This paper focuses on solving net-related problems with SketchUp and emerging instrumented techniques regarding the use of push/pull tool. The data were collected from a series of task-based interviews with an undergraduate mathematics education student including three tasks focused on building 3D objects from given nets. Spatial structuring and…

In this case study, we investigate how an inquiry-oriented interactive calculus textbook supported one U.S. college instructor's classroom teaching. We utilized analytical inquiry-oriented frameworks on observation data from a small classroom to capture textbooks' influence on the instruction conceptualized by the Teacher-Mathematics-Student face…

Math anxiety and academic distress, two interrelated forms of psychological stress, are pervasive problems for undergraduate mathematics students. Most of the research in this area has taken a broad view of the impact this stress has on students' learning across an entire course or, more broadly, the entire curriculum for their degree. To…

Despite growing recognition of the value of using technology in mathematics instruction and learning, preservice teachers consistently performed abysmally in college geometry. This study therefore examined the attitude of preservice teachers towards the integration of technology in the teaching and learning of College Geometry. Quantitative…

Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the university educational system in Nigeria largely employed traditional, face-to-face classroom approaches for teaching. This study examines how mathematics lecturers adapted to online teaching in response to COVID-19 restrictions. A mixed methods approach was used to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data…

ChatGPT was a learning revolution known as an online program for learning Algebra; it changed what we knew about the teaching medium and molded the learning platform into a more engaging way of teaching. This research determines the use of ChatGPT in addressing math anxiety and promoting the confidence of college students enrolled in algebra at a…

Mathematics is one of the core subjects in engineering education and forms the foundation of all disciplines in engineering. In Hong Kong, a significant number of students are admitted to engineering programmes without sufficient mathematical background. Engineering mathematics is essential for teaching and learning many fundamental and advanced…

This article describes an instructional sequence used with inservice secondary mathematics teachers as part of a graduate course. The instructional sequence focused on designing tasks using Interactive Geometry Software (IGS). This study answers a call for replication studies to investigate the use of an established instructional sequence. Results…

The use of digital technologies is a fundamental part of being a university student. Hence, there is a growing interest in equipping students with the skills they need to thrive in a world that is full of technology and constantly changing. Moreover, the need to provide university students with the skills they need to succeed in a rapidly…

The learning of calculus concepts is considered challenging for students. This claim is actual for calculus in general and for specific concepts in particular. In this paper, we focus on the concept of the inflection point. We argue that one of the roots of this problem is the lack of a useful and productive meaning of the concept--the…

Given the wealth of research available on what components to include in a syllabus and how that affects instructor perception, there is a lack of research on how to present the syllabus to engage students in learning about the course. Our study examined the implementation of two multimedia syllabi developed for large lecture math courses: a…

This study investigates the effects of WhatsApp social media learning group in the teaching and learning of mathematics with first year underprepared university students. The study was undertaken using a quantitative research method. It employed a randomised post-test-only with a non-equivalent groups design to investigate if there is a…

In this research, we investigated whether the use of GeoGebra Augmented Reality (AR) can foster students in conceptualising a mathematical object by manipulating its different semiotic representations. We designed and implemented, with thirty university mathematics students, a teaching sequence on paraboloids using GeoGebra AR supported by…

This paper explores the provision of online and in-person mathematics support from the student perspective. We compare and contrast online, in-person and hybrid formats of mathematics support offerings between two universities from opposite sides of the globe by presenting analysis of 227 student responses to six surveys. Three surveys were…

The ubiquitous acquisition and generation of data require a reworking of curricula in introductory statistics in tertiary education. We present a renewed curriculum that focuses on scientific thinking, modeling, and simulation-based inference, utilizing R and various R tools such as shiny and learnr apps. We teach statistics from a data-centric…
