"Developing mathematical thinking is one of major aims of mathematics education. In mathematics education research, there are a number of researches which describe what it is and how we can observe in experimental research. However, teachers have difficulties developing it in th…
This book presents a comprehensive treatment of issues related to the inception, design, implementation and reporting of large-scale education assessments. In recent years many countries have decided to become involved in international educational assessments to allow them to as…
This open access book, inspired by the ICME 13 topic study group "Affect, beliefs and identity in mathematics education", presents the latest trends in research in the area. Following an introduction and a survey chapter providing a concise overview of the state-of-art in the fi…
This study compared the SES achievement gaps of 13 education systems in both mathematics and science over time. Each education system was initially categorized as either a system with "increasing SES achievement gaps" or "decreasing SES achievement gaps," based on 20-year trends…
This text aims to combine accessible explanations of mathematical concepts with practical advice on effective ways of teaching the subject.
This second edition includes includes new brain-friendly strategies to help mathematics teachers incorporate what they learn about their students? developing minds into the classroom. It addresses the cognitive mechanisms involved in processing mathematical operations, while exp…
Robbins shows how all students, including those with special needs, can learn mathematics effectively within the mainstream curriculum. By drawing on case studies from several countries, he illustrates the implications of inclusive education for classroom teaching, whole school …
