Tularam, Gurudeo A.; Machisella, Patrick – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2018
Traditional teaching approaches are generally teacher-directed, where students are taught in a manner that is conducive to sitting and listening. It is often argued that these approaches may not provide students with valuable learning skills, and rather that non-traditional approaches to teaching and learning might better endow students with such…

Kertil, Mahmut; Dede, Hande Gülbagci – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2022
This study investigates prospective secondary school mathematics teachers' developing conceptions about the meaning of derivative (as rate of change) while working on a series of tasks involving different non-motion real-life contexts. The study was conducted by employing a case study method. The participants of the study were 25 prospective…

Uygun, Tugba – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
The purpose of the current article is to test and revise the hypothetical learning trajectory designed for teaching quadrilaterals by reporting the classroom mathematical practices emerged in a social learning environment developing preservice middle school mathematics teachers' understanding of quadrilaterals. Ten preservice teachers participated…

Tunstall, Luke; Bossé, Michael J. – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2016
College algebra (a university freshman level algebra course) fulfills the quantitative literacy requirement of many college's general education programs and is a terminal course for most who take it. An online problem-based learning environment provides a unique means of engaging students in quantitative discussions and research. This article…

Richardson, Kerri; Schwartz, Catherine Stein; Reynolds, Anne – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2010
In this article we discuss an open-ended problem involving quadrilaterals that we continually offer each semester. The task has been posed to undergraduate and graduate students in methods and problem solving classes. The task involves drawing all possible four sided figures with corners at the dots. A four by four array of dots is included in the…

Leung, Allen – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2010
In this paper, a Hong Kong primary school lesson on area and perimeter is analysed with a perspective to discuss the meaning for students to have rich mathematical experiences and how pre-designed pedagogical tools could enrich mathematics classroom learning environment which promote re-shaping, shaping and even creation of mathematical knowledge.…
