Terence Mills – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Terence Mills introduces us to Keynsian probability and discusses its implications for teaching probability. The author considers it unlikely that Keynes's theory would replace how we teach probability, but argues that it may make us think more deeply about the use of terms such as chance and probability when used in our lessons.

Robert Santiago; Otis Williams; Jorge Zaragoza; Haiwen Chu; Monique Evans – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2025
All students want to talk about ideas that interest them, but often, multilingual learners are not offered high-challenge, high-support opportunities to connect everyday experiences to mathematical ideas. We describe a single class period that connects students' everyday opinions with two-way tables and notions of independence.

Chen, Lin-An; Kao, Chu-Lan Michael – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
The uniformly most accurate (UMA) is an important optimal approach in interval estimation, but the current literature often introduces it in a confusing way, rendering the learning, teaching and researching of UMA problematic. Two major aspects cause this confusion. First, UMA is often interpreted to maximize the accuracy of coverage, but in fact,…

Monika Post; Susanne Prediger – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
Multiple representations can enhance students' understanding of mathematical concepts and complex information but can also pose well-documented challenges for students. Whereas instructional designs have been optimized to support students' "learning" with multiple representations, little is known about supportive "teaching"…

Hem Chand Dayal; Sashi Sharma; Krishan Kumar – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
We report on findings from a study involving 15 secondary mathematics teachers from Fiji. The aim of the study is to describe teachers' current approaches to teaching probability and statistics; and to share their views on using game-based teaching approaches. We report briefly on the first stage of follow-up on one teacher who agreed to develop…

Rickel, Jessica; Szatrowski, Alisa; Rosemond, Charlie – Online Submission, 2023
Using Coarsened Exact Matching (CEM), this analysis examined the impact of Zearn Math across 7,116 matched pairs of students in 31 Louisiana parishes. Students who completed an average of 3+ Zearn Math lessons per week during the 2021-2022 school year were compared to similarly matched peers who completed less than 1 lesson per week. Findings…

Ayhan Kursat Erbas; Mehmet Fatih Ocal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
The purpose of this study was twofold. First, to explore middle and high school students' intuitively-based (mis)conceptions in probability, particularly availability and representativeness heuristics. Second, to investigate teachers' awareness of these intuitively-based (mis)conceptions and the effectiveness of their instructional practices to…

Meyer, Joerg – Teaching Statistics: An International Journal for Teachers, 2020
Some situations are presented with perplexing properties, which become clearer by looking at contingency tables. This in turn leads to problems that can be solved using conditional frequencies and thus leading to the Bayes formula with natural frequencies or probabilities.

Nievergelt, Yves – PRIMUS, 2022
This article provides conceptual ideas, data, and exercises, for integrating original sources of recent, state of the art, world-class life science research in the undergraduate mathematics curriculum and classroom. To this end, this article shows how one of the main goals of calculus in the life sciences, fitting parameters to data and assessing…

Stela-Marina Kostaki; Michalis Linardakis – Education and Information Technologies, 2025
The current study explores the preferences of primary school teachers on the characteristics of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT)-based teaching via Discrete Choice Models (DCM). These models analyze the preferences of teachers towards alternatives that are formed by different characteristics. In this study we examined the…

Research shows the salient place of mathematical teaching talk, including the mathematical-linguistic practices of naming and explaining, in the enactment of students' mathematical talk and learning with understanding in the classroom. Our study was developed to examine the noticing of two groups of secondary-school mathematics teachers in one-day…

Pinto, Alon; Cooper, Jason – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2023
Tertiary mathematics has a central place in teacher education, yet in recent years there is growing evidence that realizing its potential affordances in secondary mathematics teaching is far from trivial. Research suggests that utilizing tertiary mathematics in secondary teaching requires interweaving it with knowledge for teaching secondary…

Ishibashi, Ippo – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2022
Probability is a difficult concept, which is not always taught accurately. This study aims to clarify how experimental and theoretical probabilities are taught in Japanese 7th and 8th grades through a textbook analysis. We analyzed seven, government approved Japanese 7th and 8th grade textbooks each. Focusing on the definition and explanation of…

Ane Izagirre; Jon Anasagasti; Ainhoa Berciano – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
Probability literacy has gained importance in educational curricula. The aim of this research was to analyse secondary education teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching and to examine differences across the factors of gender, academic training, and work experience. From a positivist paradigm, a quantitative methodology was used.…

María del Mar López-Martín; María Burgos Navarro; Verónica Albanese – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2025
To ensure the learning of mathematics, teachers must be able to analyse their students' mathematical practices when solving tasks, interpret the difficulties that students encounter, and decide how to manage students' difficulties. This competence in didactic analysis and intervention allows teachers to adapt their teaching to meet individual…
