The Structure of Students' Mathematical Errors in Solving Calculus Problems Based on Cognitive Style
In Hi. Abdullah; Hery Suharna; Mustafa AH. Ruhama – International Education Studies, 2024
The understanding mathematical concept is an error that often occurs in classroom learning among students when solving mathematical problems. The most difficult part for students is solving problems, because it requires numeracy skills, high concept mastery, as well as the ability to use good language, and so on so that students don't make any…

Anass El Guenyari; Mohamed Chergui; Bouazza El Wahbi – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
The present study falls into the efforts to improve practices for addressing errors produced by learners in various situations involving the calculation of integrals. We attempt to clarify as precisely as possible the types of errors that secondary school students produce when using integrals in algebraic and graphical frames. Based on the…

Topic Specificity of Students' Conceptual and Procedural Fraction Knowledge and Its Impact on Errors
Katja Lenz; Frank Reinhold; Gerald Wittmann – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
When learning about fractions, teaching usually follows certain topics -- e.g. part of the whole, fraction equivalence, and size comparison. Not yet answered is whether students' conceptual and procedural knowledge of fractions is coherent between those topics. To answer this question, we performed a latent profile analysis of data from N = 1005…

This article describes "Build It!--The Rectangle Game" task that uses the context of a game to develop mathematical generalizations based on strategy. The underlying mathematics in this game-based task is for students to discover factors and prime and composite numbers through 100. The playful use of "The Rectangle Game"…

Ipek Saralar-Aras; Abdullah Kurudirek – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2025
This study offers a comprehensive investigation of 14-15-year-old students' comprehension of non-Euclidean geometries, with a specific focus on the assessment of their understanding through a 15-itemed test. The primary objective of this research is to assess the current state of students' knowledge and proficiency in non-Euclidean geometries and…

El Mahdi Lamaizi; Larbi Zraoula; Bouazza El Wahbi – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Teaching at the Right Level (TaRL) is an emerging and widely implemented remedial educational approach that is currently being piloted in many countries. Morocco has been experimenting with this approach since the 2022-2023 school year. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of using the TARL approach as a remedial model in addressing…

Theodore M. Savich – ProQuest LLC, 2022
We need a critical mathematics. Our ability to enact social change through teaching mathematics and through critical research in mathematics education is severely limited by the canon of mathematical knowledge and the ideology that declares mathematical knowledge as certain. In this dissertation I extend Carspecken's critical action theory to…

Luz, Yael; Yerushalmy, Michal – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
We report on an innovative design of algorithmic analysis that supports automatic online assessment of students' exploration of geometry propositions in a dynamic geometry environment. We hypothesized that difficulties with and misuse of terms or logic in conjectures are rooted in the early exploration stages of inquiry. We developed a generic…

Samuel Kenney; Forster D. Ntow – SAGE Open, 2024
This article uses the concurrent mixed methods design to explore the errors made by 171 Grade Seven learners in algebraic problem-solving within the Assin Central Municipality in Ghana. The participants were categorized into low-achieving and high-achieving groups based on their performance in a pretest, to help provide a detailed examination of…

Rodríguez-Martínez, José Antonio; González-Calero, José Antonio; Olmo-Muñoz, Javier; Arnau, David; Tirado-Olivares, Sergio – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2023
This study analyses the potential of a learning analytics (LA) based formative assessment to construct personalised teaching sequences in Mathematics for 5th-grade primary school students. A total of 127 students from Spanish public schools participated in the study. The quasi-experimental study was conducted over the course of six sessions, in…

Rajiv Satsangi; Stephanie D. Sigmon – Remedial and Special Education, 2024
Whole number computations are a critical skill that serves as a foundation upon which higher-order concepts in mathematics are taught to children. To facilitate their instruction, educators often use multiple representations to support a child's cognition. Representations with physical manipulatives are widely studied through a graduated…

Cetin, Omer Faruk – Pedagogical Research, 2022
This research aimed to determine the difficulties that the students experience in inequality solutions that contain inequality in general and rational (proportional) expressions, and to solve these difficulties with an activity. Totally 108 students, who were enrolled in the Department of Mathematics and Science Education, consisted respectively…

Hu, Qintong; Son, Ji-Won; Hodge, Lynn – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
To improve students' mathematics achievement, their errors should be treated as an opportunity to stimulate conceptual and procedural understanding. Using a teaching scenario, this study investigated 40 high school teachers' analyses of and responses to a student error(s) in solving a quadratic equation by using the factoring method. The teachers'…

Özdemir, Ercan – Shanlax International Journal of Education, 2022
The present study investigates the understanding of the equals sign among middle school students. The study data were gathered from a total of 433 middle school students (111 in the fifth grade, 106 in the sixth grade, 95 in the seventh grade and 121 in the eighth grade) using a ten-item equals sign test developed by the researcher. The study…
