We are pleased to present Volume 1, Issue 2 of the International Journal of Mathematics Teaching and Interdisciplinary Practices. The eight studies in this issue address current topics including artificial intelligence, dynamic geometry, digital and narrative-based games, mathematical reasoning, problem posing, multiple representations, and school-based learning environments.

The articles examine the quality of GeoGebra activities, students’ attitudes toward artificial intelligence, the contribution of games to engagement and problem solving, preservice teachers’ use of ChatGPT in activity design, and ways of connecting mathematics with everyday life. We hope these studies will contribute to mathematics education research and classroom practice.

We sincerely thank the authors for their valuable contributions and the reviewers for their rigorous and constructive evaluations.

The inaugural issue of IJMTIP brings together studies that connect mathematics teaching with emerging approaches and classroom realities. Across the issue, authors examine the potential of AI-supported resources (mathematics-themed P4C stories) for learning and thinking, the role of visual/narrative-based instruction (e.g., cartoon-supported teaching) in achievement and attitudes, and how divided attention shapes students’ engagement with mathematics. The issue also highlights technology-enhanced mathematical modeling environments and their influence on pre-service teachers’ professional noticing. In addition, a review article synthesizes current trends in assessing mathematical modeling competencies, offering a coherent snapshot of methods and tools used in the field.
