Description

This study examined pre-service secondary mathematics teachers’ mathematical pedagogical content knowledge pertaining to the order of operations. The conceptual framework developed in this study has both theoretical and methodological significance and holds potential for further research on mathematical pedagogical content knowledge beyond the order of operations. The findings shed light on the participants' reasons for utilising the order of operations and identify misinterpretations they encountered. Furthermore, the study highlights the challenges faced by pre-service secondary mathematics teachers who lack mathematical pedagogical content knowledge when planning to teach the order of operations.

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
