This research examines the relationship between prerequisite algebra knowledge and graduate corporate finance course performance. Standardized math questions designed for an undergraduate introductory finance course also predict quantitative performance metrics among 128 business graduate students. Results demonstrate that prerequisite math…

Learning-support system is an umbrella term that we use for digital resources that assign students with mathematical questions and give automatic feedback on the inserted answers. Transitioning between questions and feedback is characteristic to students' work with such systems. We apply the commognitive framework to explore the role of…

Even at the primary level, computational thinking (CT) can support young students to prepare for participating in futures that are immersed in data. In mathematics classrooms, there are few explanations of the ways CT can support students in formulating and solving complex problems. This paper presents an example of a primary classroom…

Students with learning disabilities in mathematics often struggle with the underlying concepts of multidigit addition and subtraction. To help students build a conceptual understanding of these computations, teachers can utilize evidence-based practices such as the concrete-semi-concrete-abstract framework and the use of multiple visual…

Construct maps and related item type frameworks, which respectively describe and identify common patterns in student reasoning, provide teachers with tools to support instruction built upon students' intuitive thinking. We present a methodological approach--embedded within common assessment development processes--for developing such construct maps…

This paper aims to reveal the potential of inferentialism, an emerging philosophy in mathematics education, to extend contemporary constructivist research regarding conceptual development. Going against the traditional view of a notion as the name of a corresponding concept and a constructivist way of naming second-order models, we provide a new…

This study explores students' use of mathematical objects in each problem-solving phase based on an onto-semiotic perspective. The subjects of this research are students who solve problems in different ways but all with the correct result. The first student uses organizational data by applying the concept of permutations. In contrast, the second…

Examining the research on mathematics education of multicultural students in Turkey and identifying weak points can be a guide for better educational practices. The purpose of this study was to review previous studies on the mathematics education of students from different cultures in Turkey and to identify trends in those studies. The research…

This article describes "Verse Chronograms" in the Cabrera Portrait (1750) of Sor Juana. The author explains the meaning of three hard-to-see sets of verses inscribed on the canvas, that are a kind of text known as a chronogram, a literary puzzle in which the numerical values of letters that correspond to Roman numerals are added up so…

Students have varying degrees of creativity and can develop their creative abilities in specific disciplines through various stimuli. Tracing the students' mathematical creativity is very important since creativity is not a gift for specific students; rather, all students have it. The participants of this study were 170 urban and rural middle…

Math anxiety (MA) is an important affective factor that contributes to individuals' math proficiency. While self-reports are commonly used to measure MA, a number of limitations are inherently connected to this measuring method. Physiological responses are considered a promising alternative approach, but research is scarce and the empirical…

Whilst there has been significant focus on STEM in Australian education for several years, there has been very little focus on the integration of Digital Technologies (especially coding) with the other STEM disciplines. Similarly, high school mathematics education remains largely a standalone discipline. This paper describes a full year…

The question of the sources of electric and magnetic fields and their causes has been discussed extensively in the literature over the last decades. In this article, we approach this problem from the unified treatment of electromagnetic fields emphasizing the role of their sources in accordance with the cause-effect relationships. First, we…

This study examines middle school mathematics teachers' concept definitions of five geometric objects (prism, pyramid, cone, cylinder, and sphere). The study included 99 middle-grade mathematics teachers in three provinces and districts. The data were gathered through six open-ended questions determined to reveal the participants' Concept…

The purpose of this research was to investigate students' mathematical understandings of fraction division with an ethnomathematics/STEM framework. A small group teaching study (Cobb et al., 2003) was conducted using design research methodology to examine how students interacted with the curriculum. The researcher served as interventionist and…
