One of the cultural outcomes of the Madurese community is the traditional "tanean lanjang" house with a long front yard, designed from several "batih" (nuclear) families, consisting of a married couple with unmarried children. This study explores geometric concepts of the traditional house to demonstrate how they can be useful…

Tangent lines are often first introduced to students in geometry during the study of circles. The topic may be repeatedly reintroduced to students in different contexts throughout their schooling, and often each reintroduction is accompanied by a new, nonequivalent definition of tangent lines. In calculus, tangent lines are again reintroduced to…

Mulla Sadra's philosophy has an ontological approach. However, his explicit texts or philosophical foundations in social issues such as education and especially the curriculum and its relationship with learning methods can be extracted. Mulla Sadra's different approach to learning has distinguished his educational system from other educational…

In this exploratory work, the discourse of first-year computer engineering undergraduate students of graph theory was analyzed with the aim of improving the teaching of this branch of mathematics. The theoretical framework used is the theory of commognition, specifically, we focus on commognitive conflicts because they are learning opportunities…

The development of Android-based mathematics learning media aligns with the advancements of Industrial Era 5.0. This study aims to develop an Android-based mathematics learning media on geometry that is contextually relevant to tourist destinations. The methodology employed was the ADDIE approach, comprising five phases: analysis, design,…

Concept-based teaching is presumably more effective than popular procedure-based instruction in helping students develop conceptual understanding, an important conceptual base for mathematics teaching reforms in many countries. This study examined the extent to which this assumption is true by controlling the influences of student socioeconomic…

Providing all students with equitable treatment and access has been a cornerstone of mathematics education reform (Association of Mathematics Teacher Educators, 2015; National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2014). Studies in mathematics classrooms show that using hands-on and interactive materials (i.e., "manipulatives") support…

We conducted a multimedia survey experiment with a nationally representative sample (n = 405) of secondary geometry teachers. Participants were shown storyboard depictions of instructional episodes and asked to rate the appropriateness of the (hypothetical) teacher's actions using a Likert-like response format. We analyzed participants responses…

Today math teachers can best reach their students and show them how math surrounds us by using manipulatives, children's literature, and GeoGebra while teaching mathematics. These are some of the best pedagogical practices for teaching mathematics today. In our high-tech world, students need to be proficient in science, technology, engineering,…

This study aims to examine changes in students' achievement in geometry, attitude towards geometry, and their self-efficacy perception of geometric knowledge while working on paper folding activities through an experimental research methodology. The sample for this experimental study was 108 ninth-grade high school students. The study's data were…

Grade 8 students were given a task that had pairs of shapes that had been transformed (i.e., preimages and images). Students were to identify which of the three rigid transformations--reflections, rotations, or translations--were used to map the preimage to the image. Students were also asked to give a justification for their choice of…

The recent increase in the number of mathematics museums has given rise to a need for tools with which to design and assess mathematics educational proposals in this non-formal context. This study proposes the use of the van Hiele model, a benchmark in mathematics instruction, for the design of interactive museum models focusing on mathematics…

The investigation at scale of the tensions that teachers need to manage when deciding to follow recommendations for practice has been hampered by the problem of occurrence: The conditions in which those decisions could be made need to occur during an observation in order for observers to document how teachers handle them. Simulations have been…

In the world where we always meet geometric constructions, it is a necessity to make sense of the objects belonging to these constructions. In this respect, this study aimed to examine the teaching of volume with the blending of the realistic mathematics education (RME) and GeoGebra. The study group consisted of 12 students attending lessons…

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…
