Scholars have often proposed the use of "Culturally Relevant Pedagogy" (CRP) as a way to improve the experience of Black learners in mathematics classrooms. Prior research shows Black learners show improvement in comprehension, engagement, motivation, and confidence as a result of CRP's use. However, there is limited research on whether…

Background: In the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is critical to reflect holistically on the experiences gained in the past few years. We thus review research on remote mathematics teaching in Pre-K-12 contexts, utilising Activity Theory as a theoretical lens for research synthesis. Objectives: Drawing from a comprehensive overview of the…

This article reconsiders the role of prior academic preparation as it relates to English learners' access to advanced coursework in high school. Using longitudinal data from New York City (n = 178,155), we test a set of interactions between middle school preparation--in the form of math achievement and advanced math and science coursework--and…

Research has frequently demonstrated negative effects of placing students into developmental education, but very little inquiry has considered the impact of placing students into different levels of non-developmental coursework. The present study explored this issue within sequenced pairs of STEM gateway courses using doubly-robust propensity…

The research presented in this paper aims to shed light on the complex role of mathematics teacher educators who led courses for prospective mathematics teachers. Theoretically, the research combines the documentational approach to didactics and the meta-didactical transposition frameworks, complementing the study with the analysis of the teacher…

Propositional teacher knowledge is recognised as valuable in classroom teaching practice, yet little attention has been paid to it relative to practical knowledge. This mixed-methods study aimed to understand the relationship between teachers' propositional knowledge and their classroom teaching practice in the collaborative school context using…

Background and Context: Integrating computer science (CS) and math in classrooms is an increasingly recognized way for schools to address national CS mandates. There is a need to understand how professional development (PD) can support teachers to integrate. Objective: We examined math teachers' interest, and confidence, in math, CS, and student…

The lightboard, an affordable and readily accessible tool, has become a promising approach for enhancing engagement in instructional videos. Despite its potential, previous studies have primarily highlighted the benefits of lightboard videos by evaluating learners' subjective experiences, with limited empirical research examining their impact on…

Mathematical modeling is crucial in the field of education, particularly in mathematics, as it enhances students' mathematical skills and prepares them for solving real-world problems. The study focuses on the challenges of teaching mathematical modeling, specifically in the Malaysian education system. We utilized a case study approach, involving…

ChatGPT's advanced text generation capability has significant potential for the development of innovative and effective pedagogical strategies in mathematics teaching. The integration of ChatGPT into the mathematical story-focused 5E lesson plan preparation process is a concrete reflection of this potential. The success of this integration depends…

This study investigated effective teaching strategies for enhancing mathematical fundamentals in Key Stage 1, specifically in Kindergarten and Grade 1, under the newly implemented MATATAG Curriculum. Anchored on the principle that early numeracy forms the foundation for future academic success. The research addressed the gap in instructional…

This open access book utilizes data from two large-scale international assessments--TIMSS 2019 and ICCS 2016--to investigate the extent to which education for sustainable development outcomes is conveyed and accomplished within various educational systems. Specifically, it aims to expand the understanding of how students' environmental knowledge…

This study evaluated the effects of Precision Teaching in improving typically developing students' mathematical skills when delivered via teleconferencing in India. Four students received Precision Teaching, while nine acted as control participants. Precision teaching involved instruction in three mathematical skills; two prerequisite skills and…

This article presents a strength-based, cross-age mentorship program where second and sixth-grade students in a multicultural primary school collaborate in mathematics. The sixth-grade students serve as mentors/tutors for the younger students. Drawing on positioning theory and storylines, we have focused on the mentor's outcome, specifically how…

This research examines the effects of worked-out examples, grounded in Cognitive Load Theory, which incorporate different solution methods through the Nearpod application--a Web 2.0 tool--on fifth-grade students' achievement in fractions, as well as their attitudes and motivation towards mathematics. The study group consisted of 77 fifth-grade…
