Laudano, Francesco – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
We introduce the concept of the "sequence of the ratios of convex quadrilaterals," identify some properties of these sequences and use them to provide new characterizations for some classic quadrilateral families. The research involves aspects of geometry, arithmetic and mathematical analysis, which converge to produce the results.

Nurnberger-Haag, Julie; Alexander, Anita N.; Powell, Sarah R. – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
Although the complexity of children's number learning is recognized, trade books about number have been treated as a simple, undifferentiated set. This analysis of 186 children's books, however, categorized a distinct subset of books about number as "counting books." These counting books were complex with regard to portrayal of counting…

Nur, Andi Saparuddin; Kartono, Kartono; Zaenuri, Zaenuri; Rochmad, Rochmad – Participatory Educational Research, 2022
The integer is a basic concept in studying arithmetic and algebra. However, students still frequently experience misconceptions, especially in negative integer, count operations. Traditional games are activities that are often carried out by students in coastal areas so that they are relevant to be used as a tool to construct learning trajectories…

Flores, Raymond; Inan, Fethi A.; Han, Sunyoung; Koontz, Esther – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2019
This study examined the effects of two teaching treatments [multiple-representation instruction (MR) and traditional algorithmic instruction (TA)] on students' performance on mathematics problems that integrated fractions, decimals, and percent. Using a 2 × 2 crossover design, the effect of the teaching treatments and their sequences on student…

Supianto, Ahmad Afif; Hayashi, Yusuke; Hirashima, Tsukasa – Research and Practice in Technology Enhanced Learning, 2016
Problem-posing is well known as an effective activity to learn problem-solving methods. Although the activity is considered in contributing to the understanding of the problem's structure, it is not clear how learners could understand it through the activity. This study proposes a method to offer a visual representation for analyzing the…
