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…

Background/purpose: The Computational Thinking ability has become a fundamental skill in the 21st century and has been integrated into educational curricula in various countries. For this curricular integration to be effective, it is essential that teachers are prepared to incorporate the development of this competency into their practices. In…

Teaching math is more than just numbers. It's about shaping future-ready students who are not only academically strong but thrive socially and emotionally. Research shows that learning both intrapersonal and interpersonal skills helps students academically, and teachers play a crucial role in providing social-emotional support. "The…

This study investigates the utilisation and perceptions of artificial intelligence (AI) applications among mathematics and science teachers in enhancing students' learning experience in mathematics classrooms. One prominent AI application this research seeks to explore, given its recent rise in popularity and usage, is ChatGPT. The study aims to…

This study aims to prepare statistics activity-targeting comprehension of the arithmetic mean, consisting of worked-out example explanations through ChatGPT for sixth graders; determine situations encountered during the implementation of the activity; ascertain the effect of the activity on students' mathematics problem-solving performance; and…

Identifying the knowledge resources teachers productively and unproductively draw upon can provide a means by which to create support structures to develop a more robust understanding of the content. To provide more informed grade-level support structures in teacher education programs, this study examined the knowledge resources 20 secondary…

Research shows that when students engage with mathematical inquiry their problem-solving skills are strengthened. Demands in the revised Australian curriculum raised problem-solving of new senior secondary mathematics assessment, specifically in Queensland Problem-solving and Modelling Tasks (PSMTs). The challenge for Queensland was to scale…

Problems presented in mathematics classrooms often focus on routine tasks with students practicing mathematical techniques demonstrated by the teacher. However, this does not reflect the problem-solving process in the real world, and students often find it difficult to connect school mathematics with authentic contexts. This paper discusses…

Introduction: This article aimed at digging deep into distractors used for mathematics multiple-choice items. The quality of distractors may be more important than their number and the stem in a multiple-choice question. Little attention is given to this aspect of item writing especially, mathematics multiple-choice questions. This article…

In this study, we explore the application of process mining techniques on assessment log data to explore problem-solving strategies in Algebra. By analyzing sequences of student activities, we demonstrate the significant potential of process mining in identifying problem-solving strategies that lead to successful and unsuccessful outcomes. Our…

The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of an online, multi-component intervention (video modeling, online mathematical games, self-monitoring checklists, and least to most prompting) in teaching mathematics skills to autistic secondary school students using a multiple probe design across skills. This study is unique from previous…

Students in grades 3-5 are undergoing significant cognitive growth and beginning to understand what fairness and equity mean in a diverse and interconnected world. "Modern Math Tasks to Provoke Transformational Thinking" presents carefully crafted tasks that nurture multi-disciplinary literacies, including ecological and cultural…

The purpose of this mixed methods study was to investigate the effect of a graphing calculator (GC) intervention on Grade 11 learners' achievement in quadratic inequality problem solving. The quantitative aspects of the study involved an experimental and control group design in which the experimental group received instruction using the GC…

Activities that play a significant role in mathematical thinking and problem-solving are mathematical problem posing. Scientific Approach with What-If-Not strategy (SA-WIN) is innovative learning that can improve the Mathematical Problem Posing Ability (MPPA) of students rather than Conventional Teaching (CT). This study aims to analyze the…

Ensuring a high quality of teaching mathematics to students is inextricably linked with teaching how to solve creative mathematical problems. These problems traditionally include tasks of high educational, developmental and diagnostic value. Teaching how to solve such problems allows training graduates with the highest level of the subject…
