Abstract This article presents a scoping review of the recent body of cross-national comparative studies in mathematics education from 2014–2023. Following qualitative content analysis of the full texts of 286 journal articles based on a deductive–inductive coding procedure, we identified four main themes: 1) curriculum and textbooks, 2) mathematics teacher education, 3) student mathematics learning, and 4) classroom practices. We first present a descriptive analysis of the general characteristics of the reviewed studies, including the research methods used, target school years, and geographic locations, before discussing the details of the four themes. We also suggest future research directions for each theme.
