Argumentation is fundamental and essential in mathematics education. It promotes deep mathematical understanding and helps students connect abstract ideas logically. However, teachers and students in the traditional teacher-centered classroom face difficulties teaching and learning math argumentation. In this article, a cooperative…

United States math achievement has long lagged behind that of other nations and has been relatively stagnant for 8th-graders on national assessments over the past 2 decades. The need to understand how teachers can better support mathematics learning is particularly acute in the wake of pandemic-era learning disruptions, which impacted already low…

In the United States, stagnating mathematics achievement and persistent racial and socioeconomic disparities in math performance point to a need to understand how math teachers can more effectively support the learning of each and every student. Given a growing body of research that emphasizes the impact of the classroom environment on student…

This study presents a novel approach to improving quality assurance in the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS). It utilizes a combination of neural networks and regression analysis to validate country-level achievement scores. Concerns over the integrity of TIMSS test scores necessitate robust quality control methods. The…

Math anxiety refers to the emotions of fear, worry, and avoidance that students experience while learning math or participating in math-related activities. How to effectively alleviate students' math anxiety has always been a concern for global education researchers. Generative artificial intelligence (Gen-AI) is a specialized branch of artificial…

It is essential that students are encouraged to become rational thinkers for building thinking classrooms. Teachers must adopt rational questioning techniques to facilitate the development of rational behaviours in their students. However, the implementation of rational questioning requires the ability to respond to students based on their…

Researchers studying achievement goal orientations theory generally approached it with a domain-generic perspective. Learners' goals and motivation to learn, however, can vary by subject. This study examined the relationships among perceived parental goals, students' personal goals, and engagement in a subject-specific domain (mathematics…

This paper explores the views of early years teachers who were 'early adopters' of a revised assessment framework for children aged 4-5 years in England (2020-21). Based on interviews with four teachers and a survey involving 58 early adopters (part of a larger sample), the paper examines how these teachers have adapted their practice in…

This study investigates the use of GeoGebra, a Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) for math learning in Virtual Reality (VR) using head-mounted displays. We conducted a study with n = 20 middle school students receiving a mathematics tutoring intervention over time in a VR environment. Using theories of embodied cognition and playful mathematics, this…

Background/purpose: This study investigates the impact of online instruction on students' learning achievement and motivation in simplifying radical expressions in mathematics. With the increasing integration of technology in education, understanding its effectiveness compared to traditional modular learning is essential. The main purpose is to…

This meta-analysis assessed the effectiveness of problem-posing interventions on learners' cognitive learning outcomes. We systematically reviewed 26 quantitative studies published between 2002 and 2024. The results show a large, positive, and significant effect (Hedges's [g-bar] = 0.53) of problem-posing interventions. A series of subgroup…

This research investigated the mathematical content knowledge and attitudes of a cohort of primary education student teachers and is a comparative study to that of Young-Loveridge et al. (2012a, 2012b), which was undertaken 10 years prior. In both studies the student teachers were about to commence their first compulsory mathematics education…

Background/Context: As college tuition continues to rise, financial barriers to higher education disproportionately impact low-income students. Over the last few decades, several states have instituted merit-based scholarships not only to increase college access but to create incentives for college readiness among high school students. The…

In this article, we illustrate how mathematics and special education teachers can collaboratively plan together to differentiate mathematics instruction for students with exceptionalities. We describe a structured, collaborative planning protocol that is the first phase of a Mathematics-Specific Consultation for Students with Exceptionalities…

The tutor-web is an open-source learning environment designed to be used for teaching mathematics and statistics. The system offers thousands of exercises at high school and university level, and has been used for a decade to teach introductory statistics courses with good results. A new component has recently been added to the tutor-web so that…
