Students have different study habits from one another and from location to location. It is a crucial component of education since students' study practices have a big effect on their achievement in academics. Parents, educators, administrators, and members of the public are increasingly concerned about the poor level of mathematical comprehension…

This study aims to analyze possible connections among the noticing skills of pre-service mathematics teachers, and specifically the skills of attending to students' thinking, interpreting students' mathematical understanding, and proposing teaching alternatives. We characterized these connections in terms of coherency, i.e., the extent to which…

Knowledge required to teach mathematics at the university level is a current and relevant research topic in Mathematics Education. Thus, the case study presented in this article pertains to one mathematics lecturer whose knowledge is examined focusing on his delivery of a Multivariable Calculus course. The data required were gathered via classroom…

The purpose of this quantitative, quasi-experimental, nonequivalent comparison-group design was to determine if "How to Learn Math: for Students" (Boaler, 2018) had a statistically significant influence on eighth-grade students' mathematical anxiety and mathematical achievement. Participants included eighth-grade students (n = 28) in a…

Understanding young children's attitudes towards mathematics provides insights into their lived mathematical experiences. It has long been recognized that attitudes towards mathematics have a profound influence on mathematical achievement. Despite the considerable amount of research into students' attitudes toward mathematics, limited research has…

This paper reports lessons learnt following the pandemic, particularly the effect of key variables on learning mathematics in a context-specific blended learning environment, such as the availability and accessibility of technological resources and students' self-directed learning. The pandemic (COVID-19) caused unprecedented disruptions in…

Differentiated instruction (DI) is a philosophical and pedagogical approach addressing student diversity in the classroom, supporting student engagement in learning. There is, however, limited research into the application of DI in senior-secondary mathematics. This research reports on two mathematics teachers in two Australian states, using…

Context: Mathematics education remains a critical focus for national education improvement efforts, particularly in light of the learning loss due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2024, the average NAEP math score for eighth graders dropped by 8 points compared to 2019. Since 2022, scores have risen for higher-performing students in the 75th and 90th…

This edited volume explores how mathematics education is re/configured in relation to its past, present, and future when the rhetoric of critical global citizenship education is being applied to diverse local settings. Drawing upon diverse theoretical and methodological traditions across the globe including countries in South America, Asia,…

Scoring mathematics exam papers accurately is vital for fostering students' engagement and interest in the subject. Incorrect scoring practices can erode motivation and lead to the development of false self-confidence. Therefore, the implementation of appropriate scoring methods is essential for the success of mathematics education. This study…

One of the crucial fundamental mathematical skills for students is mathematical communication. This skill pertains to students' ability to convey the ideas and information they have acquired effectively. However, many students still have suboptimal mastery of this skill. Therefore, this study aims to develop worksheets based on realistic…

In England, there is currently heightened political interest in increasing mathematics attainment and maximizing post-16 participation. The latter is not merely an issue for upper secondary but requires a long-view of students' mathematical progress. This paper reports such a system-level overview of the mathematics education pipeline in England…

Research indicates that investigating phenomena, rather than reproducing facts, should be a core experience in the education of prospective mathematics teachers. Corresponding with its centrality to quality teacher education, there are multiple existing methodologies for analyzing the effects of investigation tasks on teachers' mathematical…

Academic emotions are not mutually exclusive, and students can experience various emotions simultaneously. We aimed at identifying distinct emotion profiles in mathematics in the lowest-ability tier in lower secondary school. Also, we investigated the patterns of change to students' mathematics emotion profiles in Grades 7 and 8, and whether an…

Word problems are frequently taught in shallow contexts, where students primarily use procedural knowledge to solve problems and struggle to transfer their learning to real-life situations. This study examines how extra-mathematical knowledge and motivation may enhance the learning process. The study involved 345 fifth-grade students (51.2% male)…
