Jackson Pasini Mairing; Nini – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
Mathematics education in the Dayak Ngaju, Central Kalimantan community played an essential part in its inherent culture, including batik/carving/painting motifs. The moral messages embedded in these motifs serve as the philosophy of life for the Dayak Ngaju community. This study aimed to describe influence of implementing an ethnomathematics…

Chin, Sze Looi; Choy, Ban Heng; Leong, Yew Hoong – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2021
When mathematics teachers plan lessons, they interact with curriculum materials in various ways. In this paper, we draw on Brown's (2009) "Design Capacity for Enactment" framework to explore the practice of "adapting" curriculum materials in the case of a Singapore secondary mathematics teacher. Problems from the textbook used…

Leong, Yew Hoong; Toh, Tin Lam; Tay, Eng Guan; Quek, Khiok Seng; Dindyal, Jaguthsing – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
Against the backdrop of half a century of research in mathematics problem solving, Polya's last stage is especially conspicuous--by the scarcity of research on it! Much of the research focused on the first three stages (J.M. Francisco and C.A. Maher, "Conditions for promoting reasoning in problem solving: Insights from a longitudinal…
