The extent to which differences were present for African American girls as a function of their economic status in their performance on the Texas state-mandated Algebra I End-of-Course exam was examined. Specifically addressed was the extent to which African American girls differed in their performance on three Grade Level performance standards:…

This article examines the impact of Teach for America (TFA) on following-year student test and nontest outcomes in Miami-Dade County Public Schools. Using data from 2010 through 2021, this article measures the extent to which student exposure to TFA is followed by improved outcomes in the future, relative to students with other early-career…

The lack of support for equitable learning outcomes is a long-standing issue in mathematics education. As there has been significant attention from professional organizations to address issues of access and equity within mathematics education, there has been an emphasis on creating classrooms that are responsive to students' backgrounds,…

For institutions offering multiple sections of Calculus 1, course coordination allows for consistency among the sections through the reduction of variation of material and/or instructional approaches. Studies on course coordination have shown that a coordinated system can bring benefits to instructors and promote equality for students across…

This research brief explores the relationship between how students responded to a survey about their math experiences and mindsets and how they performed on an end-of-year state standardized math assessment. For this study, NORC partnered with a racially diverse school district in the northeastern region of the United States. Educators in the…

Motivated by a curriculum privileging number-based strategies but national tests highlighting students' reliance on standard algorithms, this study analyses 2,216 Danish Grade 3, 6 and 8 students' solutions to various multidigit arithmetic tasks, each designed to elicit shortcut strategies, against background variables including sex, ethnicity and…

This study evaluated the effectiveness of faithful use of Imagine Math, a computer adaptive math intervention for elementary students in grades three through five. To achieve this objective, the researcher compared the math achievement growth as measured by the NWEA MAP math assessments from fall 2021 to spring 2022 between the treatment group and…

Mathematics education research has been slow to adopt inclusive practices concerning Queer students. In this study, two doctoral dissertations highlight responsible research approaches to advance inclusivity. Ambiguous use of the terms "sex" and "gender" and using only binary statistical methods can lead to erroneous…

Integrating programming into education is perceived to provide students with a distinct perspective on learning. In addition to enhancing the appeal of studying, it provides students to delve into many educational subjects. Therefore, this research aims to examine the perceptions among mathematics educators at the elementary level regarding the…

Thanks to digital technology, methods for finding and analysing research literature have become dramatically more powerful over the last decades. Also, new bibliometric techniques have been developed and applied to the results of such literature search queries. The application of these bibliometric tools to mathematics education research, however,…

In this document, we search for and define an infinite limit of sequences that is correct and accepted by the mathematical experts, the final purpose of which is to analyze its phenomenology, in Freudenthal's sense. To make the choice, experts were consulted on two issues. The first one was not decisive because of the effect that the divergence…

Within a multitiered system of support (MTSS), students who struggle to learn mathematics often receive core instruction and supplemental intervention in different settings, with different teachers and different sets of curriculum materials, all of which can result in poor alignment. This curriculum crosswalk describes how three sets of materials…

This paper discusses a concept that we call "'m'-tile means," which are the arithmetic mean of data values that break a data set into "m"-1 equal parts. Studying "m"-tile means can engage students' critical thinking skills and demonstrate the concepts underlying commonly used measures of central tendency, and so they…

A professional development program in Salt Lake City aims to show math teachers what it's like to be in a math class oriented around discourse and inquiry. The effort, write Meghan Everette and Benjamin Shuldiner, is helping the teachers gain a sense efficacy in this critical but underutilized area of math instruction.

With COVID-19 continuing to make meeting face-to-face impossible, the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group/Groupe Canadien d'Étude en Didactique des Mathématiques (CMESG/GCEDM) executive decided that, for the first time, the CMESG/GCEDM meeting would be held virtually. By necessity, the program had to be much compressed with no topic…
