Mathematical problem solving takes on many different forms and has long been established in school curricula with the terms, problems and problem solving taking on varied meanings. This article proposes a way of engaging students in mathematical open inquiry using a video clip as stimulus. It discusses findings from a recent study conducted in a…

This paper investigates, using a case study methodology, the impact of formative video feedback on the educational experiences of early childhood and primary pre-service teachers (PST) completing a pedagogically focused mathematics education unit in a fully online mode. Given the trend over the past 10 years towards the delivery of university…

In this paper, we present data from a study exploring the use of coding to promote mathematical thinking. A teaching experiment was undertaken with 40 Year 2 students participating in six 45-minute lessons of coding (one lesson per week for six weeks). All lessons were video-recorded and analysed to determine students' mathematical thinking.…

Accessing children's feelings and attitudes towards mathematics is a challenging proposition since methods for data collection may be fraught in terms of bias and power relations. This article explores a method of collecting information from young students about their attitudes towards mathematics using iPads, and a video diary technique not…

Accessing children's feelings and attitudes towards mathematics is a challenging proposition since methods for data collection may be fraught in terms of bias and power relations. This paper explores a method using iPads and a video diary technique not dissimilar to the "Big Brother" room with which many children are familiar. We…
