Fluck, Andrew E.; Ranmuthugala, Dev; Chin, C. K. H.; Penesis, Irene; Chong, Jacky; Yang, Yang; Ghous, Asim – Education and Information Technologies, 2020
The Calculus for Kids project was deliberately designed to use computers in the transformation of curriculum. The intervention used multi-media learning materials to assist teachers and Year 6 (aged 11-12 years) students understand the principles of integral calculus. They used Maple mathematics software to solve real-world problems using these…

Fluck, Andrew; Ranmuthugala, Dev; Chin, Chris; Penesis, Irene – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2012
Integral calculus is generally regarded as a fundamental but advanced aspect of mathematics, and it is not generally studied until students are aged about fifteen or older. Understanding the transformative potential of information and communication technology, this project undertook an investigation in four Australian schools to train students…
