Singer, Florence Mihaela; Sheffield, Linda Jensen; Leikin, Roza – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
Creativity and giftedness in mathematics education research are topics of an increased interest in the education community during recent years. This introductory paper to the special issue on Mathematical Creativity and Giftedness in Mathematics Education has a twofold purpose: to offer a brief historical perspective on the study of creativity and…

A Comparative Study on Brain Activity Associated with Solving Short Problems in Algebra and Geometry
Leikin, Mark; Waisman, Ilana; Shaul, Shelley; Leikin, Roza – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
This paper presents study that investigates brain activity (using ERP methodology) of male adolescents when solving short problems in algebra and geometry. The study design links mathematics education research with neuro-cognitive studies. We performed a comparative analysis of brain activity associated with the translation from visual to symbolic…

Leikin, Roza; Levav-Waynberg, Anat – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2007
This study is grounded in the theoretical position that solving problems in different ways creates mathematical connections when learning and teaching mathematics. It acknowledges the central role teachers play in providing students with learning opportunities, and it is based on the empirical finding that mathematics teachers are reluctant to…

Leikin, Roza; Koichu, Boris; Berman, Avi; Dinur, Sariga – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2017
This paper presents a part of a larger study, in which we asked "How are learning and teaching of mathematics at high level linked to students' general giftedness?" We consider asking questions, especially student-generated questions, as indicators of quality of instructional interactions. In the part of the study presented in this…

Waisman, Ilana; Leikin, Mark; Leikin, Roza – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
Mathematical processing associated with solving short geometry problems requiring logical inference was examined among students who differ in their levels of general giftedness (G) and excellence in mathematics (EM) using ERP research methodology. Sixty-seven male adolescents formed four major research groups designed according to various…

Leikin, Roza; Waisman, Ilana; Leikin, Mark – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2016
We asked: "What are the similarities and differences in mathematical processing associated with solving learning-based and insight-based problems?" To answer this question, the ERP research procedure was employed with 69 male adolescent subjects who solved specially designed insight-based and learning-based tests. Solutions of…
