The aim of the current study is to investigate the effects of digital teaching materials on 4th graders' academic achievement on fractions subject and attitudes towards mathematics and computers. The study was planned with a pretest and posttest control group design. The participants of the study were 60 students studying in a public elementary…

The materials and artefacts used by teachers and students for learning mathematics have always had an important role in mathematics education. Key among such materials are textbooks and teacher guides. The study presented in this paper attempts to investigate the interaction between mathematics teachers and the teacher guide as well as its…

In the United States, the first course in single-variable calculus is considered tertiary level mathematics. Initially offered in high schools as a means for strong students to do college-level work, it is now taken by over 20% of high school students and perceived to be a prerequisite for admission into selective colleges and universities. This…

Educational mathematics researchers and educationists emphasise teaching for understanding. However, does it influence students' mathematical learning behaviour? The purpose of this study was to explore late adolescent students' views on mathematical learning behaviour in teaching-for-understanding classes. Content analysis of secondary data from…

Mathematics education aims to help students understand and solve problems in their daily lives. Facilitating mathematical problem-solving for most students is a major challenge for teachers and students. The research was carried out to support students in developing their ability to resolve problems by learning the first-degree equations in one…

With this article, we aim to spur a conversation on research implementation in the context of collaborations of mathematics teachers and educational researchers, with a special interest in projects situated in university mathematics education. Implementation has been often discussed in relation to the education of school teachers, and we suggest…

An effective instructional approach in elementary mathematics education has a significant role in the understanding of mathematical concepts and overall student achievement. We point out the characteristics, significance and effects that may be achieved in mathematics education through the application of project-based learning. The aim of the…

For this study, Mursion TeachLivE™ simulation afforded virtual microteaching opportunities for elementary prospective teachers (PTs) enrolled in online mathematics method courses over two years. We assert that virtual microteaching (i.e., leading student-centered discussion after problem solving) using customized Mursion simulation coupled with…

This research is generally conducted to solve the difficulties of students in understanding courses in mathematics education especially in the real analysis course, in addition, this research specifically aims to examine, describe and compare differences in the ability to think mathematically critically between students who obtain learning concept…

We offer this synthesized framework as a tool to reveal mathematical activity in a non-formal makerspace. In particular, we connect research at different grain sizes to illustrate and explain how mathematics plays a crucial, if often implicit, role in this activity. We begin with describing the Approximate Number System and the Ratio-Processing…

Mediated Field Experiences (MFEs) provide teacher candidates (TCs) structured opportunities to unpack and enact core teaching practices, gain mathematics content and pedagogical knowledge, and reflect critically on mathematics teaching and learning. In this paper we present findings from a multi-institutional descriptive pilot study that…

In this dissertation, acceleration in developmental mathematics at Utah Valley University through compression of a 4-course sequence into a 2-course sequence was examined to determine the extent to which sequence length predicted student success outcomes, including completion of, pass/fail grades in, and re-enrollment into subsequent developmental…

Some elementary students may exhibit challenging externalizing or internalizing behaviors in addition to difficulty with mathematics. In this study, we explored the behavioral patterns of 441 3rd-grade students with and without mathematics difficulty (MD). Compared to students without MD, students with MD demonstrated higher rates of externalizing…

The art of teaching and learning mathematics is rooted in the discourse that takes place between the teacher and students and among students. This discourse creates understanding, recognition of confusion, and corrections that lead to forward progress in learning. However, the type of discourse that occurs in mathematics today differs greatly from…

As technology becomes more advanced, it becomes more tempting for teachers to integrate it into their lesson planning. Although technology can be beneficial to student learning, there are issues that arise as barriers during this integration of technology into the classroom. Some of these barriers include students becoming distracted and using the…
