This paper presents the results of a systematic scoping literature review of higher education mathematics and statistics support (MSS) evaluation focusing on its impact on students. MSS is defined as any additional organised mathematical and/or statistical aid offered to higher education students outside of their regular programme of teaching by…

This study investigates the challenges faced by second-year undergraduate engineering students in understanding Stokes' theorem in vector calculus, focusing on the misconceptions found in interconnected concepts that form its foundation. Stokes' theorem involves the application of line integrals, surface integrals, the curl of a vector field, and…

Finding ways for students to use manipulatives in a safe, yet collaborative, manner is a challenge the 2020-2021 school year introduced. Teachers scrambled to create a set of manipulatives for individual use on a budget so students could learn from home, in hybrid environments, or in socially distanced classrooms. This article presents a…

In this study, we present a mathematical analysis distinguishing two conceptions of equivalence: "proportional equivalence" and "unit equivalence." These two conceptions have distinct meanings in relation to equivalent fractions: one is grounded in proportionality, while the other is grounded in equal wholes. We argue that (a)…

Getting the right answers in maths is only half the problem. Understanding why what you're doing works is the part that often stumps students and teachers alike. The essential guide for mathematics teachers and those training to teach, "Yes, but Why?" answers all your questions, and sheds light on the hidden connections between…

On the basis of a substantial, robust, and well-replicated cognitive science research literature, interleaving has been recommended across a range of professional pedagogical works as an evidence-based strategy for mathematics teachers. This report first notes the conflation of interleaving and spacing effects underpinning those recommendations…

Research has shown there are algebra concepts elementary teachers can introduce that help prepare elementary students for the eventual transition to algebra (e.g., the relational interpretation of the equal sign). "Early algebra" refers to the use of informal approaches to introduce such concepts to elementary students. "Strip…

Education 4.0 strongly promotes the development of communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity (4C) skills among students. Consequently, it is crucial for mathematics teachers to integrate activities that facilitate the cultivation of these skills. However, the scarcity of resources, such as recommended instructional…

Studies show that supporting argumentation in mathematics classrooms is challenging for teachers. This study reports on the experience of seven elementary and middle-school mathematics teachers in an afterschool classroom-based program where they had the opportunity to facilitate research sessions on students' development of mathematical ideas and…

This study describes the experiences of secondary-level mathematics teachers from the Department of Education of Puerto Rico implementing the strategy of contextualized teaching. Qualitative research framed in phenomenology was conducted, collecting data through semi-structured interviews and a review of normative documents from the Department of…

In the last decade, researchers have focused more on how to provide instructional supports for mathematics writing (Powell et al., 2017). In this synthesis, we examined 22 studies about mathematics writing to determine the overall mathematics-writing and mathematics outcomes of mathematics-writing instruction, the mathematics-writing and…

This study aims to identify teachers' selection/adoption of valuing pedagogy (VP) to implement an affect-focused mathematics teaching design with technological support. Valuing pedagogy is defined as teaching methods to address educational values and operationally defined as perceived, implemented, and received curricula, manifested by teacher…

This study aims to test the effectiveness of GeoGebra Augmented Reality in improving students' mathematical problem-solving skills. The method used is a quasi-experiment with a posttest-only control group design. The research population is students of the Mathematics Education Study Program at a private university in Indonesia, with a sample of 32…

This article examines how teachers at one elementary school made sense of their instructional practice after their school adopted a personalized learning platform for teaching mathematics. Data includes interviews (n = 21) with 12 teachers and administrators as well as recordings of 18 hours of professional learning sessions. The study…

Flipped learning has been recognized as a promising pedagogical model for methodological progress in educational environments. Studies have shown the effectiveness of flipped learning when used with appropriate educational technologies and learning strategies. On the other hand, comprehensive guidance is required to combine this pedagogical model…
