Students' difficulties in differentiating the direct proportion and inverse proportion problems cause interference. Proactive interference is the error that occurs when old information (concept of direct proportion) interferes with new information (concept of inverse proportion). In solving the problem of inverse proportion, students often use the…

This study aims to describe students' commognitive in solving algebraic problems. This research is a qualitative research with descriptive approach. The subjects of this research were fifth semester students of the mathematics education study program at the College of Taman Siswa Teacher Training and Education. The research subjects were 9…

Students' understanding of negative integers is an important aspect of learning mathematics as it is a requirement for learning broader mathematical concepts. The purpose of this research is to explore students' initial perceptions in understanding negative integers on a number line. This descriptive exploratory qualitative research was conducted…

The present study falls into the efforts to improve practices for addressing errors produced by learners in various situations involving the calculation of integrals. We attempt to clarify as precisely as possible the types of errors that secondary school students produce when using integrals in algebraic and graphical frames. Based on the…

Students' experience errors in solving proportional problems and prospective teachers' experience were the same thing. Research that explained the wrong strategy for understanding proportional problems still needed to be completed. Objectives to describe the wrong strategies chosen by prospective teachers in solving proportional questions and the…

The issue of students' difficulties in solving context-based mathematics problems has been extensively investigated by numerous studies. However, limited study focus on how pre-service primary school teacher (PSPSTs) encounter difficulties in solving context-based fundamental mathematics problems. To fill this gap, this study aims to investigate…

This study diagnoses and explores year eight students' misconceptions and mistakes in algebra. An in-depth exploration of students' misconceptions were carried out by conducting interviews based on the students' work as outlined in a cognitive map. Based on the cognitive maps, it can be seen that the students emphasize procedural knowledge rather…

Mathematics proficiency in the Philippines is a persistent concern, seen by many as a sign of an educational crisis. Teachers are responsible for improving learning outcomes in any discipline, including math. Thus, the study intended to conduct an error analysis of verbal problems among pre-service mathematics teachers. The researcher employed…

Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is an emerging and widely implemented remedial educational approach that is currently being piloted in many countries. Morocco has been experimenting with this approach since the 2022-2023 school year. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using the TARL approach as a remedial model in addressing…

Problem-solving is the essence of mathematics and is the main goal in learning mathematics. Many students did not have good problem-solving skills based on the field observations. The problems grew up because the students were not used to solving the problems and the problem-solving stages. They did not include issues with high complexity, such as…

How dyslexia students solve number operations is still challenging to unravel. This study aimed at revealing the types of errors conveyed by a dyslexic student in performing fractional operations on mathematical tasks that combined non-verbal text (symbols and pictures) and verbal text. The data were collected using a task-based interview with a…

Studies of errors in mathematics are essential for mathematics educators to design and contextualize a whole new instruction accordingly. Nonetheless, less attention has been given to the mathematical writing errors when compared to the mathematical conceptual and procedural errors. It is mainly because the former mistakes usually do not affect…

Thinking is a tool to construct knowledge in learning mathematics. However, some college students have not been fully aware of the importance of constructing their knowledge. Therefore, this study aims to explore students' thinking processes in completing mathematical proofs through assimilation and accommodation schemes. This research was…

The present study explored 285 11th-grade students' preconceptions, misconceptions, and errors in solving mathematics tasks by graphical method. A descriptive-explorative study design was adopted. Cluster sampling was used to select students from sampled secondary schools in eastern and central Uganda. Students' paper and pen solution sketches…
