In mathematics, students' abilities to make transformations between mathematical representations are fundamental. The recent implementation of digital technologies, such as Dynamic Geometry Environments (DGEs), have changed students' access to mathematical representations by providing a variety of different representations, available just by pressing a button. Students use of a DGE may change their mathematical communication to become more dynamic and active. However, it is not clear how the use of DGEs and the change in communication style relate to more epistemological aspects of students' mathematical work. This study, therefore, investigates the interplay between students' dynamic mathematical communication and their transformations of mathematical representations when using a DGE from a competency perspective. Based on analyses of instances of lower secondary school students' dynamic mathematical communication, findings indicate that students' mathematical communication reflect the new ways of engaging with mathematical representations when using a DGE. Hence, the communication becomes dynamic. Theoretically, the complexity of having "continuous" transformations of mathematical representations may reduce the readiness of the mathematical communication competency. The "continuous" transformation may in fact cause students to unintentionally ascribe dynamic properties to mathematical representation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Self-confidence and cognitive style are important variables that influence the behavior of students in the academic field, the continued development of academic abilities, how learning is carried out, and how they interact in classroom activities. Learning activities will be expected more effective because all of the learning steps going to be attractive and get to reach the learning achievements if students have good self-confidence. So, all of these things are related to mathematical communication ability. The data on students' mathematical communication ability scores that were influenced by two factors, the level of self-confidence and different cognitive styles, were analyzed by the experimental design carried out in this research was a 3x2 Completely Randomized Factorial Design. The observation data were analyzed statistically with the F-test at a significance level of 5%. From the test of between-subjects effects, the output data was on the ANOVA table. We can get the conclusion that there was factors interaction which can be seen by p-value (Sig.) < α = 0.05, which means rejected H0. There was an effect of interaction between self-confidence with cognitive style significantly to mathematical communication ability

Math problem-solving skills among students are still lacking. This is demonstrated by kids' inability to comprehend inquiries, offer proper responses, or convey ideas. Low communication ability can also result from instruction that downplays the importance of students' ability to solve problems.

This study aims to use the GeoGebra application as a learning aid and ascertain the efficacy of learning videos in calculus education. Using a mathematical communication test, the research employs a quantitative approach and a quasi-experimental technique to acquire data. This study’s sample is a second-year student enrolled at a Serang-Banten university. The sample is comprised of two divisions. One class is utilized for the control group of 25 pupils and another for the experimental group of 30. In the control group, students were only taught in an online learning environment using the Zoom Meet application without explaining GeoGebra-learning videos. The findings show differences in the increase in mathematical communication skills of students who study online using GeoGe-bra-learning videos (the experimental group) and those who get online learning without using GeoGebra- learning videos (the control group). Thus, GeoGebra-learning videos are a learning support tool that can improve students’ mathematical communication skills. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, we focus on self-disclosure, communicating mathematics, and infrastructure support in determining the ease of online learning for students of mathematics education study programs.

This study aimed to investigate teachers' thoughts about the role of mathematical communication in special education. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with ten special education teachers responsible for teaching students with severe disabilities from various school levels. Data analysis used open coding to identify thematically common patterns. Results showed that special education teachers' thoughts on mathematical communication fell into six themes: (i) communicating mathematical ideas through embodiment, (ii) communicating mathematical ideas while considering cognitive competency, (iii) listening, speaking, reading, or writing mathematical language, (iv) developing positive attitudes towards using mathematical language, (v) communicating mathematical ideas through repetitions, and (vi) using mathematical language in other disciplines. Teachers have recognized that students with special educational needs require more time and effort to reach their full potential because their modes of mathematical communication can be particularly varied. Therefore, they discussed the concept of mathematical communication in special education from different perspectives and presented a number of approaches to it. Implications for future research and pedagogical practice were also discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Over the last ten years, many studies have discussed the effect of implementing the Realistic Mathematics Education (RME) and Contextual Teaching and Learning (CTL) approaches on students' mathematical communication ability. However, these studies show inconsistent results. This study aims to analyze the effect of implementing the RME learning approach, the effect of implementing the CTL approach, and the difference in the effect of implementing the RME learning approach compared to the CTL approach on students' mathematical communication ability. This research used a quantitative approach with a meta-analysis method. The search for research articles with publication years from 2012 to 2022 was carried out using several databases, namely DOAJ, ERIC, Google Scholar, IOP Publishing, Garuda Portal, Semantic Scholar, and national journals link. Using the PRISMA protocol, the authors obtained 15 research articles on RME and 14 research articles on CTL that met the inclusion criteria and could be used in this study. The results of this study showed that the implementation of the RME learning approach has a moderate influence (g = 0,820) on students' mathematical communication ability, and the implementation of the CTL approach has a strong influence (g = 1,017) on students' mathematical communication ability. There is no significant difference between the effect of the RME learning approach's implementation and the CTL approach's effect on students' mathematical communication ability (Q_value = 2,329, p_value = 0,127). Therefore, the RME and CTL learning approaches can be used as learning alternatives that aim to enhance students' mathematical communication ability.

