María J. Beltrán-Meneu; Rafael Ramírez-Uclés; Juan M. Ribera-Puchades; Angel Gutiérrez; Adela Jaime – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
We present a case study of proving by three 12-13-year-old students with different levels of mathematical giftedness. After analysing students' proofs, we conclude that: there was a relation on the consistency and the students' levels of mathematically giftedness, being the least consistent the student not mathematically gifted and the most…

Alegre, Francisco; Moliner, Lidon; Lorenzo-Valentin, Gil; Maroto, Ana – South African Journal of Education, 2021
The academic effects of learning statistics and probability through peer tutoring were analysed in the research reported on here. Two hundred and eight students enrolled in Grades 7, 8 and 9 participated. Fixed- and same-age peer tutoring was implemented 3 times per week for 6 weeks. Each tutoring session lasted approximately 25 minutes. The main…

Alegre, Francisco; Moliner, Lidon; Maroto, Ana; Lorenzo-Valentin, Gil – Journal of Educational Research, 2019
This study reports the academic benefits of peer tutoring in algebra for middle school students. A total of 380 students enrolled in grades 7th and 8th participated in the study. Two peer tutoring sessions took place during each week (10 weeks). Interactions between peers lasted 20 to 25 minutes for each session. The typology of tutoring was fixed…

Jiang, Ronghuan; Li, Xiaodong; Fernández, Ceneida; Fu, Xinchen – European Journal of Psychology of Education, 2017
This study investigates Spanish and Chinese students' performance on both addition problems and proportion problems considering a cross-national perspective. The effect of number structure and nature of quantities was also considered. Nine hundred twenty-five 4th to 8th graders (453 Chinese, 472 Spanish) took a test which is composed of addition…

Alegre Ansuategui, Francisco José; Moliner Miravet, Lidón – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
This paper describes an experience of same-age peer tutoring conducted with 19 eighth-grade mathematics students in a secondary school in Castellon de la Plana (Spain). Three constructs were analysed before and after launching the program: academic performance, mathematics self-concept and attitude of solidarity. Students' perceptions of the…

Garuti, Rossella; Dapueto, Carlo; Boero, Paolo – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
The report describes a mathematical modelling activity of a natural phenomenon (transmission of hereditary characters in a codominance case) using the concept of model as a theoretical instrument. The chosen tool enables us to show how the construction of a link between reality and a model is related to the evolution of the graphical…
