Lagrange, Jean-Baptiste – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2014
From the early nineties, most reformed curricula at upper secondary level choose to give functions a major position and a priority over rational expressions and equations of traditional algebra. The goal of this paper is to introduce key challenges resulting from this choice and to discuss the contribution that software environments associating…

Beal, Carole R.; Rosenblum, L. Penny; Smith, Derrick W. – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2011
Fourteen students with visual impairments in Grades 5-12 participated in the field-testing of AnimalWatch-VI-Beta. This computer program delivered 12 prealgebra math problems and hints through a self-voicing audio feature. The students provided feedback about how the computer program can be improved and expanded to make it accessible to all users.…

Drijvers, Paul – Mathematics Teaching, 2011
Nowadays, many technological means are available to support teaching, such as the interactive whiteboard, class sets of laptop or netbook computers, and high speed internet access. For mathematics education there are advanced software packages for geometry, algebra, calculus, and statistics, which in many cases are available on line at no cost.…

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…

Gerny, Marianne; Alpers, Burkhard – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
In this article we describe a mathematical microworld for investigating car motion on a racing course and its use with a group of grade 12 students. The microworld is concerned with the mathematical construction of courses and functions which describe car motion. It is implemented in the computer algebra system, Maple[R], which provides the means…

Jaciw, Andrew P.; Cabalo, Jessica Villaruz; Vu, Minh-Thien – Grantee Submission, 2007
Introduction: The Maui Hawaii Educational consortium (the Maui School District and Maui Community College) sought scientifically based evidence for the effectiveness of the Cognitive Tutor (CT) Algebra I Curriculum to inform adoption decisions. Decision makers were particularly interested in whether the use of the CT program affects achievement of…