The importance of mathematical justification in all classrooms is emphasized by reform movements in mathematics education. However, previous studies reveal that encouraging justification in mathematics classes is troblesome for mathematics teachers at all school levels. This present study is aimed to find out how justification help students to develop their mathematical understandings. To answer this question, we first determined the role of justification in teaching and learning process and how good students in justifying their answers. Design research was chosen as an appropriate mean to achive that goal. The study was conducted in a state university in Yogyakarta involving four students from fifty-one students as our focus group and one of researchers as a lecturer. Justification was the focus on this study and to promote it we chose RME as an approach that served as a learning environment. In this study, all data collected from classroom observation, group observation, students’ works, video recordings, field notes during teaching experiment, and students’ final writen test. Students’ works then analyzed using a justification rubric and describe thoroughly by considering other data collected during teaching learning process. The study revealed that there were some roles of justification in RME classroom, namely encouraged conceptual understanding, supported mathematical skill, promoted long lasting skill, and influenced social relationship. In this study, most students in our focus group have already made a good justification which was assessed by the points in the CLEAR rubric. Students wrote their solutions equipped by signs or simbols, made labels, used a complete sentence to answer the question, and elaborated procedures throroughly

Justification is a set of responses or responses that a person gives when asked to provide mathematical reasons for the results he makes. Justification can be used as a social process in which mathematical knowledge is explained, and systematically verified based on ideas, definitions, and properties that apply in mathematics such as representations used to display concepts. Research on justification in mathematics education has been carried out for a long time. This study aims to evaluate mathematics justification studies from articles published after 2016 and before April 2022 from ERIC and Google Scholar Databases. The key questions in this study are how these articles are distributed based on year publication, country, participant, mathematics subject, method, and how to support mathematical justification. This study used a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) by Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines including inclusion and exclusion criteria and then the data were extracted, resulting in 30 studies to be reviewed. The result shows that by year of publication the articles fluctuation distributed, based on country no data from Africa and Australia was found in the databases, the participant is mostly preservice mathematics teachers, whereas only one publication studied in high school students, geometry is the most mathematics subject used in research since every grade contain this material, the method is frequently given by qualitative research with various approach, how to supporting mathematical justification is also discussed.

Based on the interview with the mathematics teacher in grade 9 of Junior High School in Malang, learning media used in school was limited, especially in material of transformation. This cause the students have difficulty communicating mathematical ideas when solving the problems. The purpose of this study is to develop an e-module learning media in the form of a flipbook to improve students’ mathematical communication skills. Research and development of the media was carried out using the ADDIE model. The results of the validation test that carried out by the lecturers and teachers obtained a very valid category value. The results of the effectiveness test using the N-Gain value is 0.66 included in the medium improvement category, it means that mathematical communication skills increase after being given flipbook learning media. The results of the practicality test received a positive response with an average of 79%. Based on the results of the validation, effectiveness, and practicality tests, it can be concluded that the development of flipbook learning media is valid, effective, and practical to use in teaching and learning activities to improve students’ mathematical communication skills.

Epistemological beliefs simultaneously affect mathematical communication skills. The higher the epistemological beliefs of a person's ability to formulate concepts, convey ideas, and hone ideas to convince others, the more mathematical communication skills will increase. This qualitative study uses three variables to describe mathematical communication and students' epistemological beliefs on linear system material. The subjects in this study were students who had epistemological beliefs from the test results, and students who were taken were students who were able to meet the indicators of epistemological confidence. Data collection techniques are tests, interviews and documentation. The results of this study indicate that students have beliefs that do not change or remain in solving test questions. The method used is more consistent with the way of solving, which according to students, is easy to do, able to solve problems by multiplying exercises and repeating what has been learned, solving problems by following the steps and methods of completion taught by the teacher, students can estimate answers or problem solving because of problems The subject obtained is obtained from experience and observations in everyday life.

