We report on findings from a study involving 15 secondary mathematics teachers from Fiji. The aim of the study is to describe teachers' current approaches to teaching probability and statistics; and to share their views on using game-based teaching approaches. We report briefly on the first stage of follow-up on one teacher who agreed to develop…

This study aims to investigate the effect of the online flipped learning model (OFLM) when integrated into a mathematics course in an emergency remote teaching process on seventh grade students' academic achievement, their attitudes towards their mathematics course, and their cognitive load. The study was designed as a crossover experimental…

The availability of tutors in schools is a privilege and an opportunity to support those students who may be sufficiently far behind the expected level that it is difficult for the classroom teacher to bridge the gap. The challenge for schools is to find ways to guide the work of tutors and teachers to improve chances that supported students can…

Covariational reasoning, essential for understanding functions and modeling dynamic situations, is traditionally introduced in secondary education. This paper proposes introducing covariational reasoning in primary school settings through an artifact, the Tracer. Previous studies investigate a covariational approach to functions with younger…

Years of failed attempts to engage my mathematics teacher students in exploration and co-creation led me to radically change my teaching approach. Inspired by literature that uses the jazz improv metaphor for teaching, I derived three tenets based on principles from jazz improv. First, I would bring no more than a single problem-solving task to…

This study examined the effects of the concrete-representational-abstract integrated sequence (CRA-I) on teaching place value concepts and their application. The research questions addressed the extent to which CRA-I changed student performance in (a) completing equations that required subtraction with regrouping in the tens place, (b) completing…

Coming from a social perspective, we introduce a classroom organizational frame, where students' proofs progress from collaborative construction in small groups, through whole-class presentation at the board by one of the constructors, to a posteriori reflection. This design is informed by a view on proofs as successive social processes in the…

The objective of the present study was to gain a deeper understanding of how middle-grade mathematics teachers implement questions in both technology-supported and non-technology-supported classrooms. The investigation demonstrated that in-service mathematics teachers teaching in a technology-supported classroom and in a non-technology-supported…

Across multiple countries the term "big ideas" of mathematics has become a construct advocated as important for teachers' mathematical knowledge. Indeed, several policy or position statement documents about math learning in the United States (U.S.) have stated that "big ideas" of math is a crucial construct for teacher…

The latest content and practice standards for mathematics have promoted the use of academic language and discourse in this content area. As such, the WIDA Consortium has evolved its guidelines to deepen teachers' conceptual understanding of language in their content areas, and thus, enable them to provide more effective instruction to multilingual…

Education plays an important role in creating a young generation to be able to compete in the era of globalization, one of which is through mathematics learning. The objectives of mathematics learning include mathematical communication, learning to reason mathematically, learning to solve problems, and learning to connect ideas. These abilities…

It is seen that there are few studies on the role of the knowledgeable other when the literature on Lesson Study [LS] is examined. However, for LS to be better understood and applied in different cultures, the role of the knowledgeable other in LS process should be clarified. This study aimed to determine the role of the researcher as the…

The sanctioned language around "mathematics teacher knowledge" in the US centers pedagogy, content (mathematical knowledge), and students. Yet, this teacher learning approach often promotes (explicitly or implicitly) teaching and learning of mathematics that operationalizes mathematics as rigid, as a gatekeeper, and only useful for…

The aim of this study is to examine how algorithmatizing tasks engage mathematics students in algorithmic thinking. Structured, task-based interviews were conducted with eight Year 12 students as they completed a sequence of algorithmatizing tasks involving maximum flow problems. A deductive-inductive analytical process was used to first classify…

Mathematical word problem-solving skills are crucial for students across their lives, yet solving such tasks poses challenges for many. Therefore, understanding the characteristics of mathematical word problems that are associated with students' performance is important. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to evaluate the…
