This monograph provides in-depth mathematical logic as the foundational rationale for the novel and innovative online instructional methodology called the 4A Metric Algorithm. The 4A Metric has been designed to address and meet the meta-competency-based education challenges faced by 21st century students who must now adapt to and learn in a…

This is a descriptive research on the difficulties of Filipino high school students in translating algebraic word problems into mathematical equations. This research is composed of three parts: (1) development of an 11-page "Filipinized" questionnaire; (2) analysis of the mathematical thinking processes of the respondents based on the answers to…

This study investigated students' activating positive affective experiences in mathematics lessons, their antecedents, their cognitive and motivational consequences, as well as their effect on achievement. The participants were 682 Grade 8 and 9 students from 37 classes from Germany and Switzerland who participated in a video study of lessons on…

An account is made of the relationship between the convergence behaviour of a sequence and the accumulation points of the underlying set of the sequence. The aim is to provide students with opportunities to contrast two types of mathematical entities through their commonalities and differences in structure. The more set-oriented perspective that…

Great care must be taken when making the jump from the finite to the infinite. The concept of infinity is explored through a series of examples from infinite sequences, presenting potential contradictions that could occur from a natural extension of finding the fraction form of a repeating decimal.