This qualitative case study analyzed how first year university mathematics students used words, images, and symbols to convey the same mathematical ideas. The study was located within the interpretivist paradigm and took naturalistic methodology. Twenty-six first year students were purposefully selected to participate in the study. Data was collected through analyzing students' assignments scripts followed by semistructured interviews. The study sought to answer the questions: How did the first-year university students' use of words, symbols and images to convey mathematical ideas. The data were analyzed using Lave and Wenger's situated learning and Seo 'mathematical communication theories. Data analysis focused on the structure and usage of symbols, images, and words to communicate mathematical ideas. The result of the study shows that the students experienced difficulties in using words, images, and symbols to communicate the same mathematical idea. There were contradicting meanings between images, words, and symbols usage in attempt to define same concept. It is recommended that encouraging students to wave between words, symbols, and images to communicate mathematical ideas will improve understanding of mathematical concepts. First year university mathematics teachers are encouraged to not only use one method of mathematical communication when defining concepts. Moreover, it is recommended that formal mathematics definition be used after students grasped the meaning of concepts using everyday day words and images. The abstractness should only follow the definitions are understood intuitively and can be represented diagrammatically or with natural language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mathematical communication is crucial in inclusive mathematics teaching and learning to convey mathematical symbols. However, teaching mathematical symbols to deaf students in inclusive classrooms has been a persistent challenge due to the lack of specialized sign language for mathematical expressions. Media, such as SPECOMATSO technology, can serve as a bridge to address this issue. This research focused on developing valid and practical SPECOMATSO technology to strengthen students’ literacy and facilitate the delivery of mathematical symbols, which previously posed difficulties for teachers in inclusive settings. The research combined the Alessi & Trollip and V-waterfall models, encompassing seven development stages: analysis, design, implementation, unit testing, integration testing, system testing, and acceptance testing. The research instruments included observation and interview guidelines, a product validation questionnaire, and a student response questionnaire. This study produces SPECOMATSO technology that is valid and practical for learning plane geometry and angles in mathematics. Although this development still needs improvement in fixative abilities, such as storage and editing functions, it is expected to strengthen digital literacy and stimulate mathematical communication among deaf students who face challenges related to their limited auditory capabilities.

Some research about identifying the differences between male and female students’ written communication skills has been done before. However, the previous research only focused on qualitative studies. Therefore, there is still a lack of empirical proof of the result. This study aims to test whether a significant difference exists between male and female students' written mathematical communication skills and identify their performance difficulties. The subjects were 14 male and 14 female students at the junior high school. The instrument was a test of mathematical communication skills on quadrilateral topics. The research method used was a mixed method with a sequential explanatory design. The data were analyzed using Mann-Whitney U to measure the difference between male and female students’ written mathematical communication skills, and document analysis was conducted to analyze their difficulties in performing written mathematical communication. The results showed that even though there is no significant difference between written mathematical communication skills between male and female students, there is a significant difference when viewed from each indicator. In addition, the difficulties experienced by male and female students are difficulties expressing mathematical ideas using mathematical symbols, using facts and concepts to solve problems, and operating algebraic forms.

Mathematical communication skills are very important for students, especially for elementary school students. Students' communication skills in each student are always different, as are different learning styles for each student. The purpose of this study is to describe the mathematical communication process carried out by students in each type of learning style they have. The learning styles referred to refer to Honey-Mumford, namely; (1) Theoretical; (2) Pragmatic; (3) Activist; and (4) Reflective. The research was carried out at SDN 44 Ampenan, with the subjects being all of the fifth-grade students, totaling 39 students. Data collection was carried out by providing 2 instruments, namely a learning style questionnaire and math problems followed by semi-structured interviews to students who had finished. The results showed that the number of students with theoretical learning styles was the highest and students with active learning styles were the least. The results of the study also show that there are differences in mathematical communication in each learning style, but mathematical communication errors made by all types of learning styles are errors in writing formulas and conclusion sentences

Mathematical communication skill was the missing piece of the mathematics education failure puzzle for centuries despite its central role in learning activities. Built on top of other process skills, the skill was the tool to construct a more comprehensive conceptual understanding by learning math from different perspectives, sharpening other cognitive skills, and providing important feedback about students' understanding. This study observed how the students' mathematical communication skill was correlated with the application of the generative learning model and how this correlation was influenced by various level of the school's academic achievement in mathematics. It employed a fractional 2x2-factorial design, careful non-probability sampling combined with simple random sampling to pick 171 students, and a validated and reliable scoring system to measure communication skills. Based on the results, the students' mathematical communication skill significantly correlates with the application of the generative learning model. The use of factorial design revealed that this correlation was more determined by applying the generative learning model, not by the level of schools' or students' mathematics achievement. Teachers should be more optimistic about using generative learning models to improve mathematical communication skills, even in classes with lower mathematics achievement levels.

