Halverscheid, Stefan – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
In extra-curriculum activities, the nature of the instructor-learner relationship differs from that in class. This constellation, if accompanied by a smaller gap between the mathematical skills of tutor and learner, has an impact on motivational aspects and on the choice of contents in these activities: The use of problem questions of competition…

Sanchez, Ernesto; Sacristan, Ana Isabel – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
We present results from a study which investigated the influence of dynamic geometry-based activities in the development of proving skills (in geometry) in high-school students (15-16 years of age). After a 12-week course on Cabri and the writing of conjectures and proofs, students were asked to write and prove conjectures based on their…

Radford, Luis; Demers, Serge; Guzman, Jose; Cerulli, Michele – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
In this paper we report an analysis of a teaching sequence in which Grade 11 students were asked to produce some graphs corresponding to the relationship between time and distance of a cylinder moving up and down an inclined plane. The students were also asked to carry out the experience using a TI 83+ graphic calculator equipped with a sensor,…
