Today's math students must be able to problem-solve, reason, and communicate in math. That said, teachers on the elementary level must change their beliefs on how mathematics should be taught. Marzano (2003) stated that the classroom teacher is the single-most important factor in student learning. The second important factor in student learning is…

All schools worldwide are rapidly entering the remote education process due to the COVID-19 outbreak. In this process, the math teacher becomes a remote math teaching partner. The teacher's experience in the remote teaching process of this mathematics subject, which is a compulsory subject in all senior secondary schools. This study aimed to see…

In this study, we sought to understand what might be learned about preservice teachers' mathematics learner and mathematics educator identities in the context of a problem-solving focused mathematics content course. Twenty-two preservice teachers participated in this study as part of their undergraduate teacher preparation program. We implemented…

This study was conducted to characterize the effectiveness of employing video recordings as a teaching tool in mathematics in higher education, with a bid to minimize direct teacher-student interactions. The research employed an experimental design, utilizing pre-tests and post-tests with a sample of 45 randomly selected first- and second-year…

This research advocates for content integration and literacy-based practices in the world of reading and mathematics education, as well as the connection to outside sources that can either positively or negatively impact learning. More importantly, this research explored the connection to literacy and mathematics instruction as it pertains to…

Access to the college readiness curriculum has become a civil rights issue. Social class continues to impact those underrepresented on college campuses. This dissertation study aims to gain foundational knowledge that can be used to take action by developing recommendations that support a culture in which students from an economically…

The design of mathematical tasks has taken the replacement on the research agenda of Mathematics Education. In this article, we provide principles of design of interactive mathematical tasks that make up the reasoning and the Ethnomathematics program. The research context involved the design, the development, and the analysis of written and oral…

This study investigated the effect of teacher academic support, teacher-student relationship, and teacher achievement pressure on maths class engagement via maths self-efficacy. This study examined the relationships among these variables through four structural equation models and identified the model with the best fit. Data of 6,927 students from…

Socioeconomic attainment gaps in mathematical ability are evident before children begin school, and widen over time. Little is known about why early attainment gaps emerge. Two cross-sectional correlational studies were conducted in 2018-2019 with socioeconomically diverse preschoolers, to explore four factors that might explain why attainment…

Improving the ability to solve mathematical word problems is one of the most critical issues facing students with developmental disabilities, because it is directly related to their independent living skills. The purpose of this study was to propose a teaching model that implements augmented reality (AR) and video modeling (VM), and to validate…

In this dissertation, I K-8 mathematics teacher agency and learning within a research-practice partnership (RPP) context. I asked three primary research questions: (a) How is teacher agency enacted within the RPP?; (b) what do teachers perceive they are learning from their participation in the RPP?; and (c) how is teacher agency connected to…

According to the author, the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics (AC:M) requires primary school students to measure the attributes of angle, time, temperature, length, area, capacity and mass. This article outlines some misconceptions held by primary school students which appear to stem from them not understanding terminology concerning the…

The purpose of this article is to introduce a lesson fondly referred to as the 'Lego Shop' lesson. It stands out as not only the most engaging lesson we've conducted but is also highly adaptable to accommodate a diverse range of learners. Successfully implemented across all year levels, from Foundation to Year 6, this lesson has proven to be…

Mathematical Internet memes are examples of how the creative thrust characterising the Web 2.0 environment reaches the field of mathematics, translating mathematical statements into a new digital form endowed with an epistemic potential that is capable of initiating a process of mathematical argumentation. The research presented in this paper aims…

Inductive reasoning is used when generalizing from particular cases to a general theory. The purpose of this paper is to present some highlights in the history of the problem of induction through notes on a selection of writers from ancient Greece to modern times. These notes contribute to the argument that there is a fundamental problem with…
