This study examined seventh-grade students' emergent and progressive financial literacy in the context of risk and reward while working on two mathematical modelling tasks. The participants were six seventh-grade students identified as 'good at mathematics' by their teachers. The data sources comprised videotaped group discussions, group…

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into mathematical problem-solving has shown significant potential to enhance student learning and performance. However, while AI tools offer numerous benefits, they are prone to occasional conceptual and arithmetic errors that can mislead users and obscure understanding. This research examines such…

Spaced retrieval practice harnesses two well-studied phenomena: the spacing effect, where spacing out practice over several sessions leads to a gain in retention compared to massed practice in one session; and the testing effect, where material that is tested is better retained than material that is restudied. This meta-analysis investigates if,…

This study aims to evaluate the impact of Circumference Board gamification on the achievement of second-form students in the topic of circles at two schools in Putrajaya, Malaysia. The study involved 60 students, with 30 students from each school (15 male and 15 female) selected using random stratified sampling. A quasi-experimental design was…

English Learners benefit from rich opportunities to explore and engage with peers. We describe pattern-seeking and argument-constructing activities that support partners as they co-construct representations of networks, such as social networks connecting people. Such activities allow all students to explore relationships between vertices, edges,…

This 2-year qualitative case study focuses on one emergent mathematics teacher leader, Mr. Miller, and his conceptualization of Social Justice Mathematics (SJM). SJM is a justice-oriented pedagogical approach where students simultaneously learn dominant mathematics and explore social injustices to take action toward justice. Using Rodriguez's…

The objectives of this research were: 1) to study the components and indicators of learning management competency for mathematics teachers to enhancing analytical thinking; and 2) to examine the consistency and fit of a proposed model describing the components and indicators for enhancing the learning management competency of mathematics teachers…

There has been a consensus that students' conceptual understanding of mathematical operations (such as multiplication) can be developed through communication about multiple representations. However, learning opportunities have often appeared to be limited to surface translations (in which only obvious similarities such as numbers have been…

"Elevating clinical practice in mathematics education" has potential to greatly transform the preparation of effective mathematics teachers. In the current climate of education, clinical practice includes: (1) traditional undergraduates in an educator preparation program, (2) post-baccalaureate individuals who have a degree in another…

This study explores gender-based differences in sixth-grade students' potential for mathematical creativity through the interrelated processes of problem solving (PS) and problem posing (PP), grounded in a multidimensional framework of creativity--encompassing fluency, flexibility, and originality. A total of 346 sixth graders from public schools…

A Spatial Reasoning Mathematics Program (SRMP) was implemented over 20 weeks with 28 mathematically-able 4th-graders as the second phase of a classroom design study. The SRMP embedded transformation skills in 28 interrelated mathematical tasks comprising 2-D/3-D relationships, geometric growing patterns and sequences, directionality, area and…

This report details a set of three tasks used in an exploratory study of pre-service teachers' (PSTs) experiences of task design for the mathematics classroom. The three tasks, which I call the "Orange Dot Tasks," were constructed in Desmos, a dynamic geometry environment (DGE), and participants engaged each task through manipulating…

Background/purpose: The teaching of integral calculus has become increasingly important in higher education due to its role in the development of advanced mathematical thinking. In this context, the definite integral is recognised as a complex mathematical object with multiple interpretations. The present article aims to systematically review the…

In this theoretical article, we propose a conceptualisation of noticing, drawing on our enactivist perspective, which takes account of what is now known about human cognition, and from which we draw out implications for how noticing develops. We review past work on mathematics teacher noticing and note the dominance of a paradigm of taking…

The concept of mathematical modelling is an integral part of modern school mathematics curricula. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the mathematical modelling attitude between Malaysian and United Arab Emirates (UAE) teachers. We conducted a cross-sectional survey study with 413 Malaysian and UAE mathematics teachers as the sample for the…
