Mathematical Thinking & Learning Journal Review
Aim & Scope
Mathematical Thinking and Learning is directed at researchers interested in mathematics education from the perspective of theories and research in mathematics, psychology, sociology, philosophy, anthropology, and information technology; with a focus on mathematical thinking, reasoning, and learning.
This journal seeks high-quality articles that address one or more of the following topics:
interdisciplinary studies on mathematical learning, reasoning or thinking, and their developments at all ages;
technological advances and their impact on mathematical thinking and learning;
studies that explore the diverse processes of mathematical reasoning;
new insights into how mathematical understandings develop across the life span, including significant transitional periods;
changing perspectives on the nature of mathematics and their impact on mathematical thinking and learning in both formal and informal contexts;
studies that explore the internationalization of mathematics education, together with other cross-cultural studies of mathematical thinking and learning;
studies of innovative instructional practices that foster mathematical learning, thinking, and development; and
theoretical and philosophical analyses of issues related to the previous topics.

This journal typically published empirical studies that employ qualitative designs. These articles often have limited authors and are written in about 24 pages. Their population is often primary or secondary focused. They tend to address contextual tasks, and students conceptual understanding of these tasks with hopes of influencing researchers, practitioners, and curriculum designers.
