Our culture attributes women's and girls' ability in mathematics and related domains to their efforts more so than men's and boys'--a stereotype that contributes to inequities in scientific and technical careers. Here, we provide the first investigation of this gender stereotype in children, examining its endorsement across a broad age range and…

This article presents the adaptations for creating a set of Dragon Curve fractals using the Platonic polyhedra. The modeled fractals were inserted into environments programmed with Virtual Reality (VR) resources, which allow the visitor to manipulate and visualize each iteration used to construct these fractals. The structures of HTML page…

Governments and policymakers around the world are encouraging teachers to teach numeracy across the curriculum. This paper proposes a theoretical framework for the knowledge required to teach numeracy across multiple disciplines. The concept of teacher knowledge is complex and consists of many different facets of knowledge. This paper proposes a…

The teacher's central role in technology integration and the challenges of that integration emphasise the need for a deeper understanding about the teacher's knowledge required to teach with technology. Based on previous work and a systematic literature review, we identified three knowledge models often used: TPACK, KTMT and PTK. The goal of this…

In this case study, two teacher educators at Minority Serving Institutions explore how artifacts can foster deep, original thinking in a classroom. We share how we modeled the use of artifacts to design an interdisciplinary social studies lesson with teacher candidates (TCs). Making connections to "realia," such as maps, brochures, and…

Background/purpose: Student interest in mathematics plays a significant role in supporting their motivation and academic achievement. However, research in this area remains scattered and lacks a clear direction. This study was conducted to identify the development, trends, and research gaps in mathematics interest research between 2021 and 2025.…

As part of the ongoing assessment of AB 705, The RP Group's Multiple Measures Assessment Project (MMAP) regularly assesses the how this landmark legislation effects students access to and success in transfer-level English and math across the California Community Colleges. In addition to overall impact, the authors also explore the enrollment and…

The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate how generative AI tools, particularly ChatGPT, impact preservice teachers' lesson plans and attitudes toward mathematics. Fifty-five undergraduate students who were enrolled in their first semester of a teacher education program participated in the study. Each student created two lesson…

This study aimed to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' noticing of students' algebraic thinking based on students' correct and incorrect solutions within the context of pattern generalization. Designed as a qualitative case study, three noticing prompts were asked of thirty-two prospective middle school mathematics…

This article presents a set of "work-sharing routines," which teachers can use to broaden their repertoire of using student work, with an eye toward cultivating students' belonging. The authors define work-sharing as using actual mathematical student work, ideally from students in the class, to facilitate learning. Although there are…

Tables are fundamental tools for handling data and play a crucial role in developing both computational thinking (CT) and mathematical thinking (MT). Despite this, they receive limited attention in research and design. This study investigates pupils' attitudes toward and approaches to working with tables in informatics education, focusing on the…

Research suggests that collaborative learning may enhance the benefits to learners when solving cognitively demanding tasks. However, there are concerns about how students with different achievement and engagement levels perceive these benefits. This study examines how students with varying achievement and engagement levels respond to…

In this study, we approach Mathematical Modeling from a socio-critical perspective. Our aim was to achieve reflection and criticality in discussions about prostate cancer in the context of the Blue November campaign, which started in November 2011, hapenning every year from then and is dedicated to raising awareness about prostate cancer. Since…

Statistics for psychology is a challenging aspect of undergraduate psychology courses but poorly understood in experiential terms. Accordingly, we drew on Brookfield's 'four lenses for critical reflection' to acquire insights from first year psychology undergraduate free text survey responses (learner lens), and psychology educator survey free…
