Researchers from multiple disciplines have found that fractions and algebra knowledge are linked. One major strand of research has identified children's "units coordination" structures as crucial for success with fractions and algebra via multiplicative reasoning, whereas a second strand of research points to "magnitude…

Pradina Parameswari; Purwanto; Sudirman; Susiswo – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
Students' difficulties in differentiating the direct proportion and inverse proportion problems cause interference. Proactive interference is the error that occurs when old information (concept of direct proportion) interferes with new information (concept of inverse proportion). In solving the problem of inverse proportion, students often use the…

This article reports on the design and implementation of a didactic sequence in the frame of a design-based research study. The research aim is to test the hypothesis that affordances of dynamic geometry may support students' awareness of logical relationships between geometrical properties of constructed figures. We elaborate on the task design…

Role of Mathematics Motivation in the Relationship between Mathematics Self-Efficacy and Achievement
Khalid S. Al Umairi – Journal of Pedagogical Research, 2024
The current study intended to investigate the mediation role of mathematics motivation through the relationship between mathematics self-efficacy and mathematics achievement. The sample of the study consisted of 374 eighth-grade Omani students, 180 females and 194 males. PLS-SEM was used to investigate the direct effect between mathematics…

Nadya Syifa Utami; Sufyani Prabawanto; Didi Suryadi – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2024
The conception of functions, defined as the relationship between magnitudes or sets of ordered pairs, varies among students depending on the contextualization of the concept within the curriculum, notably in school textbooks. This investigation endeavors to scrutinize the approach taken by Indonesian textbooks in introducing the function concept…

Paoletti, Teo; Gantt, Allison L.; Corven, Julien – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 2023
Emergent graphical shape thinking (EGST) involves interpreting or constructing a graph as dynamically generated, which is useful across science, technology, engineering, and mathematics fields. Although evidence suggests that students as young as middle school can engage in EGST with support, other research indicates most college students and U.S.…
