Background: Problem-solving as a vehicle to develop independent thinking skills is mostly underestimated and is often either overlooked or not given adequate attention within the existing South African mathematics curriculum. Consequently, numerous learners often display limited skills or lack skills to adequately crack Mathematics problems by…

Many universities throughout the world apply student-centered approaches. Common to these is that projects, problems, challenges etc. stem from "real life". Mathematics is an effective tool to solve problems, but in this paper, we discuss how we reconcile the fact that mathematics is both a pure and an applied discipline with…

In this article, examples are shown to demonstrate how open-ended mathematical activities can be used in the classroom. Open-ended activities give students opportunities to apply their understanding in unfamiliar contexts without the pressure of finding one perfect solution.

The economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic is exposing more and more Australians to financial loss, hardship and poverty. Even primary-aged students may be privy to conversations about unemployment, business closures, household budgeting, and difficulties making ends meet. Mathematics is a powerful tool that can raise awareness of inequity…

This research is a quasi-experimental study with the following objectives: 1) To examine the effectiveness of cooperative learning activities using the TAI technique combined with activity-based learning on the topic of congruence for students at Roi Et Rajabhat University, aiming to achieve the 75/75 efficiency criterion. 2) To compare…

The ability of problem posing is very essential for the student's. However, there are still many students who don't realize the importance of these abilities. This research describes the senior high school student's ability in mathematical problem posing, especially in the material system of linear equations in three variables. Research data were…

The concept of determinant plays a central role in many linear algebra concepts and is also applied to other branches of mathematics and science. In this study, we focus on the application of determinant and inverse matrix concepts, in solving systems of equations by a group of 116 in-service mathematics teachers who were studying the topic at a…

This study aims to determine the mathematical connection ability of elementary school students in solving mathematical problems. This research uses the qualitative approach with descriptive method. We used observation, interview, and test to collect data. This study shows that 6.67% of the samples scored between 60 and 69 in the fair category. A…

In the current study, it is aimed to determine the activities that need to be done to eliminate the mistakes made by primary school fourth grade students in multiplication and division operations and to present solution suggestions for eliminating these mistakes. The study employed action research, one of the qualitative research methods. The…

In this study, the aim is to evaluate the problem-solving processes in the understanding of problems and to determine and provide strategies, demonstration, expression and problem-writing dimensions in a numerical analysis course for engineering students. The quantitative data and qualitative data were interpreted using exploratory sequential…

Bachelors and graduate students are offered in the course of teaching computational informatics, the ability to solve nonstandard mathematical problems, which, as a rule, are not included in the content of teaching computational informatics. The article aimed to analyze the application effectiveness of non-standard mathematical problems in the…

This research is motivated by the difficulty of students in expressing economic problems in verbal and linear program languages. It is important to develop a linear program teaching material through realistic mathematic education approach with problem solving strategies with national character. This study aims to describe the needs of students and…

Word problems are often used to assess numeracy, despite the growing number of reports on difficulties students encounter with this genre of mathematical problems. These reports contend that a large number of difficulties are influenced by the way the problems are presented, that is, with verbal representations of the problem situations. These…

The aim of this study is to improve the quality of the mathematics curricula in Saudi universities by investigating the required changes in mathematics curricula in order to satisfy the demands of the Saudi Vision 2030. The researcher used qualitative methods to answer the research questions by randomly selecting a sample composed of some faculty…

Mathematical literacy problems used in PISA consists of real life context. In order to solve the problems of these contexts, there are various mathematical processes that students have to pass through. These problems are intended to measure the various competencies that are intended to be taught to students. It is also important that the teachers…
