Social justice in mathematics education remains a critical concern. Despite growing awareness, progress has been insufficient. Mathematics education plays a pivotal role in fostering social justice through creativity, critical thinking, innovation, and collaborative problem-solving. However, existing curriculum, teaching practices, and assessments…

This study aims to map the landscape of the importance of previous research on computational thinking (CT) in mathematics learning over the last decade. This research is a literature review research, there are 113 publications collected from the Scopus database which are then analyzed using the bibliometric analysis method assisted by the…

This research aims to analyze the results of studies conducted in Turkey on reasoning skills in mathematics teaching and to reveal what kind of trend there is in this field. Within the scope of this study, databases were searched with the keywords "reasoning"(muhakeme, akil yürütme) and "reasoning skill" (Muhakeme becerisi,…

In this analysis, the authors describe current approaches to assessing the effectiveness of math curricula and identify potential opportunities to further tailor effectiveness studies to the needs of the practitioners who rely on the research to make adoption decisions. Through analysis of 61 effectiveness studies, supplemented by expert…

The argument of this theoretical paper is that the existence and availability of suitable digital curriculum resources, accelerated by the recent pandemic, have required a revision of the pedagogical landscape in terms of ways in which students can be empowered to (co-)design their own curriculum trajectories. For this purpose, I argue, students…

This article reviews research on the achievement outcomes of elementary mathematics programs; 87 rigorous experimental studies evaluated 66 programs in grades K-5. Programs were organized in six categories. Particularly positive outcomes were found for tutoring programs (effect size [ES] = +0.20, k = 22). Positive outcomes were also seen in…

As part of their undergraduate mathematics curriculum, students at Brock University learn to create and use computer-based tools with dynamic, visual interfaces, called Exploratory Objects, developed for the purpose of conducting pure or applied mathematical investigations. A student's Development Process Model of creating and using an Exploratory…

This study is a literature review to investigate the effects of implementing technology into a high school mathematics classroom. Mathematics has a hierarchical structure in learning and it is essential that students get a firm understanding of mathematics early in education. Some students that miss beginning concepts may continue to struggle with…

The authors completed a narrative review of studies of mathematics interventions from 1996 to 2010 for helping elementary school students with difficulties in mathematics solve word problems. Key instructional components supported by research are teaching cognitive and metacognitive skills; schema-based instruction focusing on semantic analysis,…

The major objective of this conference was the continuation of the exchange of information on the improvement of pre-service and inservice methods courses and other program offerings in mathematics education. Topics highlighted included the effects of state mandated programs for teacher preparation, the growing shortage of qualified mathematics…

Mathematics curriculum and instruction for elementary students with learning and behavior problems are addressed. The article considers (1) best practices in assessment of both product and process to identify instructional needs; (2) determining an appropriate curriculum; and (3) designing an instructional program based on best practices.…

Lists proven approaches to enhance the teaching of mathematics. Ideas include (1) providing manipulative experiences; (2) planning enrichment activities; (3) reviewing constantly; (4) encouraging the use of calculators and computers; (5) striving to use encouragement instead of praise solely; (6) promoting creative thinking; and (7) minimizing the…

This study involved examining the nature and scope of numeracy, distilling out the important features, and representing these features in sample numeracy materials. The paper examines the precise nature of numeracy and its scope in enhancing the educational experiences of adult learners. It is intended to discuss the characteristics of the adult…

This paper reviews the presentation of problem solving and process aspects of mathematics in curriculum documents from Australia, UK, USA and Singapore. The place of problem solving in the documents is reviewed and contrasted, and illustrative problems from teachers' support materials are used to demonstrate how problem solving is now more often…

Though statistical literacy is an essential skill in modern society, students often approach statistics courses with apprehension and "mathophobia." Educators need to design and deliver statistics instruction so as to counter these anxieties and facilitate learning in concrete, experiential ways. This paper explores several key issues in…
