In this article, the authors introduce the "Pre-K-12 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education II (GAISE II): A Framework for Statistics and Data Science Education" report. This report, which was published by the American Statistical Association (ASA) and endorsed by the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics…

The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM 2014) takes a clear stance that each and every student should have rich experiences in mathematics classrooms. In 2015, the Every Student Succeeds Act noted that Universal Design for Learning (UDL) is an evidence-based, scientifically valid framework that fosters access to instruction for all…

This study aims to investigate the relationship between learning styles and the efficacy of routine and non-routine problem solving. It also compares these relationships with respect to routine and non-routine problem types. The study sample consisted of 356 eighth-grade students in four different schools. In this study, correlational and…

Using over 350 hours of observational data from district-level meetings, we investigate how leaders support their interpretations of problems and proposed solutions during closed-door negotiations around three policy decisions, and how they invoke race, class, and language in the process. District leaders primarily cite constraints from…

The aim of this research is to investigate how the utilisation of example-problem pairs affects the outcomes of mathematics students when compared to conventional teaching methods. Thus, a mixed method embedded design, with a main emphasis on a quasi-experiment with supplemental field notes, was conducted with 64 second intermediate grade school…

This article attempts to identify the kind of arguments that lower secondary school-level pupils use when they apply programming to solve a mathematical problem. By analyzing the data from one group of three pupils working together with Processing (Processing is a Java based tool primarily to learn programme visual effects supported and…

Many students struggle with proof writing. However, struggle is not universally bad: researchers have distinguished between productive and unproductive forms of struggle and have identified productive struggle as essential for learning mathematics. Yet, in practice, recognizing when learners are engaged in productive struggle or unproductive…

The purpose of this study was to analyze how the systematic use of GeoGebra influences the ways of reasoning of high school students when they incorporate it in the resolution of word problems. The study was carried out with a group of 20 students who were studying Mathematics I. The results show that the students appropriated resources from the…

In this paper, we extend our previous work on challenges teachers face when engaging with proportional reasoning contexts to investigate two contexts that included four problems for middle grades teachers to solve as well as eight student solutions. Analysis included coding for correct solving of the problem as well as making sense of and…

Mathematics teaching and learning goes beyond computations and procedures; it rather includes complex problem-solving and critical thinking. Kilpatrick, Swafford, and Findell (2001) identify five mathematical competencies that are present in mathematics learning: conceptual understanding, procedural fluency, adaptive reasoning, strategic…

Creativity is a task-specific construct that exhibits diverse characteristics depending on the context it operates in. Currently, there is little consensus on how creativity can be defined and taught within STEM education. In this study, mathematics teachers' beliefs about STEM creativity and their pedagogical approaches to teaching creativity…

Teachers are increasingly incorporating new learning materials into their classes: mobile apps, VR, and other results of humanity's digital development. The aim of the study was to compare the impact of the traditional approach to teaching mathematics and the use of MalMath application on the academic performance of students in terms of conceptual…

Culture shapes pupils' mathematical learning, their performances and life trajectories of participation (César, 2013a, 2013b). It also contributes to the senses they attribute to mathematical learning (Bakhtin, 1929/1981). Using collaborative work and interempowerment mechanisms facilitates knowledge appropriation (César, 2009). This is…

Fifteen pre-service mathematics teachers studying in a teachers college participated in a unique program entitled "From high-tech to teaching" as part of a specialization program for teaching advanced secondary school mathematics. During the course, they solved various mathematical problems and then were asked to pose additional problems…

This paper explores how learning analytics data provided by a math problem-solving educational technology platform informed 5th and 6th grade teachers' instructional decisions around socioemotional learning (SEL). MathSpring is an educational technology tool that provides teachers with data on students' effort, progress, and emotions while…
