Visualisation is a necessary ability for students' mathematical education. The appearance of multiple Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) has a stronger impact each day, and it raises many questions in the minds of researchers. In this paper, we present the findings of our exploratory case study in which a student preferring visual problem solving…

This paper presents research activity in the solution of geometric tasks by mathematics teachers and by mathematics teacher trainees at a College of Education as part of an advanced courses. This activity tested the level of knowledge and ability to apply it in the solution of problems that can be solved in a number of ways: by using various tools…

Current reforms in geometry seek to challenge prevailing ideas about "what it means to do mathematics" (p. 139) by engaging learners in "the grasping of space" (p. 241). This study takes up this challenge by investigating problematizing activity as an embodied phenomenon among 21 eighth-grade learners who engaged with spatial…

Analyzing and interpreting student thinking through written work is a key, often challenging, practice of teaching. It entails noticing students' mathematical thinking and drawing on mathematical knowledge for teaching. This study investigates how pre-service secondary teachers at the beginning of their preparation reason about students' written…

The purpose of these notes is to generalize and extend a challenging geometry problem from a mathematics competition. The notes also contain solution sketches pertaining to the problems discussed.

This lecture reports on aspects of a larger research programme focused on studying mental mathematics in elementary and secondary mathematics classrooms. It specifically addresses an unplanned aspect that became salient through the work conducted in these classrooms. In this research programme, mental mathematics sessions are designed on a variety…

Mobile eye-tracking research has provided evidence both on teachers' visual attention in relation to their intentions and on teachers' student-centred gaze patterns. However, the importance of a teacher's eye-movements when giving instructions is unexplored. In this study we used mobile eye-tracking to investigate six teachers' gaze patterns when…

Education currently only prioritizes mastery of scientific aspects and students' intelligence. Math problems are still related to fictitious general knowledge. For this reason, local wisdom-based learning is needed whose learning is packaged using objects, events, and various things that are close to students' lives to raise the local potential of…

Probability is generally considered one of the most challenging areas to teach in mathematics education due to its intricate nature. However, the simulation-based teaching method can increase students' accessibility significantly to the probability problems because it enables students to resolve the problems with minimal mathematical skills. By…

This paper aims at defining and exploring design principles in a distance technological setting for an educational activity for mathematics undergraduate students, devoted to the construction of basic concepts in general topology, the promotion of problem-solving processes, the development of metacognitive aspects, and, in general, the development…

This study investigated the impact of integrating design-technological activities on developing mathematical competencies among construction engineering students. A mixed methods approach compared curriculum delivery with and without digital tools across universities in Kazakhstan and Turkey. First, semi-structured interviews of faculty provided…

Educational institutions around the world have been integrating AI into their educational practices. Many studies and reports highlight both the advantages and disadvantages of this integration. This paper focuses on the positive aspects of AI in education, specifically through the lens of a high school geometry project at a technology-focused…

The home confinement that was imposed to reduce and control the spread of COVID-19 pandemic led educational systems to implement changes in many school activities. Teachers moved to remote teaching and relied on digital apps to present and discuss learning activities with their students. Likewise, they looked for new routes and means to follow up…

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…

Students' issues dealing with reflection tasks, especially with inclined mirror lines, are widely known. Previous research conducted with primary school students mainly focussed on task difficulty and students' outcomes, especially their errors of reflection. Little is known about which not obviously sustainable understanding of reflection leads…
