In this article, the authors share two examples of student engagement in visible, mathematical thinking through a Chalk Talk within the four walls of the classroom, as well as the connected spaces of online learning. Five steps for facilitating the Chalk Talk are outlined, with descriptions of teacher moves for each step. The silent thinking…

This study aims to understand teachers' opinions toward a framework of affect-focused mathematics teaching and its use in real and virtual classrooms. The participants were 11 school teachers from diverse backgrounds (mostly teaching mathematics). Before the interview, the teachers viewed an introduction to the framework and the teaching materials…

Teachers are implementing flipped instruction in an increasing number of mathematics classes but the research base is not yet well developed on this topic. Many studies of flipped instruction in mathematics have involved a small number of classes utilizing flipped instruction being compared to classes with non-flipped instruction, but this study…

An university in Chile developed a Digital Learning Routes (DLR) for three elective courses in the area of mathematics: (1) limits, derivatives, and integrals; (2) probabilities and descriptive and inferential statistics; and (3) three-dimensional geometry. A DLR is a sequence of e-learning activities that seeks to enable learners to build…

Purpose: This study was done to compare the modes of teaching mathematics in higher education in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The three teaching methods were used as follow: before, during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. The three teaching methods are: (1) Normal on-campus face-to-face teaching and learning activity before the COVID-19…

Mathematics language routines (MLRs) are a form of ambitious multilingual mathematics instruction that can be used to engage students in rigorous mathematical thinking while supporting English language and literacy development. MLR Co-Craft Questions allows students to get inside of the context of a problem before solving it, without feeling the…

The purpose of this action research was to explore mathematics teachers' current practices and perceptions of technology integration, as well as the factors that influence their perceptions of technology integration. Across the country, states have partnered with federal efforts, taking an active role in building a technology-rich learning…

This paper explores the affordances of mobile learning in developing frameworks for discourse analysis. Specifically, this paper examines the commognitive analysis of classroom discourses in virtual learning environments (VLEs) and how it resolves the challenges of discourse analysis in face-to-face (F2F) settings. With the ongoing social turn of…

The present study investigated the impact of COVID-19 on middle level females enrolled in algebra in face-to-face instruction or virtual instruction during the 2020-2021 school year. The study analyzed the data from the required summative assessment for algebra students mandated by South Carolina Department of Education. Districts had flexibility…

Owing to an exponential increase in the number of courses offered online, it is crucial to understand this mode of delivery on a deeper level. In this study, associations among course performance, the use of online resources (i.e., online homework assistance, practice questions and practice tests), mode of delivery (online versus in-person), and…

We analyze here the online and face-to-face teaching of mathematics and statistics at the university level and compare the results of students from two courses of applied mathematics. We examine the influence of online teaching on the performance of students with the help of grades from five consecutive years. A questionnaire on satisfaction with…

Purpose: This study aimed to explore students' higher-order thinking skills development when they engaged in pattern blocks learning activities using Blended Learning Classroom teaching approaches through the Thailand Lesson Study Incorporated Open Approach model. Design/methodology/approach: The researchers utilized a multiple case research…

This inquiry examined the pedagogical practices in mathematics of elementary teachers (N = 27) who had been identified as experienced and successful and were working in an urban school district with underserved student populations. Also investigated were relationships between their instructional practices and other elements of proficient teaching…

Despite the benefits of teaching computational thinking (CT) and applying coding tools in schools, many teachers feel unprepared to use these technologies. Hence, we introduced CT concepts and coding tools to pre-service teachers (n=36; 17 in online class and 19 in in-person class), equipping them with digital competencies through activities with…

This classroom-based action research aimed to determine the applicability of implementing Collaborative Learning in online setting to help students develop their interaction with one another and improve their academic performance. Participants of the study consisted of Grade 8 intact pilot section of a public school in an urban community which…
