This paper was an attempt to redesign the current professional development training for Mathematics teachers in the Philippines. Mathematics teachers claimed that most training and seminars they attended ignored their local work context; was routinely and was hardly applicable to their classroom milieu. By utilizing the transformative professional…

Developing PISA like mathematics problems using daily life context helps to improve the quality of learning. This study aimed to generate a valid, practical, and having potential effects on mathematics literacy ability PISA like mathematics problems with the context of sailing in the 2018 Asian Games. This research involved three expert reviews…

The invention of the computer has led to the establishment of a new research paradigm, computation, which has recently become more and more popular in scientific exploration. However, computation is not well represented in high school and university curricula in science and engineering, although it applies to a wide range of disciplines beyond…

Games-based learning involves instruction with realistic game experiences (Cicchino, 2015). This action research study explored game-based learning as fifth grade mathematics students completed a brief unit on ordered pairs utilizing game-based lessons. Attitude and achievement data were collected mainly by surveys, content tests, student…

The use of hypermedia educational materials in education has gained relevance in recent years and is the object of numerous research activities. In the context of teaching and learning Mathematics, there are diverse works detailing their potential to improve both student learning and student attitude towards the subject. In this article, the…

Mandates to improve curriculum and instruction have failed to produce mathematically proficient students, with 40-60% needing remedial coursework in college, despite incorporation of technology. The SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, Redefinition) model redirects technological focus away from specific technologies to how technology is…

Students with the most significant cognitive disabilities often display deficits in mathematics. One method that has had limited research to determine the effectiveness with students with the most significant cognitive disabilities is a program called TouchMath. The purpose of this study was to investigate the use of the TouchMath strategy with…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of a vocabulary tutoring intervention with defining key vocabulary terms and algebraic problem-solving skills of students who struggle with mathematics. Literature shows that there is a need to further explore how students with mathematical learning difficulties learn mathematics vocabulary at…

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of use of graphing calculators on student achievement in Common Core Algebra I. The following are the research questions of the proposed study. To what extent does use of graphing calculators in the math classroom affect student achievement? How might the use of graphing calculators in the…

Mathematics teachers are vital components in determining what mathematics students have the opportunity to learn. There are a vast number of factors and reasons that influence a teacher's instructional decisions. As such, teachers rely heavily on their curricular reasoning (CR) to make decisions about what content to teach, how that content is…

A growing body of research suggests that the effects of core mathematics instruction on student mathematics outcomes may not be uniform across different skill levels in mathematics. This study investigated the extent to which observed components of explicit mathematics instruction explained why students' initial mathematics achievement was…

Quality primary education is one of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Undoubtedly, mathematics plays a key role in overcoming future challenges, and mathematical competence and problem-solving skills could help provide appropriate solutions to current and future social, environmental and economic challenges. The following paper deals…

In this study, the effects of redesigned modeling activities on the academic achievement of 7th grade students and the student's view about these activities were investigated. We use explanatory sequential mixed method design that is one of the mixed research methodology for this investigation. The quantitative part of this research established…

A crucial step in improving the use of digital technology (DT) for learning mathematical concepts in the classroom appears to be increasing teacher involvement in task development. Hence, this research considered the effect of a professional development (PD) programme designed to assist teachers with DT task production for implementation in their…

The Common Core State Standards in Mathematics outline both the content and practices students must engage in at each grade level to become mathematically proficient. Mathematical processes include problem solving, reasoning and proof, communication, and procedural fluency, which includes flexible thinking. The purpose of this study was to…
