Purpose of the study: This study is a survey of teachers’ and students' perceptions of mathematics teaching and learning practices. The purpose of this study was to determine the level of learning practice based on metacognitive regulation strategies and student interactions to increase student achievement. Methodology: A quantitative survey of 45 mathematics teachers and 52 Form 2 students using questionnaires was conducted to look at the level of mathematics teaching and learning practices and to obtain agreement on the need for learning metacognitive regulation strategies and student interactions. Findings: The findings show that teachers' level of knowledge about metacognitive regulation strategies, level of teaching and learning based on metacognitive regulation and student interaction strategies, and level of mastery and application of student mathematics skills are moderate. Implications: Furthermore, teachers and students agree that teaching and learning practices based on metacognitive regulation strategies and student interaction need to be implemented as a mathematics learning intervention to enhance students’ mastery in mathematics. Implications of this study led to the suggestion that metacognitive regulation strategies be used as a best practice and guide to transform teaching and learning methods. Novelty/Originality of this study: This study is an extension of the study of aspects of metacognitive skills by looking at both the view of the teacher and the student. Results show that students' metacognitive skills and interactions are related to and influence learning.

In this chapter, the authors describe four successful experiments in using social networking sites (Facebook and Edmodo) in mathematics teaching and learning, where this use depended on populating the sites with historical mathematicians and/or mathematical phenomena. They describe two models of using social networking sites in mathematics education, as well as the phases of working mathematically with students when implementing each model. The authors emphasize the use of social talk as the first step to involve students with the learning of mathematics, as well as moving to cultural talk as a bridge between the social talk and the mathematical discourse. The experience in the four experiments indicates that social networking sites invite student collaboration, as well as encourage their learning actions and interactions. Teacher's or moderator's sensitivity is a very important factor for the success of the experiment, especially when young students are involved. Other factors which influenced the success of students' learning in social networking sites were the features of the social networking site, the properties of the inter-disciplinary phenomenon or the mathematics produced by the historical mathematicians, the background of the learners, and the activities of the moderator.

As digital technology becomes more ubiquitous in society and education, mathematics teachers are expected to design and integrate technology-enriched learning environments effectively. This task encompasses many challenges, but primarily, it entails the identification of how technology may produce insights. This study examines several categories of core mathematical processes that can be enhanced by the integration of dynamic interactive software such as identifying properties, connecting multiple representations, and solving problems, among others. The process of visualization appears at the center of dynamic and interactive mathematics learning environments. Evidence of its functionality and the benefits it reports to the teaching and learning process for each category is presented. Further discussion on the challenges that mathematics teacher education programs and teachers face—not only in their digital competences but also in the role they play—are outlined.

Purpose - The Malaysian government has allocated a large budget for Orang Asli primary school education via the Department of Orang Asli Development (JAKOA) to help improve Orang Asli pupils’ academic performance including mathematics. Teachers face challenges in ensuring that Orang Asli pupils become competent learners of mathematics. Hence, this study examined the teachers’ perspectives on the issues and challenges in the teaching and learning of mathematics at Orang Asli primary schools in Malaysia. Methodology - In this qualitative study, Two Orang Asli primary schools were randomly selected from eight primary schools within an Orang Asli Settlement in the District of Sungai Siput. The data were collected via focus group discussions and interviews, which were carried out during enculturation visits and were fully transcribed and thematically analysed. The research participants were purposively selected and comprised the schools’ administrators and mathematics teachers. Findings - The results of the data analysis showed that there were two main themes, namely classroom challenges and school challenges, in determining mathematics competence among Orang Asli pupils. Classroom challenges consisted of five sub-themes namely coverage of mathematics syllabus, mathematics teaching and learning resources, pupil engagement, language barrier, and mathematics learning culture. School challenges consisted of two sub-themes namely school attendance and discipline. To enhance mathematics competence among Orang Asli pupils, it is deemed important to conduct programmes and community engagement. Significance - This study contributes to the knowledge of the teaching and learning of mathematics at Orang Asli primary schools. It is recommended that teachers allow Orang Asli pupils to take home their mathematics textbooks so that they can complete their homework at home. Teachers are highly encouraged to conduct mathematics teaching and learning activities in groups to develop meaningful and engaging lessons.

In July 2017, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) released a new mission statement that shifts the organization's primary focus to supporting and advocating for the highest quality mathematics teaching and learning for all students. A key strategy for achieving this goal is to advance “a culture of equity where each and every person has access to high quality teaching and is empowered as a learner and doer of mathematics” (NCTM, 2017, “Strategic Framework,” para. 2). Increasing equity and ensuring the highest quality mathematics teaching and learning for all students requires systemic change (National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics [NCSM] & TODOS: Mathematics for ALL, 2016). As educators are called to enact NCTM's new mission, we acknowledge that such change is complex. We also acknowledge that our own experiences conducting equity work that is grounded in an asset-based approach are at different stages of development, ranging from beginning levels to lived experiences as diverse mathematics learners and mathematics education researchers. We see this change in mission as a call to both act politically (Aguirre et al., 2017) and to change story lines (i.e., “broad, culturally shared narrative[s]”; Herbel-Eisenmann et al., 2016, p. 104) that dominate the public perception of mathematics learning and teaching. We acknowledge that systemic barriers are part of a larger educational issue, but for the purposes of this commentary, we focus on mathematics.

The use of Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in a variety of educational activities creates lots of conveniences, increases effectiveness and efficiency. It is believed that the use of ICT in the educational process makes learning more interesting, enables explaining the concept more clearly, foster creativity, collaborative skills and many more. Due to the fact that the students are millennial generation, who is quite familiar with ICT in their daily life, the use of ICT is important. In learning mathematics, GeoGebra which is dynamic open source software can be used as a teaching and learning tool for mathematics. However, some are still unaware of the benefits of using GeoGebra to learn mathematics. This article discusses the various benefits of using GeoGebra in mathematics teaching and learning, and several studies that support it. The advantages of using GeoGebra in mathematics teaching and learning are as follows: GeoGebra might be used to demonstrate or visualize mathematical concepts, as well as a means of constructing mathematical concepts. The use of GeoGebra in mathematics learning can foster mathematical reasoning, creativity, support collaboration, involve students more in the learning process. And, the more involved, more effective and efficient the learning is.
