Early algebraic thinking is the reasoning engaged in by 5-to 12-year-olds as they build
meaning for the objects and ways of thinking to be encountered within the later study of …

In this study, we aimed to address two gaps in research on early mathematical patterning,
namely the lack of attention (1) to growing patterns and (2) to the association between …

A theoretical model describing young students'(Grades 1–3) functional-thinking modes was
formulated and validated empirically (n= 345), hypothesizing that young students' functional …

Abstract Algebra has been explicit in many school curriculum programs from the early years
but there are competing views on what content and approaches are appropriate for different …

The purpose of this research was to describe the positions and causes of students' errors in
algebraic thinking based on the cognitive style. This study was qualitative research with …

We conducted a descriptive exploratory study in which we analyzed 313 sixth to eighth
grade students' answers to a word problem, accompanied by diagrams, involving …

This study aims to understand the functional thinking of 10th-grade students while studying
functions. Specifically, we intend to answer the following research questions: what are the …

One typical challenge in algebra education is that many students justify the equivalence of
expressions only by referring to transformation rules that they perceive as arbitrary without …

Metacognitive knowledge and mathematical intelligence were tested in a group of 280
pupils of grade 7 age 12–13 years in the Czech Republic. Metacognitive knowledge was …

Insight into early precursors of proportional reasoning is necessary to further our theoretical
understanding of mathematical development and to guide early interventions. Although …
