This study examined students' views on geometry teaching via three-dimensional dynamic geometry software Cabri 3D. Teaching designed with Cabri 3D for solids volume measurement was implemented for 16 students in the eighth grade from a public secondary school in Turkey. The data obtained from the interviews with the students about the teaching,…

Art is a special tool for mathematics education. Many artists have used mathematics and geometry in their artworks. This study aims to examine M.C. Escher's drawings with creative drama in the light of transformation geometry. In this study, the explanatory sequential was chosen from the mixed-method designs. Quantitative data of the study were…

Although geometry is important and strongly related to our surroundings, students still have few chances to learn it through practicing in authentic contexts. Therefore, ubiquitous geometric (UG) APP in mobile devices was developed in this study and allowed students to apply and practice geometry in authentic contexts. This study focused on the…

This study explores the progression from student justification to generalization in the course of example-based reasoning. Data was collected through group interviews with high school students who were working collaboratively on a task of determining connections between perimeter and area of tile shaped patterns. The task called for making and…

Self-efficacy in mathematics is related to engagement, persistence, and academic performance. Prior research focused mostly on examining changes to students' self-efficacy across large time intervals (months or years), and paid less attention to changes at the level of lesson sequences. Knowledge of how self-efficacy changes during a sequence of…

Research in both the New Zealand and international contexts identifies the need for New Zealand classrooms to foster culturally responsive and mathematical practices that align with Påsifika students' cultural values, backgrounds, interests and experiences. The aim of this study was to investigate how the use of culturally responsive tasks along…

For many decades, the amount of geometry curriculum worldwide has been cut, mathematics curricula have lacked diversity of geometrical phenomena, and geometry teaching has been reduced to a somewhat eclectic mix of activities. Recently, new trends have begun to counteract these tendencies by framing new curricula around fundamental ideas. The…

In this paper, we analyze two episodes from an inquiry-based didactical research; the complete analysis of our research data is still ongoing. By taking into consideration various developments from the history of the geometry of space-time, our general aim is to explore high school students' conceptions about measurement of length and time in…

Geometry is essential for mathematics learning given that it is strongly related to our surroundings; however, few studies concentrated on using geometry in our daily life, especially using mobile devices with their sensors. Thus, this study proposed one app, Ubiquitous Geometry (UG), and explored its effects on learning angles and polygons in…

From random interviews of mathematics teachers, the researchers are conscious that students have difficulties in solving problems regarding compound body volume measurement. The researchers found the main factor involved in the difficulties was incomplete spatial concepts. Augmented reality (AR), which is a kind of educational technology, has been…

Children can learn mathematics and sciences effectively even before being exposed to formal school curriculum if basic Mathematics and Sciences concepts are communicated to them early using activity oriented (Hands-on) method of teaching. Mathematics and Science are practical and activity oriented and can best be learnt through inquiry (Okebukola…

This compendium organizes information on the math and science projects sponsored by NCER and NCSER into two main sections: Mathematics and Science. Within each section, projects are sorted into chapters based on content area, grade level, and intended outcome. In determining the chapters, we considered the emerging college- and career-readiness…

The purpose of this research is to construct a conceptual framework for use in capturing students' unstable perception regarding the establishment of the universality of propositions through experimentation/measurement in school geometry. As a conceptual framework, this research uses a quadrangular-pyramid model comprised of five representative…

This paper examines students' self-motivation in mathematics learning between girls and boys using secondary analysis of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) conducted in 2003 by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA) involving eighth graders. Components of self-motivation include…

The National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) provides data about what children know and can do with the goal of using this information to improve education. This book contains interpretive reports based on results from the mathematics assessments conducted by the NAEP regarding: (1) the cognitive performance of students at grades 4, 8,…
