Substantial research has explored the connection between children's spontaneous focusing on numerosity (SFON) and their current and later mathematical achievement. However, the findings have been inconsistent, and no comprehensive investigation has yet been conducted. This meta-analysis examines the relation between SFON and mathematics…

The ability to think mathematically critically is essential in learning as it helps students to think rationally in making decisions and formulating conclusions, as well as choosing the best option for themselves. In fact, PISA results in 2022 and TIMSS results in 2015 show that students' critical thinking skills are not optimum. Therefore, the…

Mathematics teaching and learning goes beyond computations and procedures; it rather includes complex problem-solving and critical thinking. Kilpatrick, Swafford, and Findell (2001) identify five mathematical competencies that are present in mathematics learning: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, adaptive reasoning, strategic…

Math self-competence beliefs, namely, math self-efficacy and math self-concept, are crucial factors in sustaining math learning. Since there is a lack of literature on interventions targeting math self-competence beliefs in middle school students, the aim of this systematic review is to provide a narrative synthesis of the characteristics of…

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…

In this systematic review, we examined the use of technology-based interventions to teach science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) skills to K-12 autistic students. Twenty peer-reviewed articles with 59 autistic participants, ages 5-21 and published between 2012 and 2021 were included. Studies used a variety of technology-based…

Elementary (5 [approximately] 11 years old) students with mathematics difficulties often struggle with word-problem solving. This systematic review and network meta-analysis aimed to examine the comparative effectiveness of various instructional strategies and their combinations for improving word-problem solving skills in this population. We…

This theoretical article examines the crucial role of play-based learning (PBL) in enhancing the mathematical skills of children in the Early Childhood Phase, referred to as Foundation Phase (Grade R-3) learners, within a South African context. The article argues that the traditional approach to teaching early childhood mathematics, where teachers…

Today, hundreds of studies on the technique known as Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) have been discovered. Numerous trials yielding contradicting results. The purpose of this meta-analysis is to ascertain the overall effect of RME and to examine the moderator variables in order to explore the consequences. The ERIC database, Sage…

There has been substantial research undertaken on the integration of computational thinking (CT) in K-12 mathematics education in recent years, particularly since 2018 when relevant systematic reviews were conducted on the topic. Many empirical studies in this area have yet to elaborate clearly and explicitly on how CT may support mathematics…

Writing and mathematics are essential in academic achievement. In the present study, we investigated whether writing skills and mathematics skills are related and if so, whether their relation is moderated by participants' grade level (a proxy for developmental phase), subskills of mathematics and writing skills, and assessment characteristics…

Mathematical creativity is among the most intriguing research fields in the world. This is plausible because research on mathematical creativity, particularly in the field of education, has a positive impact on many dimensions of life. Even though numerous studies have been conducted on this topic, there are still many aspects that have not been…

Poor numeracy skills among remedial pupils remained a critical issue for Malaysia to achieve educational goals. This systematic literature review identified research trends and evidence-based practices on teaching aids to enhance remedial mathematics instruction. The review followed PRISMA model through four phases, searching WoS and Scopus…

The objective of textbook study is to create high-quality textbooks. Analysis was done using a praxeological-didactical analysis (PDA) method. PDA offers space to analyze curriculum materials, such as math textbooks, which are the outcome of human action in the anthropology of a specific nation's society. There are 10 types of tasks given in the…

Computational thinking (CT) has acquired the status of a necessary 21st-century skill and is currently being introduced in school curricula around the world, despite a lack of consensus about what it entails. The aims of this review are to provide an overview of the existing literature on CT activities in primary mathematics education, and to…
