Most often, flipped classroom approaches in science and mathematics classrooms follow a traditional approach to teaching, where students receive direct instruction as homework and have to apply and deepen their knowledge in a follow-up lesson. Little is known about the arrangements of in-class and out-of-class phases fostering learning through…

This article describes how two high school algebra teachers and their students focused on examining population trends affected by the creation of a highway though a thriving African American community. The authors adopted Dr. Gholdy Muhammad's (2020) culturally and historically responsive literacy framework to guide their anti-racist mathematics…

How does language shape mathematical development? In this article, we consider this question by reviewing findings from cross-sectional and longitudinal research. In this literature, we find that differences in the structures of languages and individual variations in language ability are associated with mathematical performance in both obvious and…

To explain children's difficulties learning fraction arithmetic, Braithwaite et al. (2017) proposed FARRA, a theory of fraction arithmetic implemented as a computational model. The present study tested predictions of the theory in a new domain, decimal arithmetic, and investigated children's use of conceptual knowledge in that domain. Sixth and…

Research on teaching mathematics to children with autism spectrum disorder using parents as mediators is limited. The purpose of the present study was to carry out an initial evaluation of an adapted numeracy programme with three children with autism spectrum disorder from Arabic families in the UK by training and supporting their parents to…

Memorizing the multiplication table is a major challenge for elementary school students: there are many facts to memorize, and they are often similar to each other, which creates interference in memory. Here, we examined whether learning would improve if the degree of interference is reduced, and which memory processes are responsible for this…

This study aims to develop a learning model based on 4C skills to improve high school students' mathematical critical thinking skills. Research & development is the design used in this research by applying Plomp's development theory which consists of three phases, namely needs analysis, design and implementation, and evaluation. This research…

The aim of this research is to treat the shortcomings of teacher training programs in Saudi Arabia. Some of these programs are not able to fulfill the requirements of professional development because they neglect the impact of different interaction patterns (group and content--individual, content, and trainer--group, content, and trainer) within…

Processing speed is divided into general (including perceptual speed and decision speed) and specific processing speed (including reading fluency and arithmetic fluency). Despite several study findings reporting the association between processing speed and children's mathematical achievement, it is still unclear whether general or specific…

This article reports on the development of preservice teachers' knowledge, comfort, and beliefs about family engagement in elementary mathematics. Nine traditional undergraduate female participants, who were involved in the delivery of 21st century mathematics learning workshops for families, completed both a pre- and post-assessment consisting of…

The aim of the research is to identify the effectiveness of using a proposed strategy according to the (Marquqrd) model in the algebraic thinking skills of second-grade intermediate students in the schools of the General Directorate of Education in Babylon. To achieve the goal, the following null hypothesis was formulated: There are no…

Peer assessment is an underutilized tool in mathematics classrooms. We examined how peer assessment could be used in a mathematics course to improve mathematical communication and mathematical proficiency. To describe in what ways peer reviews compared to teacher reviews, we analyzed ratings and feedback of 32 6th graders and their mathematics…

This research is a developmental research aiming at developing a good mathematical test instrument using polytomous responses based on classical and modern theories. This research design uses the Plomp model, which consists of five stages, (1) preliminary investigation, (2) design, (3) realization/construction, (4) revision, and (5) implementation…

The present day school system curtails children's natural growth and interferes with their freedom to explore. It is here that teachers have an opportunity to engage meaningfully with the student community, and make them and society aware of the importance to explore and become self-determined and autonomous learners. Sustained engagement of…

Recognising the relevance of learning Geometry, and in particular 3D Geometry, this study aims to discuss the contributions that digital technology and paper and pencil approaches can bring to students' learning. We seek, therefore, to identify the differences between the two approaches, and specifically: What factors are relevant in one and the…
