For example, in South Africa, students must choose between mathematics or mathematical literacy from grade 10. While mathematics is important for students wanting to pursue careers in STEM fields, mathematical literacy is about applications of mathematics and critical citizenship, for example making ...
But, it was still real money.) Finally, using computer-based tests also “solved” a security problem—what if teachers colluded, in scoring papers? We note that there are mechanisms to cope with such issues—teachers from District A grade papers from district B, a certain per cent of ...

This suggests that, although some studies deal with the relationship between mathematics education and the SDGs, the majority of the reviewed papers do not explicitly emphasize this link. Therefore, it is essential to pay more attention to the relationship between mathematics education and the SDGs,...
Metzenberg looks at the California Science Standards, the National Science Education Standards, and the AAAS Benchmarks for Science Literacy. In his view the NSES and the Benchmarks have set a standard of achievement for students that is shockingly low, and related NSF funding is helping to ...
Given that achievement in learning mathematics at school correlates with work and social achievements, it is important to understand the cognitive processes underlying abilities to learn mathematics efficiently as well as reasons underlying the occurrenc
The Victorian (Australia) grade 12 mathematics subject enrolment figures reveal a consistent pattern over time. Three mathematics options are offered at grade 12: Specialist Mathematics (most challenging, calculus-based), Mathematical Methods (includes calculus, pre-requisite for many university-level scie...
Similarly, other subjects may be brought in to the mathematics classroom, such as history (Bellomo and Wertheimer 2010), literacy (Bintz et al. 2011) or social justice (Bond and Chernoff 2015). Again, although a disciplinary structure remains clear in such cases, the potential exists to vary...
The focus of this review paper is to provide a state-of-the-art overview of this emerging field at the cross-roads between mathematics and engineering education, in addition to introducing the papers of this special issue. To guide this paper, we posed three review questions: (1) How can ...
Word problems in mathematics seem to constantly pose learning difficulties for all kinds of students. Recent work in math education (for example, [Lakoff,
