While the importance of collaborative problem-solving has been highlighted as an important skill by the OECD (Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development), no specific model exists for mathematics facilitators to implement when engaging their students in group problem-solving. In this paper, we introduce the CoPs model for Collaborative…

Mathematics education is looking for innovative methods to foster problem-solving skills in students. This research develops a problem-solving assessment using GeoGebra Classroom, a versatile interactive mathematics software, to revolutionize mathematics formative assessment and improve students' problem-solving skills. This study adopted the…

The expectations gap -- the difference between the level at which high schools prepare students and the preparation colleges expect -- is believed to be accountable for hindering access to, and success in, higher education. It has been largely attributed to misalignment of priorities and lack of communication among policy makers and educators and…

Incremental rehearsal (IR) has consistently been shown to improve students' math fact retention and fluency (Maki et al., Journal of Behavioral Education 30:534-558, 2021). However, less is known about how intervention modifications may support longer-term skill maintenance. The purpose of this study was to compare traditional IR with a modified…

This study aimed to identify the means and reality of treating learning loss in mathematics at the intermediate stage. The study adopted a mixed methods approach and used the following tools: questionnaire, individual interviews, and collective interviews. There were 40 male and female teacher participants in the first stage and 25 teachers in the…

This research article is about "Introducing a Supportive Framework to Address Students' Misconceptions and Difficulties in Learning Mathematical proof techniques (MPT): A Case of Debark University". This study aims to develop, introduce, and implement a supportive framework to overcome students' misconceptions and difficulties in MPT.…

Impacts of rational number interventions among U.S. students in Grades 3 through 9 with mathematics difficulties are examined using a systematic review and meta-analysis. The primary goal of the meta-analysis was to identify instructional practices that are key drivers of student impacts. From approximately 1,200 published and unpublished study…

Many educators and professional organizations recommend Quantitative Reasoning as the best entrylevel postsecondary mathematics course for non-STEM majors. However, novice and veteran instructors who have no prior experience in teaching a QR course often express their ignorance of the content to choose for this course, the instruction to offer…

We present evidence of a secondary school teacher's Knowledge of Mathematics Teaching when she teaches linear equations in a word problem setting. We focus on analyzing the examples and mathematics support that she provides her students with during two classes. When faced with contingencies, she takes decisions whereby she adapts or creates…

This study addresses the need to better describe instructional strategies used by middle grades mathematics teachers. After coding 177 videos of grades 6-8 mathematics instruction for indications of effective instructional practices, we further analyzed 8 of the highly scored videos with specific attention to teachers' implementation of strategies…

The primary objective of this study was to systematically review the available research collected thus far on the effectiveness of math conversations in improving the mathematical proficiency of elementary students. Ninety studies were analyzed to determine what effect math conversations had on the number sense, conceptual understanding, and…

Arguably, the ability to generalize is an essential characteristic of students who succeed in mathematics and computer science. Teachers should be aware of its presence in their classroom and have tools to encourage its existence. Thus, it is important to examine the successful ways that generalization is taught. This systematic review examined…

Math-anxious people consistently underperform in math. The most widely accepted explanation for "why" this underperformance occurs is that math-anxious people experience heightened anxiety when faced with math, and this in-the-moment anxiety interferes with performance. Surprisingly, this explanation has not been tested directly. Here,…

Mathematics achievement of Indonesian students has not been relatively optimal whereby most of the students still have low mathematics achievement. Hence, the present study develops and produces a digital game called Ucing Sumput that is valid, practical, and effective in enhancing the mathematics achievement of Indonesian students. Research and…

Researchers have found that early math competencies are potent predictors of later student outcomes in math, reading, and executive functioning. This paper describes what early math instruction can look like and how some states have implemented evidence-backed strategies to teaching. Recommendations are given to State education leaders seeking to…
