This paper explains teaching modern geometry for schools using software called Surfer and converting the algebraic surfaces into Batik motifs as one example of teaching mathematics with the integration of STEAM. Typical algebraic surfaces known in schools were, for example, cylinders and spheres which are identified as traditional geometry in this…

Crystalline concept is the main concept used as the reference by students in algebraic verification. This concept divided the way of solving algebraic verification into two types: symbolic and embodied compression. This research aimed to explore the students' mathematical thinking process in solving algebraic verification based on the Crystalline…

Most students practice abductive reasoning in solving mathematical problems that encourage creativity. This study analyses the process of making conjectures based on abductive reasoning. This study used a qualitative design and involved 106 undergraduate mathematics students enrolled in the mathematics course Introduction to Ring. We analyzed the…

Mathematical proof is a logically formed argument based on students' thinking process. A mathematical proof is a formal process which needs the ability of analytical thinking to solve. However, researchers still find students who complete the mathematical proof process through intuitive thinking. Students who have studied mathematical proof in the…

Mathematical representation has an essential role in solving mathematical problems. However, there are still many mathematics education students who have difficulty in representing ill-structured problems. Even though the ill-structured-problem-solving tasks designed to help mathematics education students understand the relevance and…

The study examines the impact of APOS theory on students' achievement in Elementary Linear Algebra (ELA) in accordance with their adequate prior knowledge (APK) and inadequate prior knowledge (IAPK). The mixed methods were used to determine the problem-solving test in ELA. Data were obtained from 65 industrial engineering students at Andalas…

The structure sense is a part that must be learned in order to help understand and construct connection in abstract algebra. This study aimed at building the pattern of a structure sense as a profile of the structure sense in group property. Using a qualitative study, the structure sense of group property was explored through lecturing activity of…

The trends of teaching mathematical thinking and the existence of two thinking skills (critical dan creative thinking) the required by 21st century skills have created needs for teachers to know their students' thinking processes. This study is intended to portray how mathematics teachers expect their students showing their thinking processes in…

This paper reports findings of a post test experimental control group design conducted to investigate the role of modified Moore learning approach on improving students' mathematical understanding and proving abilities. Subjects of study were 56 undergraduate students of one state university in Bandung, who took advanced abstract algebra course.…

The first volume of the 29th annual conference of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education contains plenary lecture and research forum papers as listed below. Short oral communications papers, poster presentations, brief summaries of discussion groups, and working sessions are also included in the volume. The plenary…
