The paper offers a case study of the teaching of a traditionally-taught abstract algebra course, including showing the range of practice as larger than previously described in research literature.

Our study showed that the online course effectively expanded eighth-graders' access to Algebra I, albeit in a context in which online teachers and students interacted less than anticipated and ...

An ongoing series of studies shows students do better when word problems are tailored to their interests.

Educational Studies in Mathematics presents new ideas and developments of major importance to those working in the field of mathematical education. It seeks to reflect both the variety of research ...

New research on a Chicago policy that requires some 9th graders to double up on algebra instruction identifies longer-run benefits for participants.

Students quickly forget what they learn in a traditional algebra class, but linking algebra to real-world problems helps them retain the information, a new study shows.

Lawrence Levine’s students at Stevens Institute of Technology learn to use sophisticated math software as a tool in linear algebra.

That study looked at only ninth graders across 24 school districts in California, but also found that students who took algebra a second time were unlikely to score “proficient” on the state exam ...
