Pan, Yanjun; Ke, Fengfeng; Dai, Chih-Pu – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2023
Although prior research has highlighted the significance of representations for mathematical learning, there is still a lack of research on how students use multimodal external representations (MERs) to solve mathematical tasks in digital game-based learning (DGBL) environments. This exploratory study was to examine the salient patterns problem…

Russo, Toby; Russo, James – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2022
This article provides a task that can be used effectively for exploring arrays in middle and upper primary schools, and the notion of prime and composite numbers in particular. As students are engaging in these activities, teachers can encourage them to record their arrays both diagrammatically and as number sentences.

Ji-Eun Lee; Caroline Byrd Hornburg; Jenny Yun-Chen Chan; Erin Ottmar – Grantee Submission, 2022
This study investigated the effects of (1) proximal grouping of numbers; (2) problem-solving goals to make 100; and (3) prior knowledge on students' initial solution strategies in an interactive online mathematics game. In this game, students transformed an initial expression into a perceptually different but mathematically equivalent goal state.…

Mark Applebaum – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Students often perceive mathematics as a challenging and abstract subject, leading to disengagement and anxiety. To address these challenges, educators have increasingly turned to math games as a pedagogical tool to make learning more interactive and enjoyable. This paper explores the potential of math games, particularly Bachet's game, as…

Mauntel, Matthew; Levine, Benjamin; Plaxco, David; Zandieh, Michelle – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2021
We present results of a grounded analysis of individual interviews in which students play Vector Unknown -- a digital game designed to introduce visualizing vectors, scaling vectors, vector addition, and vector equations, attending to the geometric and algebraic representations of vectors. The game was designed to be used at the beginning of a…

Quevedo Gutiérrez, Eduardo; Zapatera Llinares, Alberto – Education Sciences, 2021
The objective of this research is to study the "Scratch" programming language as a didactic tool to teach functions. The introduction of didactic tools allowing comprehension in simple and attractive ways is required. Given the traditional teaching/learning system, it is necessary to organize participatory and collaborative dynamic…
