We present an innovative educational design for basic arithmetic that responds to students' documented difficulties with adding and subtracting single-digit positive and negative numbers. The design utilizes MOVES, a technological architecture that combines floor- and wall-projected interactive interfaces. Students enact arithmetic operations,…

This paper describes a study for teaching number system in a computer arithmetic course and addresses the existing gap in the current course by focusing on the characteristics of applications. A redundant residue number system (RRNS) is an efficient and innovative number system that inherits the interesting properties of both residue number system…

Currently, there is a rapid development of artificial intelligence systems that can solve and explain the solution of mathematical problems in the same way as students do. The problem of organizing interaction of artificial and human intelligence which does not lead to the degradation of the student's thinking skills arises. The article proposes…

Decimals and the related areas of ratio and proportion are recognised as one of the most challenging and complex areas of mathematics for young children to learn. In this study, four dynamic digital representations were used by Year 4 (9-10 years old) students in a set of video-recorded, individual task-based interviews to explore key concepts of…

The usage of digital media, especially tablet apps, is currently a major concern in educational settings. A controversial discussion is also taking place in relation to mathematics education at primary schools. While on the one hand there are empirical findings on helpful isolated examples and related subject-didactic potentials of digital media,…

Urban and rural children have different levels of performance in arithmetic processing. This study investigated whether such a residence difference can be explained by phonological processing. A total of 1,501 Chinese primary school students from urban and rural areas were recruited to complete nine cognitive tasks: two in arithmetic performance…

While response time and accuracy indicate overall performance, their value in uncovering cognitive processes, underlying learning, is limited. A promising online measure, designed to track decision-making, is computer mouse tracking, where mouse attraction towards different locations may reflect the consideration of alternative response options.…

This experience has taken place at the School of Education of the Universidad Complutense de Madrid. The goals of the subjects considered are to show how the computer can help in the teaching-learning process in Primary and/or Secondary Education and to clarify and strengthen the mathematical concepts of our students. Mastering a specific…
