The March issue of International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education is out, and it displays nine articles:

Educational Studies in Mathematics has already published the March issue of this year, with the following articles:

Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education is arguably one of the most prestigious journals within our field, and it has just published the first issue of this year. There are five interesting articles in this issue:

ZDM – The International Journal on Mathematics Education (formerly known as Zentralblatt für Didaktik der Mathematik) has released their first issue of this year, with the theme: “From Patterns to Generalization: Development of Algebraic Thinking”. The issue has the following contents (only the titles are displayed here – click on the links to investigate further!):

• Generalization in algebra: the foundation of algebraic thinking and reasoning across the grades
• Early algebra and mathematical generalization
• The effect of different representations on Years 3 to 5 students’ ability to generalise
• Algebraic thinking with and without algebraic representation: a three-year longitudinal study
• Elementary school students engaging in making generalisation: a glimpse from a Singapore classroom
• Middle school children’s cognitive perceptions of constructive and deconstructive generalizations involving linear figural patterns
• Iconicity and contraction: a semiotic investigation of forms of algebraic generalizations of patterns in different contexts
• Seventh-grade students’ representations for pictorial growth and change problems
• “Rising to the challenge”: using generalization in pattern problems to unearth the algebraic skills of talented pre-algebra students
• The role of examples in forming and refuting generalizations
• En route from patterns to algebra: comments and reflections

International Journal of Mathematics Education in Science and Technology has published their first issue this year, and it has the following original articles:

The first issue of The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast this year includes a forum for “ethics and values in mathematics, teaching and learning”. There are also a number of interesting feature articles:
