Abstract: This is a sample template to help authors with the submission style. Please keep
the abstract in italics, Times New Roman 12 points.

INTRODUCTION
In general, the style of MTRJ resembles the APA style. Here we reflect on the appearance of the
first page. The heathers and footers are provided here for to hep the authors manage the positions
of pictures and tables on the pages. Please keep the heathers and footers unchanged. Page
numbers will be adjusted during the editorial process.
Title and authors
Words in the title of the manuscript should be capitalized and written in Calibri Light (Headings)
bold, 16 points. Provide the original spelling of the names of the authors in Times New Roman
12 points.
Affiliations and email addresses
Affiliations and locations of the institutions are mandatory for accepted manuscripts and email
addresses are encouraged, at least the address of the corresponding author(s). In case of multiple
authors with multiple affiliations provide superscripts as in the example above. The order of the
authors can be either alphabetical or arranged based on authors’ contribution to the manuscript.

EQUATIONS
Equations should be numbered, editable and written in with consistent notation. Their style
should be consistent throughout the manuscript, especially if the variables or equations
appear in text. Here is an example of a text with equations.
We will solve the following integral

CONCLUSIONS
This concludes the main aspects of the style of the Mathematics Teaching-Research Journal.
While working on the style of the submission you may be inspired by the outline below for
checking the appropriateness of the content:
Abstract
Briefly describe the main objective of the research, the methodology and the most important
results
Introduction
Include your motivation or justification of the proposal. Present the research problem or other
studies. Set up the objectives. Optional: create a roadmap paragraph containing the structure of
the submission.
Literature Review
Structure the review by the fundamental pillars of the research area. Quote international studies,
not only local authors. Balance between classic studies and the most current ones. Should not
exceed 10-20% of the entire submission.
Method
Depending on the nature of the submission, describe the context, the sample of the
proposal/activity/, how the data was collected, provide the variables of the analysis, and their
character (deductive or inductive). Share and analyse students’ work. Do not forget the
assessment (formal and informal).
Results
Analyse the overall perspective of the development of the activity. Share the difficulties in the
course of implementation. Analyse each variable taken into account in the methodology.
Discussion and conclusions
Relate the results to the literature review. Review the objectives set up at the beginning of the
study. Make attempts to reflect on topics interesting to teachers, for example, how the results of

the study will change your teaching in the future or how various aspects of the study may
