Hans Bila; Kgaladi Maphutha; Paul Mutodi – Pythagoras, 2024
In this article, we explored Grade 11 learners' algebraic and geometric connections when solving Euclidean geometry riders. A qualitative interpretive case study design was followed. Thirty Grade 11 learners from a non-fee-paying secondary school in the Capricorn North district of South Africa were conveniently sampled to participate in this…

Victor Oxman; Moshe Stupel – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
We present an investigation of the infinite sequences of numbers formed by calculating the pairwise averages of three given numbers. The problem has an interesting geometric interpretation related to the sequence of triangles with equal perimeters which tend to an equilateral triangle. Investigative activities of the problem are carried out in…

Gilbert Kereng Pule; Khensane Mkhabela; Amokelo Given Maweya – Journal of Inquiry Based Activities, 2025
This qualitative case study, grounded within the interpretive paradigm, analyzed the errors and misconceptions made by 11th-grade learners when tackling the tangent-chord theorem task in Euclidean geometry. Studying Euclidean geometry helps learners develop critical thinking skills, such as constructing arguments and applying logical reasoning.…

Using the History of Mathematics as a Methodological Strategy to Understand Gaspar Nicolas' "Errors"
Teresa Costa Clain; Josip Slisko – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2025
Two problems, both from Gaspar Nicolas' "Tratado da Prática d'Arismética", published in 1519 are considered in this study. The tasks were carried out using pencil, paper and students from Portuguese schools. The aim was to explore the following students' performances: 1. The students were able to recognize the "error",…

Kehinde Jegede – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Numerous studies (Anwar et al., 2016; Carpenter et al., 1980; Huang & Witz, 2013; Outhred & Mitchelmore, 1996; Machaba, 2016; Van de Walle, Karp & Bay-Williams, 2014; Winarti et al., 2012) have shown that students need help understanding the concept of area and perimeter. This study aimed to investigate what students know about finding…

Bal, Ayten Pinar; Doganay, Ahmet – Educational Policy Analysis and Strategic Research, 2022
We examined how high school students use their cognitive and metacognitive skills in the geometry problem-solving process. This research employed a mixed-methods descriptive sequential design. Data were collected in the 2019-2020 academic year at secondary education institutions in the central districts of Adana, Türkiye. Using stratified…

Farida Jamil, Anis; Siswono, Tatag Yuli Eko; Setianingsih, Rini – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2023
The current research trend of metacognitive regulation has shifted from an individual to a social context. One such social context is collaborative problem-solving. Interaction between group members is an essential factor in completing collaborative problems. Metacognitive regulation is divided into four forms based on the interaction in…

Liu, Changyun; Zhang, Dake; Pandolpho, Max; Yi, Julia – Assessment for Effective Intervention, 2023
This study investigated the effectiveness of four Digitalized Interactive Components (DICs) designed based on cognitive principles to accommodate individual differences among students with learning difficulties in geometry during computer-based assessments. The four DICs were annotations (allowing students to make notes on the screen), pop-up…

Kotaro Komatsu; Shogo Murata; Andreas J. Stylianides; Gabriel J. Stylianides – Cognition and Instruction, 2024
"Assumptions" play a fundamental role in disciplinary mathematical practice, especially concerning the relativity of truth. However, much is still unclear about ways to help students recognize key aspects of this role. In this paper, we propose a set of principles for task design to introduce students to the role of assumptions in…

Ahu Canogullari; Ayhan Kursat Erbas – Interactive Learning Environments, 2024
Technological mediums such as dynamic environments with drag-and-drop features have been considered promising agents in helping students explore and generate conjectures about mathematical concepts. This study investigated the dragging modalities sixth and seventh-grade students use in solving proportional problems in a dynamic geometry…

Sudarsono; Kartono; Mulyono; Mariani, Scolastika – International Journal of Instruction, 2022
In STEM, learning skills and knowledge are learned simultaneously by students. Things that are different from the STEM aspect will require a connecting line that makes the four disciplines studied and applied simultaneously in learning. The utilization of local cultural characters in the STEM learning model is expected to provide solutions to the…