This research aims to describe the mathematical communication skills in writing of junior high school students in grade VIII in solving the problems of Theorem Pythagoras. The method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method. The subjects of this study numbered 31 students and were categorized in groups of very high, high, medium, low and very low female students. The results showed that students who had mathematical communication skills in a very high group were students who were very able to meet the four indicators tested with an average percentage of 83%. The mathematical communication skills of students in the high group are students who are able to meet the four indicators tested with an average total percentage of 70%. The mathematical communication skills of students in the moderate group are students who are sufficiently able to meet the four indicators tested with an average total percentage of 51%. The mathematical communication skills of students in the lower group were students who were less able to meet the four indicators tested with an average total percentage of 32%. The mathematical communication skills of students in the very low group were students who had not been able to meet the four indicators tested with an average total percentage of 17%.

This study uses a quasi-experimental method. The population was all grade VII students of SMPN 1 Unggul Darul Imarah. Sampling using random sampling, which consists of two classes, namely class VII-6 as the experimental class and class VII-5 as the control class. Data collection used a test sheet of mathematical communication skills. Data analysis using t-test. The results of the study were: (1) based on the results of the t-test, it was found that the students' mathematical communication skills taught by the SAVI approach were better than those taught by conventional learning in class VII SMPN 1 Unggul Darul Imarah; (2) based on the comparison of the results of the pre-test and post-test, it shows that there is a positive influence on mathematical communication skills after being taught with the SAVI approach.

This research aims to analyze students' mathematical communication skills in solving mathematical problems based on their self-confidence. This research was a qualitative research method with descriptive approach. This research was conducted at one of junior high school in Muaro Jambi, Jambi, Indonesia. The research subjects were six students consisting of two students with high self-confidence category, two students with medium category, and two students with low category who were selected using purposive sampling technique. This research used student self-confidence questionnaires, problem-solving tests, and interviews to confirm the level of students' mathematical communication skills. The data were analyzed by descriptive technique. The results showed that the subjects with high self-confidence had met all indicators of mathematical communication skills, while the subjects with medium self-confidence had met three of four indicators of mathematical communication skills, and the subjects with low self-confidence only fulfill one of four indicators of mathematical communication skills.

Communication style is a way in which a person conveys messages or information. Pre-service teachers need to have good communication skills. Communication is one of the keys to the effectiveness of a learning process. Mathematical communication is divided into two, namely written communication and oral communication. Interactive learning videos are one of the alternative media used in online learning. This study aims to describe the mathematical communication style of pre-service teachers in conveying the material of Inequalities through interactive learning videos. This study uses a qualitative approach. The purposive sampling technique was chosen as the sampling method. The subjects of this study consisted of three students from the mathematics education study program FKIP UNISMA, each of which represented a different cohort level, namely semesters 2, 4, and 6. The results of the three subjects have a distinctive and different communication style in explaining the material of Absolute-Value Inequalities. Based on data analysis, the first student’s communication style tends to be non-assertive, the second student has a manipulative communication style, and the third student’s communication style tends to be more assertive.

Learning mathematics equips students with the necessary competencies, and mathematical communication abilities allow them to discuss and exchange mathematical ideas with others. Correspondingly, research is needed into ways to help students develop these skills. These data were collected from 87 students in grade 10 at An Nhon Tay High School in the Cu Chi neighborhood of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. These students took part in a quasi-experimental study whose goal was to determine how a four-step learning model that included activities using the ACODESA method and mind maps affected the student’s ability to communicate mathematically. In the experimental group, students were taught using the learning mentioned above model, while those in the control group received traditional instruction. To determine the efficacy of this teaching strategy, a quasi-experiment that included a pre-test, a treatment, and a post-test was designed and carried out. The student’s development in mathematical and linguistic activities was evaluated using both quantitative and qualitative analyses of the data that was gathered. Data gathered may shed light on how effective the learning model is in helping high school students enhance their mathematical communication skills. Also, the pre-test and post-test items from the supplementary data files can be a starting point for creating new learning tasks to evaluate students’ mathematical communication abilities.

