The present research attempts to study, based on the heuristic framework of Polya, pre-service teachers' flexibility processes when they solve a mathematical problem with technology. The…

The purpose of this article is to present a design for additive manufacturing assignment focused on creativity rather than functionality and to analyze its results (N = 70) acquired during five years.

Research in mathematics education has overlooked creativity in mathematics, partially because of a lack of an accepted definition of mathematical creativity. The present study investigates elementary pre-service teachers' (PSTs') conceptions of creativity in teaching and learning mathematics. Data were collected using observations and…

Purpose: Many educators currently face challenges when trying to engage students in creative learning experiences online, where it can be particularly difficult to move beyond the transmissive approach typical of video lessons and webinars.
