Direct linkKaur, Berinderjeet – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
In this paper a part of the data from a larger study, the Enactment Project, is explored. The exploration is guided by two research questions. The first is specific to the instructional core of teacher practice while the second is related to student perceptions of how they learn mathematics. The project adopted the Complementary Accounts…

Toh, Tin Lam – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2021
In this paper, the Singapore school calculus curriculum at the upper secondary and the pre-university levels is examined in the light of the Singapore mathematics curriculum framework. Three key features of the calculus content are discerned: (1) an intuitive approach to calculus supported by the use of technology; (2) an emphasis on techniques;…

Xin, Yan Ping – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
Whole number arithmetic is the foundation of higher mathematics and a core part of elementary mathematics. Awareness of pattern and underlying problem structure promote the learning of whole number arithmetic. A growing consensus has emerged on the necessity to provide students with the opportunity to engage in algebraic reasoning earlier in their…

Kaur, Berinderjeet – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2019
The goal of this paper is to present a succinct consolidation of the why, what and how of the 'Model' method as there is a lack of such documentation for researchers, practitioners and policy makers thus far. The 'Model' method is a tool for representing and visualising relationships when solving whole number arithmetic (WNA) word problems. The…

Ng, Kit Ee Dawn – ZDM: The International Journal on Mathematics Education, 2018
Despite the incorporation of mathematical modelling in the Singapore mathematics curriculum framework since 2007, Singapore teachers still face readiness issues concerning the use of open-ended real-world problems. This paper presents some preliminary findings from an exploratory study undertaken within a professional development programme on…
