This study adopted a content-analysis method to examine the differences in how the topic of functions was handled by Finnish, Singaporean, and Taiwanese middle-grade mathematics textbooks for children aged 13–15 (seventh-ninth grade). The results showed that the three countries’ textbooks used di...
” In third grade, multiplication by powers of 10 is introduced, and by fourth grade students are tasked to “use place value understanding and properties of operations to perform multi-digit arithmetic,” including multiplication and division. A fifth grader will not only be expected to “...
The q-rung orthopair fuzzy set is a powerful tool for depicting fuzziness and uncertainty, as compared to the Pythagorean fuzzy model. The aim of this paper is to present q-rung orthopair fuzzy competition graphs (q-ROFCGs) and their generalizations, inc
The present paper suggested a questionnaire that evaluated four metacognitive practices of teachers: planning, monitoring, regulating, and evaluating. The four suggested factors explained 54.58% of the variance in the entire teachers’ metacognitive score. A four-factor scale solved the issue of scales...