What assures that a mathematical representation of a word problem is correct? The response of problem solvers to a request like "Explain your answer" does not necessarily provide assurance. Instead, we complement the traditional algebraic word problem with a request to establish a mathematical representation generalizing the problem situation and then to justify the derivation of this mathematical representation. Next, we suggest to construct a valid deductive argument and evaluate the justification. We give three examples of executing the suggestion. This contribution will increase the resources available to school teachers wishing to engage students in reasoning-and-proving activity. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study determines the effect of video-assisted Discovery Learning on the mathematical communication skills of junior high school students. The research sample was determined by cluster random sampling of the seventh-grade students of SMP Negeri 29 Semarang, Indonesia. The research data were analyzed using a two-way analysis of variance (ANOVA), continued with the Scheffe test. The results showed that: (i) the Discovery Learning model assisted by video learning had a significant effect on the mathematical communication abilities of students (F = 11,926; P = 0.05); (ii) there were differences in the mathematical communication ability between students using the Discovery model and those using conventional models (F = 9,729; P = 0.05); and (iii) there were differences in the mathematical communication skills of students watching instructional videos and those who did not (F = 8,592; P = 0.05). The authors conclude that the Discovery Learning model assisted by instructional videos is more effective and has a significant effect on the mathematical communication abilities of secondary high school students.

This article presents an investigation, developed from a questionnaire, whose aim is to verify if and how mathematics teachers use writing in the classroom. After analyzing the answers, we verified that the writing of the students is still little used by these teachers in their teaching methodology, and among those who said that they use it only a few described how they do it. The study showed the importance of deepening this topic in the initial and continuing training of these teachers, discussing the possibilities and advantages of using writing in class.

Peer assessment is an underutilized tool in mathematics classrooms. We examined how peer assessment could be used in a mathematics course to improve mathematical communication and mathematical proficiency. To describe in what ways peer reviews compared to teacher reviews, we analyzed ratings and feedback of 32 6th graders and their mathematics teacher. To determine what impact receiving peer versus teacher feedback had on students, we compared the revision quality and mathematical problem-solving abilities of students who received feedback from four peers to those who received feedback from their teacher. The findings indicated that middle school students can provide feedback just as helpful in improving mathematical communication and problem-solving ability as the teacher. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Mathematical education in general, and mathematics education at high schools in particular, creates favorable conditions for students to develop essential and core competencies and assists students in improving their mathematical competence as a foundation for good learning. It also promotes necessary skills for society, in which mathematical communication skills are essential skills. The purpose of the research is to enhance students' mathematical communication skills while studying ellipse topics. In this study, 87 students in the tenth grade were tested to see if the teaching process for accelerating the development of mathematical communication skills related to ellipse topics was effective and possible. Students in the experimental class were instructed using a four-step learning model with the activities regarding the ACODESA method and mind map, whereas students in the control class were guided using the conventional way of instruction. A study design involving a pre-test, a treatment, and a post-test was used to determine the effectiveness of this type of teaching approach. Quantitative and qualitative analyses of the gathered data assessed the students' progress in mathematical language activities. The findings indicated that most students' mathematical communication skills regarding ellipse topics had improved significantly. The learners towards the above process also showed a positive attitude. In addition, the research findings have important implications and recommendations.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the increase in the mathematical problem-solving (MPS), mathematical communication (MC), and self-proficiency (SPr) abilities of students by applying the team-assisted individualization type (TAI) of the cooperative and conventional learning models for the experimental and control classes. This is a quasi-experimental study comprising a sample of 50 and 42 students studying for an undergraduate degree in statistics for the experimental and control classes, respectively. Students’ mathematical prior knowledge (MPK) is grouped into three levels, namely high, medium, and low. The instruments used are the MPS test, the MC test, the self-proficiency scale, and observation sheets. Statistical analysis instruments used are parametric and non-parametric statistics, such as prerequisite tests for normality and homogeneity of variance, mean difference tests in two or more groups, the post hoc test, and description and interaction tests. The results showed an increase in MPS, MC, and SPr in the experimental class, which is higher than in the control class. Furthermore, there is no interaction between the experimental and control classes despite a significant correlation between MPS, MC, and MPS. These findings are relevant to mathematics and statistics teaching because it has been proven to improve students’ MPS, MC, and SPr; hence, learning outputs can be achieved objectively, specifically for operations research teaching.

This study discusses the development and effectiveness of game instruction on mathematical communication skills. This feature, developed using Microsoft PowerPoint, provides learning instructions with a chain game called algebra dominoes. The principles of independent learning and mastery learning are strategies in learning to ensure that students can learn independently during the Covid-19 pandemic. This study was developed based on Research & Development with systematic, comprehensive, and coherent stages through strict quality control through the Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation (ADDIE) design. The results showed that the domino algebra developed was feasible to be mass-produced and used in mathematics learning based on expert validity tests, user practicality tests, and effectiveness tests on students' mathematical communication skills. The effectiveness test results show that the algebraic dominoes games developed are proven to be useful in developing students' mathematical communication skills. The results showed that the increase in students' mathematical communication skills in the experimental class was better than in the control class. The use of game instructions can be the main alternative in designing mathematics learning during the Covid-19 pandemic, both online and offline. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
