This article examines three types of induction methods in mathematics: mathematical induction, transfinite induction, and induction over the continuum. If a statement holds true for all natural numbers, it is proven using mathematical induction. If a statement holds true for all ordinal numbers, it is proven using transfinite induction. Since induction over the continuum cannot be applied to a statement, when something is said to be proven true for every point in [a, b), the proof is done using induction over the continuum.

Preliminary observation results highlight the importance of utilizing innovative learning media to stimulate students' creativity in both classroom and home-based learning. One interactive learning medium identified for this purpose is GeoGebra Classroom. This research aims to analyze the effect of using the GeoGebra Classroom on the increment of students’ creativity, the effect of the increment of students’ creativity on students’ learning Results, the effect of GeoGebra Classroom quality on students’ learning Results, and the interactivity between students’ creativity and the quality of GeoGebra Classroom learning media. By analyzing pre- and post-implementation learning processes with GeoGebra Classroom, we collected data on increased student creativity. In conclusion, GeoGebra Classroom effectively fosters increased student creativity. And from the process of analyzing the effect of students’ creativity increments, we get the result that the creativity increments give an effect on the learning result of quadratic function materials. Unfortunately, the quality of the learning media GeoGebra Classroom can’t give an effect on the learning result. The insights gained pave the way for future research efforts to delve deeper into the optimization of interactive learning media to improve educational outcomes in a variety of academic contexts.

The present study assessed the mediating effects of history of mathematics concepts on the relationship between mathematics connection and mathematics motivation. The study was a descriptive survey carried out on 390 students randomly selected from Asuoso Senior High School in the Offinso-North District of Ghana’s Ashanti region. Data was collected using Likert type structured questionnaires. Reliability analysis was computed in SPSS (V. 23) and confirmatory factor analysis was computed in AMOS (V. 23). In addition, average variance extracted (AVE), convergent validity, and discriminant validity were computed in Microsoft Excel from factor loadings. Also, composite reliability was calculated at https://www.thestatisticalmind.com/composite-reliability/. Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) was computed in Amos (V. 23) to determine direct, and mediating effects among the main constructs. The study found that mathematics connection positively and significantly influenced mathematics motivation of senior high school students. The indirect effects of mathematics connection on mathematics motivation through history of mathematics concepts was positive and significant. The study recommended that mathematics teachers should desist from merely topic explanations and rote memorization of solution procedures. They should rather make mathematics connections and history of mathematics concepts imminent in their lesson planning and delivery. To implement this, mathematics topics should be linked to real-life scenarios, other subjects, and students’ lives, and the history behind such concepts are explained in plain language. Not only teachers, NaCCA should ensure that the mathematics syllabus and textbooks for senior high schools have incorporated real-life scenarios as well as the historical background of concepts to ensure learners develop the interest and motives for studying mathematics.
