This survey-based study examined how the intensity of the beliefs of novice in-service teachers about reform-based mathematics instruction changed as they crossed the threshold into their first year of teaching. It also investigated the relationship between the influence of new mentors, or "transitional faculty," including mentor…

Understanding randomness is essential for modern life, as it underpins decisions under uncertainty. It is also an essential part of both the mathematics and science curricula in schools. Yet, research has shown that many people consider randomness difficult to perceive and argue about, with a number of different and contradictory views on the…

This work explores the complex cognitive processes students engage in when addressing contextual tasks requiring linear and exponential models. Grounded within Piagetian constructivism and the Knowledge in Pieces (KiP) epistemological perspective (diSessa, 1993, 2018), this empirical study in a clinical setting develops a Microgenetic Learning…

Blended Learning has gained significant attention for its potential to enhance student achievement. However, its implementation in secondary education, especially in developing countries like Ethiopia, faces barriers such as infrastructure limitations, pedagogical challenges, and socio-economic factors. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of a…

This study examines prospective elementary teachers' growth and development of competencies, conceptions, and perceptions of mathematical modelling in a mathematics content course for elementary teachers. A series of lessons were implemented that engaged students in the modelling process through modelling tasks. The goal was to capture prospective…

In 2010 a mathematics curriculum was introduced in Irish second level schools entitled 'Project Maths' (PM). It aimed to refocus second level mathematics teaching and learning away from an over emphasis on procedural mathematics towards problem solving and real understanding [Department of Education and Skills (DES). (2010). "Report of the…

This article analyzes teachers' perceptions and experiences using an educative curriculum designed to promote high levels of mathematical discourse. After participating in 2 days of professional learning, grade 3 teachers implemented a predifferentiated and enriched mathematics unit in their classroom. The curriculum was designed to be educative,…

Across the world, standards and practices for preparing teachers of mathematics emphasize the importance of math modeling (MM) in developing students' mathematical thinking. The aim of this research study was to develop the Mathematical Modeling Knowledge Scale (MAMKS), capable of determining preservice teachers' (PSTs') knowledge of MM. The study…

To address the challenge of low academic results in mathematics the district adopted a new curriculum. After three years of utilizing a problem-based learning mathematics curriculum resource, there is a varied degree of utilization and teacher buy-in with regards to a district implemented problem-based curriculum. During this time, there has been…

Many students who take a mathematics course as part of their post-secondary education are not enrolled in a mathematically-intensive degree program. This poses a challenge to mathematics departments that, for example, value and privilege more traditional mathematics curriculum: should students in such courses be taught differently than those in…

This study offers a comprehensive investigation of 14-15-year-old students' comprehension of non-Euclidean geometries, with a specific focus on the assessment of their understanding through a 15-itemed test. The primary objective of this research is to assess the current state of students' knowledge and proficiency in non-Euclidean geometries and…

The objective of this research is to identify the effectiveness of the GeoGebra program in developing academic achievement and ensuring survival of the learning impact of the mathematics among female secondary stage students. To achieve this objective, an experimental approach was applied. This consisted of a quasi-experimental design comprising…

The effect of symbolic form model on students' interest in logic content of the mathematics curriculum was investigated in this study. The research was guided by three research questions and three hypotheses. The study used a quasi-experimental design. The population of this research was 2,342 SS2 learners in Enugu State, Nigeria. A sample of 172…

Mathematical modelling has been included in many mathematics curricula worldwide, and China's curricula are no exception. The development of modelling competencies has recently been listed among the Chinese mathematics curriculum's six key objectives. However, the manner in which nationwide learning and teaching of modelling should be conducted…

This study is an attempt to design and develop as well as validate sets of Online Instructional Materials in Mathematics VI at selected elementary schools in DCS, Manila, specifically, focused on the study of Geometry and Measurement. Using both documentary analysis and descriptive method of study, two (2) major groups of respondents were chosen…
