Supply, Anne-Sophie; Vanluydt, Elien; Van Dooren, Wim; Onghena, Patrick – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Findings on children's proportional reasoning abilities strongly vary across studies. This might be due to the different contexts that can be used in proportional problems: fair-sharing, mixtures, and probability. A review of the scientific literature suggests that the context of proportional problems may not only impact the difficulty of the…

Dave, Neisarg; Bakes, Riley; Pursel, Barton; Giles, C. Lee – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2021
We investigate encoder-decoder GRU networks with attention mechanism for solving a diverse array of elementary math problems with mathematical symbolic structures. We quantitatively measure performances of recurrent models on a given question type using a test set of unseen problems with a binary scoring and partial credit system. From our…

Dilek Girit Yildiz; Esila Müftüoglu – Turkish Journal of Education, 2025
The aim of this study is to reveal and evaluate the attending and interpreting skills of student thinking of prospective teachers, as well as their instructional suggestions as responding skills. The current study was conducted with 29 prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) within a qualitative design in the context of probability. First, three…

Guinez, Flavio; Vasquez, Claudia; Brito, Camila; Martinez, Salome – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2021
This article presents the results of a study aimed at examining how primary school teachers' attitudes towards probability and its teaching are influenced by their use of an interactive story focused on sparking interest in probability and providing opportunities for learning this mathematical topic. A scale of attitudes towards probability and…

Akkurt, Yasemin Yilmaz; Durmus, Soner – Journal of Research and Advances in Mathematics Education, 2022
The aim of this paper is to review some studies conducted with different learning areas in which the schemes of different participants emerge. Also it is about to show how mathematical proofs are handled in these studies by considering Harel and Sowder's classification of proof schemes with specific examples. As a result, it was seen that the…

Ozyildirim-Gumus, Feride; Ozyildirim, Gulnar – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2020
Reflective thinking, problem solving and probabilistic thinking are important processes in mathematics education and considered to what extent those processes can be carried out by elementary school students is essential. The study is conducted with 188 eighth grade students. As a result, no significant difference is observed in reflective…

Francisco, John M. – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2022
Reform movements in mathematics education advocate that mathematical argumentation play a central role in all classrooms. However, research shows that mathematics teachers at all grade level find it challenging to support argumentation in mathematics classrooms. This study examines the role of teachers' mathematical knowledge in teachers' support…

Colindres, Carlos A. Mejía; Peters, Stephanie – Mathematics Teacher, 2019
According to the conceptual framework for K-grade 12 statistics education introduced in the 2007 Guidelines for Assessment and Instruction in Statistics Education (GAISE) report, students can be located at one of three developmental levels of statistical literacy: A, B, or C. These levels are independent of age and grade level, so, in theory,…

Al Farra, Nabil Kamal; Al Owais, Najla Sultan; Belbase, Shashidhar – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2022
The purpose of this study was to analyze the problem-solving techniques that students in a fifth-grade classroom applied while solving mathematical word problems. Fifth-grade students in a private school with Ministry of Education curricula in Al Ain, Abu Dhabi, were given a set of 15-word problems to solve with detailed justifications. The…

Rezat, Sebastian – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
One of the most prevalent features of digital mathematics textbooks, compared to traditional ones, is the provision of automated feedback on students' solutions. Since feedback is regarded as an important factor that influences learning, this is often seen as an affordance of digital mathematics textbooks. While there is a large body of mainly…

Shen, Zhuping – Mathematics Teacher, 2018
Finding intersections, unions, and complements of sets is an essential issue in elementary mathematics. It builds the foundation for set theory, probability, logic, and other topics. It is commonly recognized that drawing a Venn diagram, which was first introduced by the British philosopher and mathematician John Venn in 1881, is a classic and…

Prodromou, Theodosia; Kynigos, Chronis – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2022
This study focuses on pre-service teachers' experimentation with a game-modding process in a constructionist setting whilst they experimented with randomness embedded in wider socio-scientific issues that call for decision making under uncertainty. In this process, participants created 39 different game mods. Our observations of the participants…

Lukác, Stanislav; Gavala, Tadeáš – ICTE Journal, 2019
The probability is exceptional in the teaching of mathematics because students often have difficulties to understand the basic terms and the problem solving strategies. Understanding lacks of the probability concept and various types of misconceptions arise from the misleading intuition and misinterpretations of experience with the stochastic…

Malaspina, Martín; Malaspina, Uldarico – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2020
In this paper, we make a qualitative analysis of didactic experiments performed with five 6 to 10-year-old children and five primary school teachers, starting from a structured game with probabilistic elements. The fundamental idea is to stimulate probabilistic thinking not only by playing a card game with decision making in uncertain situations,…
