Erdem, Emrullah; Gökkurt, Burçin; Soylu, Yasin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
This study aims to examine the strategies developed by 7th grade students while shading different percentages of geometric shapes. The study was carried out with 113 7th graders studying at a state middle school in a province of Turkey. The data were gathered using the Shading Percentage Test, which consisted of seven tasks. Data analysis employed…

Mikio Miyazaki; Taro Fujita; Koji Iwata; Keith Jones – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study focused on improving students' learning mathematical of proofs and proving by using combinations of proof strategies that span different levels of understanding of proof structure; we refer to these as 'level-spanning proof-production strategies'. We analysed the level-specific proof-production strategies evident in the lessons and…

Duong Huu Tong; Pham Sy Nam; Nguyen Thi Nga; Le Thai Bao Thien Trung; Tang Minh Dung; Bui Phuong Uyen; Nguyen Nguyen Chuong – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Coordinate geometry is an important part of mathematics. It helps students develop thinking, logic, and problem-solving skills. This study was conducted to test the effectiveness of the CORE learning model in promoting students' mathematical problem-solving skills when they learn the method of coordinates in a plane. Consequently, this study used…

Jose J. Jaramillo – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of my study was to determine the effectiveness of using dynamic geometry software while exploring the properties of quadrilaterals. Dynamic geometry software can be effective if used properly in the exploration process as students construct their own knowledge through constructivism. Students were given the Van Hiele Test as a pretest…

Lester A. C. Archer – Educational Research Quarterly, 2024
This study was an investigation of the use of manipulative materials in the mathematics classroom. The researcher guided students to create paper triangles, which were then used as a manipulative to calculate the sum of the interior angles of a triangle. On pre- and post-measures of quantitative data, although the data indicated a positive…

Uwurukundo, Marie Sagesse; Maniraho, Jean François; Tusiime Rwibasira, Michael – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
We implemented GeoGebra software in Rwandan secondary schools to check its effectiveness during teaching and learning geometry concepts. The quasi-experimental design was used, and four schools were purposefully selected. Two schools were from Northern Province, while the other two were selected from Kigali city. A geometry-based test composed of…

Mensah, Nana Boahen; Barton Odro, Emmanuel; Williams, Derek A. – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2023
Robust understanding of geometry is important for students' future studies in mathematical sciences, many careers, and for understanding the world around them. Therefore, the aim of this study was to understand the geometric thinking levels of 9th graders in Ghana before they enter the Senior High School. This study used the van Hiele theory (Van…

Sibongile Zulu; Deonarain Brijlall – Pythagoras, 2024
The narrative permeating higher education institutions globally is the intention to advance the quality of preservice mathematics teachers to gain better performance than mathematics school learners. In this article we report on a qualitative case study which explored the pedagogical content knowledge (PCK) of preservice teachers (PST) (n = 20) at…

Kwon, Yeil; Sahin, Nesrin – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
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…

Naufal, Muhammad Ammar; Abdullah, Abdul Halim; Osman, Sharifah; Abu, Mohd Salleh; Ihsan, Hisyam – International Journal of Instruction, 2021
Metacognition is the ability to think about thinking. One of the learning models in geometry is the van Hiele model, which consists of learning phases and geometry thinking level. However, geometry learning strategy in Indonesia does not stress metacognition and geometry thinking level. Hence, this study aims to examine the effectiveness of…

Ali Türkdogan – Online Submission, 2023
This study was carried out in order to determine how the 3rd grade students of the Department of Elementary Mathematics Education structured their "if and only if propositions". The data were obtained by examining the students' answers given to the midterm exam questions and discussing the solutions with the students in the classroom.…

Moosa Ali Abdullah Alhadi – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Geometry education is an important aspect of STEM education and career development, but it is often overlooked in K-12 education in the United States. Although there is some research on teaching geometry to students with learning difficulties at the elementary level, there is a lack of research on teaching advanced geometry skills at high school…

Kelsey E. Schenck; Doy Kim; Fangli Xia; Michael I. Swart; Candace Walkington; Mitchell J. Nathan – Grantee Submission, 2024
Access to body-based resources has been shown to augment cognitive processes, but not all movements equally aid reasoning. Interactive technologies, like dynamic geometry systems (DGS), potentially amplify the link between movement and geometric representation, thereby deepening students' understanding of geometric properties. This study…

Viola, Devon; Sabina, Lou L.; Smith, Amy – Journal of Research in Education, 2023
The purpose of this study is to explore the effectiveness of the parallel classroom model in comparison to a support facilitation model. Using district-level assessments in geometry, this study assessed student performance when students were taught the same content with the same rigor, where one classroom uses differentiation strategies and…
