In this research the effects of reciprocal peer tutoring on students' mathematics anxiety levels
were examined. A pretest posttest with control group design was used at a public middle …

When, how, and why students use conceptual knowledge during math problem solving is
not well understood. We propose that when solving routine problems, students are more …

At the onset of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) global pandemic, our interdisciplinary
team hypothesized that a mathematical misconception—whole number bias (WNB) …

Math anxiety negatively predicts young children's math achievement. While some
researchers have suggested that math anxiety may stem from poor math ability, others have …

Rational numbers (ie, fractions, percentages, decimals, and whole-number frequencies) are
notoriously difficult mathematical constructs. Yet correctly interpreting rational numbers is …

People's attitudes toward mathematics are multifaceted. Across four studies, we found that
children and adults have different attitudes about mathematics when asked specifically …

Comparing health risks is challenging. We tested whether a worked-example intervention
with number line (NL) visual displays improved adults' risk comparison accuracy, whether …

Understanding fraction magnitudes is important for achievement and in daily life. However,
adults' fraction reasoning sometimes appears to reflect whole number bias and other times …

Although important for the acquisition of later math skills, fractions are notoriously difficult.
Previous studies have shown that higher math anxiety (MA) is associated with lower …

According to the processing efficiency theory (PET), math anxiety would interfere with
working memory resources, negatively affecting mathematical abilities. To date, few studies …
