Chelsey Legacy; Andrew Zieffler; V. N. Vimal Rao; Robert Delmas – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
As ideas from data science become more prevalent in secondary curricula, it is important to understand secondary teachers' content knowledge and reasoning about complex data structures and modern visualizations. The purpose of this case study is to explore how secondary teachers make sense of mappings between data and visualizations, especially…

Susan Boyd; Liza Bondurant; Annalise Johnson – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Building activities can be used any time in the school year in mathematics classes to promote problem solving, perseverance, and to develop students' spatial thinking. Spatial visualization skills are the "ability to mentally manipulate, rotate, twist, or invert a pictorially presented stimulus object." The authors were guided by the…

López, Silvia Soledad; Vivier, Laurent – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2023
Optimization is introduced to teaching in secondary school, focussing on functions of one variable with the first derivative criterion for critical points and monotonicity of functions. The second derivative criterion is also used to determine the nature of the critical points. Similarly, in university-level teaching, algebraic work using criteria…

Recep Aslaner; Aziz Ilhan – Pedagogical Research, 2024
GeoGebra is a dynamic software that is frequently used and of increasing importance in mathematics teaching processes in our digital age. Accordingly, in this study a new perspective has been brought to the proofs of the "two square difference identity" expressed for the square, which is a flat polygon, made with different approaches.…

Enrique Ortiz – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2023
This article presents an original puzzle that supports students' development of visual thinking and geometry ideas based on the Van Hiele levels of geometric thought. The "Triangle Puzzle" is one of many tools teachers can use to guide students' learning of geometry. The Van Hiele's theory provides a way to assess and support this…

Simpson, Amber; Zhong, Qiu; Maltese, Adam – Early Childhood Education Journal, 2023
Research studies support caregivers' involvement in children's mathematical journeys, as foundational to their cognitive development and academic success as mathematical learners. The purpose of this intrinsic case study was to understand how a caregiver initiated and/or continually engaged their child in spontaneous mathematical moments during a…

Destina Wahyu Winarti; Sitti Maesuri Patahuddin; Tom Lowrie – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2024
This study assessed the effectiveness of a spatialized mathematics intervention on the mathematical performance and spatial visualization skills of students from an underprivileged Indonesian community. Grade 8 students (N = 407) were assigned to one of twelve experimental classes, receiving the spatial mathematics intervention, or one of seven…

Kristyn Sartin – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
Integer operations are typically introduced in sixth grade, but they are a consistent area of struggle among these students. This struggle also inhibits their understanding of algebraic computations involving positive and negative terms. In this article, the author provides introductory tasks and models for adding and subtracting integers that can…

Rajendran Govender; Godfred Amevor – Pythagoras, 2025
Geometry learning has a long history with the connection to human cognitive development. The ability to mentally or physically orient 2D shapes or 3D objects in space is believed to support achievement in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. Thus, geometry by its description is characterised by space; hence its…

Julie Alderton; Gwen Ineson; Gina Donaldson; Tim Rowland; Chronoula Voutsina; Kirsty Wilson – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Finding opportunities for elementary preservice teachers to engage in mathematics for themselves and to collaborate in their enquiries was the focus of this study, carried out at two English Universities. Preservice teachers on 1-year postgraduate programmes engaged in shared mathematics enquiry, with a focus on growing patterns. We conducted…

a/p Perumal, Vani; Zamri, Sharifah Norul Akmar Syed – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Sciences, 2022
Ratios and proportions are new topics in the primary curriculum. Previous research shows that Year Five pupils have difficulty in learning ratio and proportion. This study aims to identify the conceptions of ratio and proportion of seven year five pupils. It is based on radical constructivism using qualitative case study. Data was collected…

Hamilton L. Hardison – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2024
A one-degree angle would certainly be difficult to draw accurately, especially without the aid of other tools like a protractor. However, mentally making a one-degree angle in visualized imagination is not only possible, but it is important for students' emergent understandings of angular measure. When students begin learning about length,…

Feyza Kurban; Hüseyin Bahadir Yanik – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
The study aims to define the processes of pre-service mathematics teachers in reaching spatial visualisation generalisations within the context of drawing surface nets of solids. Two theories, Polya's problem-solving steps and novice-to-expert problem-solving schemas, were used as reference frameworks to describe the participants' spatial…

Markle, Josh – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2022
Tentativeness is often framed as a deficit, synonymous with timidity or a lack of confidence. In this article, I situate the notion of tentativeness in an enactivist framework and describe its role as both a strategy and affordance in a spatial visualization exercise. Drawing on insights from mathematics education and ecological psychology, I…

Dinah Reuter; Frank Reinhold – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
The perception and manipulation of spatial information are essential for mathematical learning, and research highlights gender differences in spatial abilities. The present study contributes to the question of whether these differences are evident at earlier ages and how they interact with task complexity in mental rotation. We developed the…
