There has been a notable number of respectable studies in mathematical creativity and its promotion in education with K-12 pupils. Nonetheless, when it comes to mathematics education in higher education, there is not a wide variety of studies. One can observe that the mathematics content in higher education is completely different from the K-12…

This research aims to describe the mathematical problems posed by prospective elementary school pre-service teachers in differentiated learning. This research uses a qualitative approach and uses problem-posing tasks and interviews as tools for collecting data. In the problem-posing task, information on learning conditions is provided, which…

By utilizing targeted professional learning and predifferentiated, tiered, and enriched mathematics curriculum, teachers gained an understanding of differentiation of content and the value of differentiating content for their students. They also reported a stronger understanding of how to differentiate content in the classroom. However, several…

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a philosophical and pedagogical approach addressing student diversity in the classroom, supporting student engagement in learning. There is, however, limited research into the application of DI in senior-secondary mathematics. This research reports on two mathematics teachers in two Australian states, using…

Mathematics concepts in early childhood education are often predictors later outcomes for student success, because mathematics is a foundational area of academics. The purpose of the research is to engage educators in conversations regarding experiential learning opportunities in early mathematics through curriculum planning and instructional…

This study sought to investigate in-service mathematics teachers' knowledge of differentiated instruction in junior high schools in Tano South Municipality of Ghana. The study adopted an explanatory sequential mixed method design. We employed a sample of 50 JHS mathematics teachers comprising 41 general in-service teachers and 9 special in-service…

To ensure that our students can compete in a global economy, successful teaching and learning of mathematics must become a priority within our schools. However, schools continue to track or group students by ability, which, in turn, systematically leaves students behind. Detracking will create a school system that provides both equity and…

Math proficiency in the elementary grades is one component to ensuring a highly qualified science, math, engineering, and technology workforce. The literature indicates that teachers of those early years greatly impact their students' future attitudes and abilities in the STEM fields. Therefore, it is critical that administrators, teacher…

Educative curricula, curriculum materials that intentionally foster teacher professional development, can serve as a site for teacher learning through their use in daily instructional practices. The present article introduces a framework, Teacher Learning Opportunities in Mathematics Curriculum Materials (TLO-Math), for designing and evaluating…
