Investigation of Jordanian pre-service teachers' beliefs about learning and teaching of mathematics
(2013)
This study investigated Jordanian pre-service teachers' beliefs about the learning and teaching of mathematics. One aim of the study was to identify possible explanations for why Jordanian students score much lower than many of their global...
Where are the boundaries of mathematics education (policy)? : Comparing two school districts and their subject-matter contexts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)
To achieve ambitious and equitable mathematics education, districts will likely have to extend their improvement efforts beyond the bounds of classroom teaching and learning. However, the literature has yet to explore the boundaries that determine...
Understanding the Use of Curriculum Materials: A Cross-Site Research Study Report
(Center for the Study of Mathematics Curriculum, 2006-06)
A cross-site study conducted under the auspices of CSMC was designed to explore curriculum enactment of a particular mathematical topic in the three districts. District representatives selected “composing and decomposing” as the focus of the study...
K-12 Mathematics: What Should Students Learn and When Should They Learn it?
(2007-02)
In the fall of 2006 several influential national groups (Achieve, American Statistical Association, College Board, and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics) developed and released documents that recommended curriculum standards or focal...
Intended Mathematics Curriculum as Represented in State-Level Curriculum Standards: Consensus or Confusion?
(2006-04)
-level mathematics curriculum
specification in the U.S. and highlights a general lack of consensus across states. As
states continue to work to improve learning opportunities for all students, we hope this
report will serve as a useful summary to inform future...
Facilitating emergent bilingual's participation in mathematics : an examination of a teacher's positioning acts
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
This study examined the mathematical learning opportunities provided to Latinx emergent bilinguals (EBs) in an elementary classroom. I used positioning theory (Rom Harre & van Langenhove, 1999b) to examine the acts of one third-grade teacher, Ms...
The effects of animated agents with verbal audio on mathematics comprehension and attitudes towards mathematics and computers
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
This doctoral study investigated the effect of animated agents with verbal audio in WBI on mathematics achievement and attitudes toward mathematics and computers using a pretest-posttest control group design model among eighty-one college students...
The vanishing of Tor_1^R(R^+,k) implies that R is regular
(2003)
Let (R,m,k) be an excellent local ring of positive prime characteristic. We show that if Tor_1^R(R^+,k) = 0 then R is regular. This improves a result of Schoutens, in which the additional hypothesis that R was an isolated ...
Examining secondary teachers' practical rationality of mathematical modeling
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2020)
Research on mathematical modeling is growing rapidly in the field of mathematics education, and there are numerous benefits of engaging students in modeling activities. However, mathematical modeling is still marginalized in mathematics instruction...
Using early numeracy indicators as a means to predict long-term math achievement
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
, and missing number measures given in grades Kindergarten and Grade 1 were compared to proficiency on a state high stakes mathematics achievement test at Grades 3 and 4. Logistic regression was utilized in order to predict a Proficient or Not Proficient score...

(American Institute of Physics, 1996)
Addendum: On the ionization of a Keplerian binary system by periodic gravitational radiation [J. Math. Phys. 37, 3997-4016 (1996)]
Mathematics textbooks and state curriculum standards : an analysis of the alignment between the written and intended curricula
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2007)
This study documented the alignment between state curriculum standards and the treatment of fraction concepts and computation in popular elementary and middle grades mathematics textbooks. Grade-level Learning Expectations (GLEs) from the five most...
Analysis of content and pedagogical content knowledge in secondary mathematics teachers' preparation programs : perceptions of novice teachers, cooperating teachers, and university professors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
math teachers. Universities create a customized path of preparation based on their beliefs within the scope of a set of standards given by organizations such as the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics or National Council for Accreditation...
A study of teacher knowledge as secondary mathematics teachers use a new technology
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2010)
Professional organizations (e.g., NCTM and NCSM) and educational leaders advocate for increased use of technology in high school mathematics. Educational researchers find that teachers' beliefs and knowledge influence use of technology and student...
Implementation of integrated mathematics textbooks in secondary school classrooms
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2009)
The study reports how 44 secondary school teachers implemented the first two courses of an integrated mathematics textbook series, Core-Plus. Textbook implementation was examined in relation to three components: (a) regular use of textbook; (b) use...
Pre-service teacher professional noticing for teaching mathematics
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2021)
Students with disabilities and/or those who have difficulty learning mathematical concepts can be found in almost every classroom. Over the last several decades, the responsibilities and roles of general and special education educators have shifted...
A Longitudinal study of modeling-based college algebra and its effect on student achievement
(2020)
of creating a better course for terminal students and yet still preparing nonterminal students for the next mathematics course. In this quantitative study, the difference between the two College Algebra courses in terms of average final grade, the D...
Two paths to advanced placement calculus : an examination of secondary students' mathematical understanding emerging from integrated and single-subject curricula
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
This study examined high school students' mathematical understanding of calculus readiness concepts after studying four years of college preparatory (integrated or single-subject) mathematics. Data were collected from 505 students, 201 experienced...
Professional identity and curricular construction : a study of teacher interaction with mathematics curricula of two types
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
of student investigation of mathematics in small groups. In this dual role, teachers are influenced by the norms and expectations in their textbooks. The results from this study provide insight into how these teachers identify as participants within...
