and learning of developmental mathematics is imperative. This Action Research study aimed to investigate and improve developmental mathematics students' low retention rate and…

The intention of the study was to examine the effects of a fraction intervention in a whole-class environment. The intervention aimed to enhance students' conceptual fraction knowledge, with a major focus on fraction magnitude understanding. This study included 120 fifth-grade students in standard classroom settings. Utilizing a cluster randomized…
