Varsavsky, Cristina – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
Australian secondary school systems offer three levels of senior (year 12) mathematics studies, none of them compulsory: elementary, intermediate and advanced. The intermediate and advanced studies prepare students for further mathematics studies at university level. In the state of Victoria, there are two versions of intermediate mathematics: one…

Bokhove, Christian; Drijvers, Paul – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2012
The design and arrangement of appropriate automatic feedback in digital learning environment is a widely recognized issue. In this article, we investigate the effect of feedback on the design and the results of a digital intervention for algebra. Three feedback principles guided the intervention: timing and fading, crises, and feedback variation.…

Bokhove, Christian; Drijvers, Paul – For the Learning of Mathematics, 2010
The algebraic expertise that mathematics education is aiming for includes both procedural skills and conceptual understanding. To capture the latter, notions such as symbol sense, gestalt view and visual salience have been developed. We wonder if digital activities can be designed that not only require procedural algebraic skills, but also invite…

Bokhove, Christian – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2010
This article reports on research at the crossroads of on the one hand the procedural-conceptual cut in algebra in the transition from secondary education to higher education, and on the other hand the potential of ICT. Three key topics come together: algebra didactics (symbol sense), theories on tool use (instrumental genesis) and assessment…

Geiger, Vince; Faragher, Rhonda; Goos, Merrilyn – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2010
This paper draws on a one year study of three secondary school classrooms to examine the nature of student-student-technology interaction when working in partnership with computer algebra systems (CAS) on mathematical modelling tasks and the classroom affordances and constraints that influence such interaction. The analysis of these data indicates…

Hegedus, Stephen; Dalton, Sara; Brookstein, Arden; Tapper, John; Heller, Eric – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
The authors' proposed work builds upon 12+ years of research collectively known as the "SimCalc Projects." SimCalc Connected MathWorlds (SCM) combines two innovative technological ingredients to address core mathematical ideas in deep and sustainable ways for mathematics learners. Software that addresses content issues through dynamic…
