Abstract

Students often find mathematics a challenging subject and turn it into a scourge for them. Game-based learning, such as “24-card game”, help engage students in a self-paced and fun learning process and thus may overcome students’ math anxiety and promote mental math skills. This research aims to examine how the 24-card game works using the Monte Carlo method and the possibility to overcome students' mathematics anxiety. The meta-analysis method was used to explain Monte Carlo’s simulation to solve the solution for all possible combinations of cards in the game and respectively assign difficulty levels. The student's proficiency level was evaluated based on the divergence value in the number of guesses required to solve the dealt combination at 87% to show full proficiency. The evaluation could also show the math difficulty of advanced operations, such as fractions and grouping games. This game is more efficient in developing students' mental math skills compared to a conventional and rigidly structured classroom lecture.

Abstract

This paper aims to address some implications for mathematics education regarding the financial and economic implications of the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic. We use the term financial numeracy to refer to the quantitative aspect of financial education while also arguing for it to be considered a domain of mathematics education. Financial numeracy entails three dimensions: contextual, conceptual, and systemic. We bring three examples of financial implications of the crisis in different countries. Based on these examples, we constructed learning situations that reflect the distinct orientations of each dimension of financial numeracy to clarify the teaching of such a concept in school mathematics. Particularly in a time of crisis, mathematics education must address immediate needs of society as well as contribute to overcoming social challenges. We hope that financial numeracy brings innovative solutions to teach mathematics in a way that helps individuals and communities produce and manage resources while protecting the planet.

Abstract

Mathematics cannot be separated from human life. However, mathematics is often taught directly through formulas and abstract mathematical forms at school and is less associated with students' daily lives. Hence, it makes it difficult for students to understand mathematics and often find it difficult to understand how mathematics can be useful in dealing with various problems in real life. Therefore, school mathematics needs to be reconnected with the reality of human life so that students can easily understand mathematics and use it to solve various daily life problems. This study explores ethnomathematics in Javanese culture, especially in the Gringsing batik motif. The ethnographic method was employed in this study, and the data was collected through literature review, observation, and interviews. The data was then analyzed before and according to the conditions in the field. The results showed that the Gringsing batik motif contains philosophical meanings, cultural values, and mathematical elements of plane shapes and geometric transformations. This research contributes to the context of learning mathematics. In addition, it also increases the knowledge of mathematics and culture and can be used as a reference in learning or similar research.

Abstract

Often general, and frequently involving scholarly concepts, research questions are the cornerstone of studies. Thus, from their precise wording to their context, research questions play a vital role in uncovering information, determining answers given by participants, and drawing conclusions. However, poorly structured research questions and misalignments to purpose within theoretical and empirical studies can lead to miscommunication and unanswered queries. To this point, this paper discusses the importance of asking purposeful researchable questions in mathematics education and examines what purposeful questioning in mathematics education using quantitative and qualitative research designs entails. An extensive review of literature, is presented with the purpose of identifying strategies for asking purposeful questions, exploring various criteria for judging researchable questions in mathematics education, and discussing the importance of aligning research questions to methodology and frameworks. The key findings reveal that ambiguities of language and the powerful force of context in interpreting the meaning of questions and answers could influence the impact of studies. Implications exist for mathematics and science education scholars who, face various challenges in asking questions that will produce what they want to know. The paper concludes with a brief discussion as to the significance and possibilities of purposeful researchable questions in mathematics education.

Abstract

Inspiration plays a significant role in sparking or enhancing the learning motivation of prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs). Inspiration will also influence the mathematical identity of PMTs’ when they become professional mathematics teachers. A mathematics teacher educator (MTE) can be a source of inspiration for PMTs; hence, a study must identify and explain why an MTE is considered inspiring. This study attempts to develop the theory of inspiring MTEs profiles based on the experience of PMTs. This study included 21 students and 7 lecturers of the Mathematics Education Department in a public university in Indonesia. This qualitative research was conducted employing a grounded theory constructivist approach. The findings revealed that inspiring MTEs possessed the following characteristics: “creating a sense of comfort, being knowledgeable, being motivating, providing fun and enjoyable learning, imparting new insights and comprehension, and being disciplined and authoritative.” According to this theory, an inspiring MTE creates a sense of comfort through their gracious, friendly, humble, and humorous personality. Fun and enjoyable learning in this study is learning that provide a sense of comfort, fun learning, interactive learning, and carrying out evaluations. MTEs give new insight and understanding by explaining in detail, systematically, and easily understood, sharing creative ideas, and providing scaffolding. Implications of this finding are discussed.

Abstract

In this article, 30 preservice teachers’ engagement in an interdisciplinary project about the settlement of Iceland by the Vikings is investigate. A qualitative research method was applied to examine photos that documented preservice teachers’ group work over three days and their responses to an open-ended questionnaire about their learning outcomes. The preservice teachers’ responses to the questionnaire suggested that they failed to recognize the statistical aspects that they had engaged with, such as averages, which could be identified in photographs of their group work over three days. The photographs showed that students had participated in the different cycles of the statistical enquiry model, at least to some degree, with one major lack being variation. These results have implications for teacher educators who want to support preservice teachers to adopt interdisciplinary projects in their future classrooms.
