Characteristics of Effective Elementary Mathematics Instruction: A Scoping Review of Experimental Studies
This study determined the characteristics of effective interventions in elementary school mathematics education. The results suggest that effective elementary school mathematics instruction should foster students’ conceptual understanding and procedural fluency through problem-solving, active learning, and mathematical games. This can be achieved through a dynamic alternation of whole-class instruction and cooperative and individual learning with the use of manipulatives and visualizations to reach the level of abstraction.
