Globally, the use of visuo-semiotic models (VSMs) in the mathematics classroom is called for across levels and topics. Literature confirms that visual cognition/literacy in teachers is limited and that their capabilities in visual representation is low. The aim of this study was therefore to explore pre-service teachers' (PSTs) conception of VSMs…

Understanding data structures is fundamental for mastering algorithms. In order to solve problems and tasks, students must be able to choose the most appropriate data structure in which the data is stored and that helps in the process of the solution. Of course, there is no single correct solution, but in many cases, it is an important step to…

Reasoning and justification are among the core skills that mathematics education aims for students to acquire. Studies indicate that students having these skills are able to formulate meaningful geometric ideas. It is also important that students know the significance underlying the operations and mathematical ideas employed or, in other words,…
