We examined the characteristics of video annotations frequently discussed during debriefing conversations as part of video-assisted coaching cycles. We also analyzed how mathematics coaches used written annotations to inject ideas into debriefing conversations when supporting teachers to reflect on important classroom events. Coaches and teachers…

This paper provides evidence that a short, fully online, well-constructed diagnostic test based on research literature can give teachers information about their students' thinking and strategies that is sufficiently accurate to use for formative assessment purposes. The example is a test for students beginning to learn to solve equations. The main…

This article presents several mathematics problems on the same theme that can be used in class or for independent study. It is very difficult to show students how mathematics research is done by mathematicians, so the author first introduces a problem that can be tackled solely by arithmetic and then gives an idea of how a mathematician might…

Math-anxious people consistently underperform in math. The most widely accepted explanation for "why" this underperformance occurs is that math-anxious people experience heightened anxiety when faced with math, and this in-the-moment anxiety interferes with performance. Surprisingly, this explanation has not been tested directly. Here,…

Students expose various intuitions in probability comparison and calculation tasks. Large volumes of research looked into these intuitions by categorizing learners' strategies, but fewer studies considered how these intuitions may be associated with learners' judgments. Even fewer examined the mixed effects of multiple intuitions held by the same…

Background: Differences in competence gains between academic and non-academic track schools are often attributed to selection effects based on students' primary school performance and socioeconomic status (SES). However, how the competencies of comparable students (in terms of school performance and social background) at different tracks develop…

Mathematics achievement of Indonesian students has not been relatively optimal whereby most of the students still have low mathematics achievement. Hence, the present study develops and produces a digital game called Ucing Sumput that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing the mathematics achievement of Indonesian students. Research and…

This report focuses on Harlingen Consolidated Independent School District's 2022-2023 implementation of "My Math Academy" with Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grade students across its 17 elementary schools. Students' program usage has been associated with significant improvements on CIRCLE Progress Monitoring Assessment System (pre-K) and on…

Researchers have found that early math competencies are potent predictors of later student outcomes in math, reading, and executive functioning. This paper describes what early math instruction can look like and how some states have implemented evidence-backed strategies to teaching. Recommendations are given to State education leaders seeking to…

Teachers play a key role in promoting flexible mathematical thinking in society. There is a growing need to develop better methods for both pre- and in-service teacher training, but not enough is so far understood about what knowledge and skills teachers use in practical teaching situations. The means for investigating this are few. A new analytic…

Cooperative learning is a student-centred approach that enhances engagement and understanding. This study investigates the effectiveness of the Buddy system, a cooperative learning strategy, in improving Year 9 students' mathematical performance in converting between decimals, fractions, and percentages (DFP), and explores their perceptions of the…

The Getting Ready in Numeracy (GRIN) program supports underachieving students by preparing them for upcoming mathematics lessons through small-group tutoring. While prior research suggests positive outcomes, student perspectives remain underexplored. This study thematically analyses responses from 311 GRIN participants (Year levels 1-9) on…

Research has shown that teachers' perceptions and beliefs about good teaching are closely related to their teaching style and, consequently, to effective classroom learning and student achievement. Although much research has been conducted on good mathematics teaching, its sub-discipline, geometry, is often neglected. Therefore, this longitudinal…

Assessment in education has shifted from summative to formative models in recent decades, with technological advancements facilitating flexible implementation anytime and anywhere. Stemming from this phenomenon, this study aims to identify the trends in mathematics learning assessment in Southeast Asia through a systematic literature review (SLR)…

This study focused on utilising Newman's error analysis model to diagnose the errors made by Grade 3 learners when solving word problems in a diverse classroom setting. The research endeavour seeks to pinpoint the errors manifested by learners when tackling word problems, with the aim of offering practical approaches to bolster the instruction of…
