Teaching style has long been recognized as a factor influencing students' achievement, particularly in subjects like mathematics. However, its impact on aspiring elementary mathematics teachers, often considered generalists, remains relatively underexplored. Based on the theoretical underpinning of self-determination theory, the paper examines how…

As technology becomes increasingly prominent in modern mathematics education, there's a growing need to understand the essential knowledge mathematics teachers need to effectively integrate technology in algebra instructions. This study therefore enhances the current Knowledge of Algebra for Teaching (KAT) framework, which theorises teachers'…

The study examines pre-service mathematics teachers' perceptions of the integration of technology into algebra education. With the growing emphasis on technology in education, it is crucial to understand how pre-education teachers see technology and engage in it when teaching mathematics. The research aims to gain a view of their beliefs,…

The aim of the study is to examine assessment experiences and practices in mathematics in high school from the students' perspective. To gain insight into the students' experiences and practices, we used a qualitative approach. The data are based on qualitative focus group interviews with first year students in the general studies education…

This case study investigated the relationship between five undergraduate interior design students' reasoning with numerical units and reasoning about length and area. The multiplicative concepts frame participants' coordination of numerical units. Differences were found between participants' reasoning about length and area, based on their…

Background: Real-world problems are important in math instruction, but they do not necessarily trigger students' task motivation. Personalizing real-world problems by (1) matching problems to students' shared living environment (context personalization) and (2) asking students to pose their own problems (active personalization) might be two…

Student self-beliefs can shape their self-efficacy and influence achievement. Further, student self-beliefs can be influenced by teachers' own beliefs and expectations for their students. Yet, the relations between teacher expectations, teacher and student gender, student mathematics achievement outcomes and self-efficacy have been little…

Mathematics teachers are continuously looking for ways to improve student learning. New or modified classroom strategies can help teachers reach these goals to increase student achievement, motivation, and confidence in their abilities. The purpose of this study was to examine the impact of students working as collaborative pairs in high school…

This report discusses findings based on responses to a request for information (RFI) led by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Digital Promise, which received nearly 200 responses that described a variety of innovative approaches to leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) for mathematics teaching and learning. As AI becomes increasingly…

This paper explores magical realism as a theoretical lens for analysing mathematics classrooms. Traditional frameworks often overlook the complexities of teaching and learning, focusing solely on measurable aspects. Inspired by magical realism -- a literary genre blending the fantastical and the everyday -- I propose a new perspective on how…

This study seeks to evaluate the learning outcomes mentioned in the Mathematics Curriculum of the 5th grade students in Türkiye, based on certain criteria. The general survey model was adopted in the study. The study group consists of 44 mathematics teachers from 12 different regions of Türkiye who, during the 2022-2023 academic year, worked in…

This study examines the impact of the linguistic transition from Arabic to French on the comprehension of mathematical concepts among first-year middle school students in Morocco. Utilizing a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzes student performance in identifying quadrilaterals and calculating their area and perimeter in both languages.…

This study focused on automaticity, or the choices we make without conscious thought. Specifically, the study examined how math teachers improved their understanding of the practice and evolution of culturally responsive teaching by analyzing the lived experiences and metacognition of practicing middle school teachers as they assess student work…

Coming from the commognitive standpoint, we consider proof-based mathematics as a distinct discourse, the transition to which requires special rules for endorsement and rejection of mathematical statements. In this study, we investigate newcomers' learning of these rules when being taught them explicitly. Our data come from academically motivated…

Completion of remedial mathematics has been identified as one of the keys to college success. However, completion rates in remedial mathematics have been low and are of much debate across America. This study leverages machine learning techniques in trying to predict and understand completion rates in remedial mathematics. The purpose of this study…
