There are large individual differences in early numerical skills. The present study aimed to evaluate the psychometric properties of a test assessing the early development of numerical skills in the context of French preschool and kindergarten education.

To ensure that all children can fulfill their potential, it is essential to examine the factors underlying poverty-related achievement gaps. This study investigates the extent to which EF explains disparities in academic outcomes among South African preschool children.

Different teaching approaches in mathematics classrooms can influence student engagement and motivation. This study explores the impact that the Thinking Classroom teaching approach has on students’ motivation by examining the case of Zoe, a 16-year-old student who initially found mathematics boring and difficult.

Med frågor, gester och ingångar till lösningar av geometriska problem på stora tavlan skapade lärarna engagemang och möjligheter för eleverna att utforska begreppet cirkel.

Hur används matematik i arbetslivet? Det undersökte elever i årskurs 9 på Birgittaskolan i Örebro tillsammans med inbjudna arbetsgivare genom undervisningskonceptet Smartmatte. Rektor Roger Holmström berättar om syftet med besöket och dagen. 

I den här rapporten sammanfattar och kommenterar Skolforskningsinstitutet en systematisk översikt som sammanställt resultat från interventioner som genomförts i syfte att främja elevers kunskaper om rationella tal, med fokus på elever som uppvisar svårigheter i sin matematikutveckling (pdf).

This paper highlights and problematises the state’s selection of subject content in Mathematics and Art teaching, and how this has changed over time, based on syllabi from the introduction of elementary education in 1842 to the present syllabi from 2022. (pdf)

The learning-by-teaching paradigm, particularly with AI-powered teachable agents, has shown particular promise for mathematics education. Despite this potential, it remains unclear how to best balance conceptual and procedural knowledge in this paradigm to optimize learning. This study addresses that question by examining how students' knowledge focus during two learning phases, preparing for teaching by watching…

Hur kan matematiklärare på gymnasiet använda programmering i undervisningen på ett bra sätt? Och hur kan användningen av programmering utveckla elevers matematiska förståelse? Det har Anders Borg, doktor i pedagogiskt arbete vid Karlstads universitet kikat närmare på.

Strategies for teachers to shift focus from getting the right answers to building real mathematical understanding.

Jon Star, professor at the Harvard Graduate School of Education, on strategies to move math teaching beyond speed, fostering deeper thinking and understanding for advanced students.
