In the present study, we investigated the impact of a word-problem intervention in retention and acquisition of knowledge after the intervention ended. We based analyses upon Grade 4 students experiencing mathematics difficulty (average age at pretest = 8.77) who received one of two variants of a word-problem intervention (with [n = 111] vs.…

This secondary data analysis of the High School Longitudinal Study of 2009 (HSLS) examined math efficacy among 9th-grade students with disabilities (n = 2,065), as well as the instructional efficacy among the mathematics teachers to whom they were assigned (n = 1,478). Follow-up tests showed both positive and negative relationships between each of…

Learning with understanding is essential to enabling students to solve problems that they will inevitably face in the future. Students will be more successful, if they are engaged in thought-provoking activities that encourage them to grow in their mathematical understanding and identity. With this study we intended to understand how the…

We present a recent randomized field trial delivered in Carnegie Learning's MATHia's intelligent tutoring system to a sample of 12,374 learners intended to test whether rewriting content in a selection of so-called "word problems" improves student mathematics performance within this content, especially among students who are emerging as…

This article draws on the simple context of a two animal farm to create an engaging and mathematically meaningful problem solving task for students. It aims to encourage students to think systematically and to present their findings methodically. The task is structured sequentially, making it suitable for primary school students from Year 1 to…

Recent studies show that English learning students are a growing population within the United States school system. Language barriers have been shown to negatively influence reading scores as well as math scores, and math scores are a predictor of future academic success in many subject areas. This qualitative action research study demonstrates…

Acquiring mathematical literacy requires students to apply mathematics in various real-world contexts. However, mathematics classes often provide brief, content-focused descriptions of reality-based tasks and tasks that describe the situation as more complex, closer to reality, are still lacking. Students with different sociodemographic…

This study compares the effects of student-centred teaching methods, teacher-centred methods, and teacher-student interactive methods on students' mathematics academic achievement. For this purpose, calculus, compound interest, annuities, and depreciation topics were taught to first-year college students in three different groups: traditional…

This study presents an in-depth analysis of the factors influencing the adoption and utilisation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in primary mathematics education. Employing a quantitative research design, the study integrates the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and Technological Pedagogical and Content Knowledge (TPACK) with empirical data…

This study's purpose was to analyse the relationship between geometric thinking skills with self-regulated learning and with students' basic geometry skills. Furthermore, analyze student errors in solving geometry problems based on their self-regulated learning to determine the optimal geometry learning environment for geometry thinking skills.…

In the current technology-driven era, digital game-based learning (DGBL) has emerged as a practical approach for enhancing mathematics achievement among young students. It is believed that digital drill-and-practice educational games can replace traditional pen-and-paper drills in mathematics education and have a better influence on incorporating…

Purchasing skills are important for students with disabilities, including those with support needs, to access their community and future employment opportunities independently. However, making purchasing and money decisions can involve a variety of mathematics skills like rounding, estimation, and price comparison. Schematic diagrams and…

Vertical scales are frequently developed using common item nonequivalent group linking. In this design, one can use upper-grade, lower-grade, or mixed-grade common items to estimate the linking constants that underlie the absolute measurement of growth. Using the Rasch model and a dataset from Curriculum Associates' i-Ready Diagnostic in math in…

The use of technologies in mathematics education at all levels has been discussed extensively for a number of years. It is one of the few themes that was the object of two ICMI studies, the most recent being published in 2010. Two new approaches, emerging lately in the teaching and learning of Mathematics at all levels, will be discussed:…

Grounded in Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT), this study explores how teacher instruction clarity impacts Year 9 students' mathematics interest through the mediating roles of confidence and value, with a focus on gender differences. Structural equation modelling applied to the 2019 New Zealand TIMSS dataset (2,594 girls and 2,651 boys)…
