Information and Communication Technology (ICT) offers the potential for changing mathematics education for both teachers and students. However, how ICT is used, and by whom, is critical to realizing this potential. This paper reports on an investigation of the use of ICT in the learning and teaching of mathematics in rural and urban primary…

Ell, Fiona; Meissel, Kane – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
This paper examines how a teacher-led cluster of rural schools used evidence of student achievement to improve the quality of learning opportunities for students in mathematics. The teachers began to collect evidence in order to promote constructive dialogue and stimulate action. An inquiry cycle provided feedback to schools through the cluster…

Thomas, Michael O. J.; Stewart, Sepideh – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
Many beginning university students struggle with the new approaches to mathematics that they find in their courses due to a shift in presentation of mathematical ideas, from a procedural approach to concept definitions and deductive derivations, and ideas building upon each other in quick succession. This paper highlights this struggle by…

As a result of a number of government reports, there have been numerous systemic changes in Indigenous education in Australia revolving around the importance of partnerships with the community. A forum with our local Dubbo community established the importance of working together and developed a model which placed the child in an ecological…

Beswick, Kim; Jones, Tammy – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
This article describes the implementation and outcomes, as perceived by the professional learning providers and school principals, of a professional learning (PL) model devised in response to recognition that models of PL that are effective in urban settings are not effective in rural and remote areas. Rather than expecting the teachers to travel…

Tait-McCutcheon, Sandi; Drake, Michael; Sherley, Brenda – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
This paper builds from a prior study into the teaching and learning of basic number facts in New Zealand. It reports the changes in practice of one teacher that were brought about by her reflection on the effectiveness of her teaching and learning programme. It details how this teacher created a process which helped make the learning of basic…

Eli, Jennifer A.; Mohr-Schroeder, Margaret J.; Lee, Carl W. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
Prospective teachers are expected to construct, emphasise, integrate, and make use of mathematical connections; in doing so, they acquire an understanding of mathematics that is fluid, supple, and interconnected ("Evitts Dissertation Abstracts International," 65(12), 4500, 2005). Given the importance of mathematical connection making, an…

Leong, Yew Hoong; Chick, Helen L. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
This paper examines the anecdotal claim of "Not enough time" made by teachers when expressing their struggle to cover a stipulated syllabus. The study focuses on the actual experiences of a teacher teaching mathematics to a Year 7 class in Singapore according to a designated time schedule. The demands of fulfilling multiple instructional goals…

Attard, Catherine – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
The levels of engagement in mathematics experienced by students during the middle years of schooling (Years 5 to 8 in New South Wales) has been of concern in Australia for some years. Lowered engagement in school has been attributed to factors such as inappropriate teaching strategies, curricula that is unchallenging and irrelevant, and cultural…

Goos, Merrilyn; Dole, Shelley; Geiger, Vince – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2011
In Australia, concerns about the quality of mathematics education that students experience are particularly salient in rural schools. These schools typically report great difficulty in attracting and retaining qualified teachers of mathematics. Teachers in non-metropolitan locations may also experience professional isolation if they have limited…

The following paper describes the development of an instrument designed to assess middle school students' interest in statistical literacy. The paper commences with a review of the literature as it relates to interest in this context and then proposes a theoretical model upon which the proposed instrument is based. The Rasch Rating Scale model is…

Piatek-Jimenez, Katrina – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2010
Mathematical statements involving both universal and existential quantifiers occur frequently in advanced mathematics. Despite their prevalence, mathematics students often have difficulties interpreting and proving quantified statements. Through task-based interviews, this study took a qualitative look at undergraduate mathematics students'…

Hackenberg, Amy – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2010
Developed from Noddings's (2002) care theory, von Glasersfeld's (1995) constructivism, and Ryan and Frederick's (1997) notion of subjective vitality, a mathematical caring relation (MCR) is a quality of interaction between a student and a mathematics teacher that conjoins affective and cognitive realms in the process of aiming for mathematical…
