Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsFactors Influencing Mathematic Problem-Solving Ability of Sixth Grade StudentsSakorn Pimta, Sombat Tayruakham, Prasart NuangchalermProblem statement: This study aims to investigate factors influencing mathematic problem-solving ability of sixth grade students. One thousand and twenty eight of sixth grade students, studying in the second semester of academic year 2007 were sampled by stratified random sampling technique. Approach: The research instruments used in the study included mathematic problem-solving ability test and questionnaires. Data was analyzed by … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2009 · 10,204 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsIntegrating Higher-Order Thinking Skills, Cognitive Load Theory, and Metacognition in Algebraic Problem-SolvingGurudeo Anand TularamThis study synthesizes 30 years of research (1990–2020) on algebraic problem-solving, integrating Higher-Order Thinking Skills (HOTS), Cognitive Load Theory (CLT), and metacognitive strategies to enhance student outcomes. Utilizing a critical synthesis approach with data from student interviews, problem-solving observations, and longitudinal tracking, the analysis reveals consistent patterns across diverse educational contexts despite limitations and variable factors like teaching styles and … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 22, Issue 1 · 21 Apr 2026 · 2,016 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractImportance of Quadratic Forms in Mathematics EducationGurudeo Anand TularamQuadratic forms and equations serve as foundational elements in mathematics, playing a crucial role in a myriad of scientific disciplines, including physics, chemistry, economics, and social sciences. This paper explores the significance of quadratic concepts, demonstrating their applications in modelling real-world phenomena and enhancing analytical thinking. Through a comprehensive review of literature and practical examples, the author highlights how understanding … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 17 Oct 2025 · 4,064 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Quantitative Analysis of Preparedness and Performance: Predictive Indicators in First-Year Tertiary MathematicsGurudeo Anand TularamStudent preparedness at university entry plays a critical role in determining success in mathematics courses. This study investigates how three observable behaviours: (1) completion of weekly problem sets, (2) regular tutorial attendance, and (3) performance on a mid-semester test. We investigate how they relate to each other and their final examination results. Over five years, data were collected from 450 … …Journal of Social Sciences, Vol. 21, Issue 1 · 10 Oct 2025 · 2,724 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractPersian Curve Versus Monte Carlo MethodAbdolrasoul Ranjbaran, Mohammad Ranjbaran, Fatema RanjbaranThe Monte Carlo Simulation method is a powerfultool for solving problems including random variables. The basic idea toimplement a Monte Carlo simulation is to first generate samples of randominputs from their assumed distributionfunctions and then perform a deterministic calculation on the generated randominputs, based on mathematical modeling of the system, to obtain output results.An early version of Monte Carlo simulation … …International Journal of Structural Glass and Advanced Materials Research, Vol. 5, Issue 1 · 6 Jul 2021 · 8,300 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA STUDY OF FIRST YEAR TERTIARY STUDENTS’ MATHEMATICAL KNOWLEDGE- CONCEPTUAL AND PROCEDURAL KNOWLEDGE, LOGICAL THINKING AND CREATIVITYGurudeo Anand Tularam, Kees HulsmanThis study focuses on students in first year environmental science degree programs where traditionally mathematical emphasis has been much less than the strict science or math majors. The importance now placed in applied mathematics means that students need to gain more conceptual and quantitative knowledge in not only the environmental degree programs but also in most if not all non-mathematical … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 9, Issue 3 · 1 Aug 2013 · 7,255 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTeachers’ Perceptions toward the use of GeoGebra in the Teaching and Learning of MathematicsLo Sooth Lee, Effandi ZakariaProblem statement: In a study by TIMSS, approximately 20% of Malaysian students failed to achieve the minimum benchmarks in mathematics. In addition, students do not understand mathematical concepts and lack necessary skills in problem-solving. The purpose of this study was to examine teachers’ perceptions toward the features and tools in GeoGebra. Approach: A GeoGebra workshop was conducted involving 30 secondary … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 8, Issue 2 · 16 Jun 2012 · 8,929 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractVedas and the Development of Arithmetic and AlgebraGurudeo Anand TularamProblem statement: Algebra developed in three stages: rhetorical or prose algebra, syncopated or abbreviated algebra and symbolic algebra-known as “school algebra”. School algebra developed rather early in India and the literature now suggests that the first civilization to develop symbolic algebra was the Vedic Indians. Approach: Philosophical ideas of the time influenced the development of the decimal system and arithmetic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 4 · 31 Dec 2010 · 8,263 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractThe Magnetic Field Induced by a Lightning Strike's Indirect Effect Double Exponential Current WaveformScott L. Meredith, Susan K. Earles, Ivica N. Kostanic, Niescja E. TurnerProblem statement: Develop a new formula which describes the magnetic field induced by a lightning strike’s indirect effect double exponential current waveform. Approach: A novel approach for developing a closed-form solution for the magnetic field from the indirect effect double exponential current waveform will be presented. In the literature, models typically employ the pulse waveform to derive the corresponding electromagnetic … …Journal of Mathematics and Statistics, Vol. 6, Issue 3 · 30 Sep 2010 · 8,191 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Study of Mathematics Web-Based Learning in SchoolsMansoor Al-A’aliTeaching Mathematics to intermediate school boys is a challenging process which can greatly benefit from software technology and web-based learning. In this research we study the difficulties and opportunities of using this technology in teaching Mathematics to 13 year old boys studying Mathematics at school. For students' we identify the basic requirements at home, e.g., Mathematics computer software packages, availability … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 11 · 30 Nov 2008 · 7,266 accessesView PDFCite
