Mathematical Self-Efficacy of Middle School Students Solving the Rubik Cube
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Arizpe, Omar; Dwyer, Jerry; Stevens, Tara – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2009
A solution to the Rubik's Cube was introduced to an eighth grade mathematics class. The purpose of this study was to determine if an introduction to a solution to the Rubik's Cube could enhance students' problem-solving abilities, increase their general interest in mathematics, and enhance students' problem solving self-efficacy. Pre and Post…

Using Concept Maps to Assess the Effect of Graphing Calculators Use on Students' Concept Images of the Derivative at a Point
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Serhan, Derar – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2009
This study used concept maps to investigate the effect of using graphing calculators on students' understanding of the derivative at a point. The study looked for differences between the concept images that are held by students' who are using graphing calculators and the students who are not using them. Seventy one students enrolled in two…

Students' Perceptions about the Symbols, Letters and Signs in Algebra and How Do These Affect Their Learning of Algebra: A Case Study in a Government Girls Secondary School Karachi
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Samo, Mashooque Ali – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2009
Algebra uses symbols for generalizing arithmetic. These symbols have different meanings and interpretations in different situations. Students have different perceptions about these symbols, letters and signs. Despite the vast research by on the students' difficulties in understanding letters in Algebra, the overall image that emerges from the…

Preservice Teachers' Subject Matter Knowledge of Mathematics
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Menon, Ramakrishnan – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2009
Sixty four preservice teachers taking a mathematics methods class for middle schools were given 3 math problems: multiply a three digit number by a two digit number; divide a whole number by a fraction; and compare the volume of two cylinders made in different ways from the same rectangular sheet. They were to a) solve them, explaining their…
