Simsek, Zulfiye Zeybek – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2020
This study focused on investigating the ability of 58 pre-service mathematics teachers (PSMTs) to construct-evaluate-refine mathematical conjectures and proofs. The PSMTs enrolled in a three-credit mathematics education course that offered various opportunities to engage with mathematical activities including constructing-evaluating-refining…

Lai, Mun Yee; Kinnear, Virginia; Fung, Chun Ip – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
This is a position paper in which we argue for "Teaching for Mathematising" as a pedagogy that supports teaching mathematics for understanding in primary school. Mathematics education in Australia currently emphasises teaching for mathematical understanding, a shift that redirects children's learning from merely memorising computation…

Kus, Mehtap – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2022
Measures of center have a central role in statistics education. There, however, is not much research on textbook analysis on measures of center, especially at the international level, which is crucial to keep up with the changes in a data-driven globalised world. This study aimed to investigate how selected school mathematics textbooks of…

Shahbari, Juhaina Awawdeh – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2017
The study investigates the mathematical and the pedagogical content knowledge among in-service and pre-service first- and second-grade mathematics teachers. The sample of 300 subjects consisted of 150 first- and second-grade in-service teachers and 150 pre-service teachers studying in a college of education, 75 of whom were first-year students and…

Nivera, Gladys C. – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2017
A mathematical investigation (MI) encapsulates the reform movement in mathematics education by addressing content and process simultaneously and providing a novel opportunity for students to develop thinking skills and good mental habits. However, introducing MI to teachers and students who are used to routinised teaching approaches and…

Weingberg, Paul Jason – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2019
This study examines in-service teacher development around a pedagogical practice central to teaching and learning in mathematics education, "leading a classroom discussion." This practice is used as an artifact to support the development of a teacher's professional community. This work views making teaching practices public as central to…
