This study examined the opportunity to learn function transformations afforded by the GeoGebra applets available on the GeoGebra website. Our analysis focused on the functions and their representations through which function transformations are explored in these GeoGebra applets, the effects and components of transformations that the GeoGebra…

The present study aims to explore the effect of using dynamic mathematics software in a distance education environment on students' understanding of trigonometric functions. The sample of the study consists of 45 first-year students enrolled in two associate degree programs of a state university. In the research, the lessons in the experimental…

GeoGebra, a dynamic mathematics software, was used to study high school students' perceptions and achievements in learning trigonometric ratios. The study addresses a critical gap in the literature concerning the use of GeoGebra for understanding trigonometric concepts, particularly in fostering conceptual clarity and problem-solving skills.…

This paper provides some insights into the use of example-generating tasks in the design of a technology-rich learning environment to enhance students' mathematical thinking. The paper reports on an early stage of a design-based research project concerning the design of tasks and associated feedback utilising the affordances provided by a combined…

This research explores two methods through which ten preservice math teachers develop an understanding of trigonometric values. Using the unit circle, preservice math teachers engage in knowledge-building activities such as paper folding and GeoGebra application. Grounded in Altman and Kidron's 2016 didactical design research, this study examines…

This study explores the effectiveness of the GeoGebra on Grade 12 students' success in making associations between the representations of trigonometric functions and the interpretation of graphs. A technology-oriented classroom is a commanding and accommodating tool in mathematics instruction in understanding mathematical concepts. A…

This paper presents research activity in the solution of geometric tasks by mathematics teachers and by mathematics teacher trainees at a College of Education as part of an advanced courses. This activity tested the level of knowledge and ability to apply it in the solution of problems that can be solved in a number of ways: by using various tools…

In this paper, we introduce a technology-enhanced pedagogical sequence for supporting lower secondary school students' sense-making of the concept of volume in a non-procedural and non-formula-driven way. Specifically, we illustrate a novel approach of using dynamic geometric environment (DGE) to introduce the meaning of volume and then deriving…

The purpose of this paper is to follow the reasoning of high school students when asked to explain the standard trigonometric limit lim/[theta][right arrow] sin[theta]/[theta]. An observational study was conducted in four different phases in order to investigate if visualization, by means of an interactive technology environment (Geogebra), can…

The rapid development in the world of technology and communication has contributed directly to the teaching and learning process in schools. Therefore, a paradigm shift towards learning methods in the education system needs to be implemented to meet the educational aims of the 21st century. This is due to the current methods of delivery in…

This research aimed to examine the effect of collaboration Think Pair Share (TPS) Leaning Model and m-Learning based on Android on the understanding of trigonometry concepts and to investigate the interaction between collaborative learning and cognitive style on the understanding of trigonometry concepts. This research involved 80 pre-service…

Including opportunities for students to experience uncertainty in solving mathematical tasks can prompt learners to resolve the uncertainty, leading to mathematical understanding. In this article, we examine how preservice secondary mathematics teachers' thinking about a trigonometric relationship was impacted by a series of tasks that prompted…

We present results from a classroom-based intervention designed to help a class of grade 10 students (14-15 years old) learn proof while studying trigonometry in a dynamic geometry software environment. We analysed some students' solutions to conjecture-and-proof problems that let them gain experience in stating conjectures and developing proofs.…

A geometrical task is presented with multiple solutions using different methods, in order to show the connection between various branches of mathematics and to highlight the importance of providing the students with an extensive 'mathematical toolbox'. Investigation of the property that appears in the task was carried out using a computerized tool.

Dynamic geometry software can help teachers highlight mathematical relationships in ways not possible with static diagrams. However, these opportunities are mediated by teachers' abilities to construct sketches that focus users' attention on the desired variant or invariant relationships. The study described in this paper looked at two cohorts of…
