The thesis consists of four articles and a preamble that introduces the work and links the articles together. The overarching issue that guides this work concerns the textbooks and their use in mathematics teaching in Sweden. The intention of making four different studies was to be able to examine the textbooks and their use in the classroom from different perspectives. All parts of the thesis ...

The aim of this article is to consider the professional knowledge and competences of mathematics teachers in compulsory education, and to propose basic tasks and activities in an initial training programme in the framework of a global proposal for “Immersion” in the curriculum of the educational phase which the trainee teacher would go on to work in. Problem-solving, in this context, is conside...

Integrated learning has been put forward in curriculum documents as a means to add meaning and context to mathematics and science learning. However, few models of practice exist to guide teachers’ in implementing this process. This paper examines an educational researcher’s and a practicing teacher’s challenge to use student construction of Lego artefacts as a tool for the learning of mathemati...

Does a middle school mathematics curriculum that is redesigned using principles based in cognitive research improve student outcomes? To test whether research can be effectively translated into practice, the Connected Mathematics Project 2 (CMP2) curriculum was revised according to four principles 1) integrating visual with verbal information, 2) prompting for self-explanation of correct and in...

existence of words and concepts of basic sciences including mathematics, geology, biology, chemistry and physics in the poetry causes many form and conceptual rises and falls for which further investigation and criticism are necessary. science always accompanies with accuracy and science introduction  into poetic and literary  area will also involve it in accuracy and give it more depth. someti...

This paper is about concept maps and how they can assist in the learning ofconcepts of mathematics. First the paper presents the theoretical backgroundand working denitions for concept maps. Then this study examines the impactof using concept maps in learning of fractions. Results of this study indicatedthat using this strategy was eective in learning of fractions for fourth-gradestudents. This...

one of the debates concerning concepts of “medial motion” and “traversal motion” is the question of which of these two concepts of motion corresponds to motion in the corporeal world. in the present article we intend to employ the language of mathematics to present a model for each of these two concepts to study the above mentioned problem. as a result, medial motion represents a covering funct...
