This study aims to determine the graphical literacy levels of middle school mathematics teachers. The participants of the study consisted of 33 middle school mathematics teachers working in different provinces. The data of the study were collected with the help of the graphical literacy test created by the researchers. The data were analyzed by…

The study reported in this paper is motivated by an article published on a financial portal that presented loan repayments with a continuous approach, as opposed to the discrete approach of addressing loan repayments applied in mathematics courses for economists. Using the Anthropological Theory of the Didactic, we analyse the current didactic…

The 1989 good old days' quote from the "Field of Dreams" by Kevin Costner that "If you build it, he or they will come" is no longer going to be attractive, especially in the field of mathematics education. One such challenging subject in the field of mathematics education is the teaching and learning of geometry. It is the aim…

Our study explores teaching practices that aim to promote students' learning to define an analytical object. A Calculus II instructor conducted a teaching experiment (TE) in which 11 students reinvented a formal definition of a limit over five class periods with the instructor's guidance. During the TE, the instructor's teaching practices were…

This study examines in-service mathematics teachers' problems on linear relationships that they posed in a semi-structured problem posing situation with a group and their ideas about the factors affecting the quality of the posed problems. Eight groups of 24 teachers participated in the study. Teachers' problems, written group work, and class…

In this study, I present how eight U.S. college calculus instructors with different patterns of inquiry practices used instructional situations to frame instructional tasks for introducing derivatives graphically to students. During four interviews, the instructors proposed up to eight tasks for introducing derivatives physically, graphically,…

We address a problem of promoting instructional transformation in early undergraduate mathematics courses, via an intervention incorporating novel digital resources ("techtivities"), in conjunction with a faculty learning community (FLC). The techtivities can serve as boundary objects, in order to bridge different communities to which…

This study utilizes the Cartesian Connection and the action, process, object, and schema (APOS) theory to investigate how preservice mathematics teachers constructed and justified graphs of two-variable inequalities. The analysis shows that most teachers were not equipped with the skills and knowledge that were prerequisites for action, process,…

The topic of inequalities is one of the fundamental subject areas for the development of mathematical knowledge. Although there is a considerable body of research focused on one-variable inequalities, studies that investigate students' performance on two-variable inequalities are scarce. With this in mind, the aim of this study is twofold: first,…

This study aims to describe how preservice secondary mathematics teachers (PSMTs) reason about different function representations. The study focuses on two PSMTs' reasonings across static and dynamic representations of functions. Sfard's (2008) Theory of Commognition guided our analysis. Findings indicate that while static representations restrict…

This paper provides a case study account of a preservice secondary mathematics teacher's thinking while engaging in slope tasks using dynagraphs. The data included audio recordings and screen captures of a small group of preservice teachers engaging with these tasks, with our analysis focusing on the case of Robin. Despite familiarity using slope…

Teachers' ability to accurately judge difficulties of mathematical tasks is an essential aspect of their diagnostic competencies. Although research has suggested that pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) is positively correlated with the accuracy of diagnostic judgments, experimental studies have not been conducted to investigate how PCK affects…

This timely book provides support for secondary mathematics teachers learning how to enact high-quality, equitable math instruction with dynamic, mathematics-specific technologies. Using practical advice from their own work as well as from interviews with 23 exceptional technology-using math teachers, the authors develop a vision of teaching with…

Integrating biology and mathematics can potentially solve problems associated with students' inability to solve quantitative biology problems. To face this issue, we embarked on a project to develop biological and mathematical content-based comics for elementary school students. It would assist them in gaining early comfort with transdisciplinary…

This study investigated novice mathematics teachers participating in an online teacher education course focused on covariational reasoning and understanding the behavior of functions. The analysis centered on documenting the emergence of participants' sociomathematical norms for engaging in online asynchronous discussions. In this paper, we…
