Julianna Washington; Candace Walkington; Taylor Darwin – Grantee Submission, 2024
In this chapter, we explore the use of Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) in geometry courses for teachers. There is increasing use of AR and VR technologies, such as AR and VR goggles, in K-12 schools, providing new opportunities for learners to interact with geometry in three-dimensional (3D) environments. These opportunities lead…

María J. Beltrán-Meneu; Rafael Ramírez-Uclés; Juan M. Ribera-Puchades; Angel Gutiérrez; Adela Jaime – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
We present a case study of proving by three 12-13-year-old students with different levels of mathematical giftedness. After analysing students' proofs, we conclude that: there was a relation on the consistency and the students' levels of mathematically giftedness, being the least consistent the student not mathematically gifted and the most…

Sevgi, Sevim; Orman, Feyzullah – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper, Harel and Sowder's proof schemes of taxonomy were applied for identifying eighth grade students' learning of proof and proofing. This study aimed to examine what kind of proof schemes are used in geometry and measurement learning areas and student's skills in giving proof and their opinions about proof. Qualitative methods were…

Dikla Polacco – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2025
This study examines the qualitative outcomes of a geometry intervention program implemented in 2023 in an Israeli elementary school for fifth- and sixth-grade students. The program was unique in its use of emotional support strategies in geometry instruction to improve students' mathematics achievement, reduce math anxiety, and increase their…

Elif Ertem Akbas; Lütfiye Yildirm – Online Submission, 2024
The fact that the mathematics course is abstract, that it is not possible to associate it with daily life, and that it is impossible to concretize abstract expressions causes a prejudice against the this course and leads to a decrease in the academic achievements of students. It is seen that throughout history, various studies have been carried…

Al Farra, Nabil Kamal; Al Owais, Najla Sultan; Belbase, Shashidhar – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
The purpose of this study was to analyze the problem-solving techniques that students in a fifth-grade classroom applied while solving mathematical word problems. Fifth-grade students in a private school with Ministry of Education curricula in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, were given a set of 15-word problems to solve with detailed justifications. The…

Mullins, Sara Brooke – Journal of Research in Education, 2020
The concept of angles is important for future geometric knowledge (Arslan et al., 2016; Moore, 2013; Yigit, 2014). However, although Piaget (1948) suggests angles lead to the discovery of lines, angles are typically taught later in schools, after points, lines, and planes (Charles, 2011). Therefore, the way in which angles are taught can affect…

Krajcevski, Milé; Sears, Ruthmae – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
In this paper, we demonstrate how atypical visual representations of a triangle, square or a parallelogram may hinder students' understanding of a median and altitude. We analyze responses and reasoning given by 16 preservice middle school teachers in a Geometry Connection class. Particularly, the data were garnered from three specific questions…

Martinovic, Dragana; Manizade, Agida G. – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
In our research, we focused on the design of assessment instruments for measuring teachers' mathematical knowledge for teaching geometry. Since 1987 when Lee Shulman conceptualized pedagogical content knowledge, different research groups have expanded on this construct and developed their own measurement instruments. The strengths and limitations…
