Ng, Oi-Lam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
In this paper, I discuss the potential transformations to teach K-12 geometry topics with the technology of 3D Pens, which enabled 3D models to be created instantly via one's moving hands. I draw on an example of using constructionist learning activities with 3D Pens to teach young children, 'how tall is the triangle?'

Kocabas, Sezai; Zhu, Yi; Liang, Yiheng; Bofferding, Laura – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2022
Block building activities help develop students' spatial reasoning, but few studies focus on the development of block building skills beyond preschool. We worked with four kindergarten, four first grade, and four second grade students to learn more about their Lego block building. We compared students' accuracy, building strategies, and spatial…

Jones, V. Faye; Brown, Elizabeth Todd; Molfese, Victoria; Ferguson, Melissa C.; Jacobi-Vessels, Jill; Bertsch, Carey; Abraham, Tanya; Davis, Deborah Winders – Early Child Development and Care, 2015
Objective: Children from low-income families are often not well-prepared for kindergarten entry, especially in mathematical skills. Caregivers may lack the knowledge and confidence to teach early mathematical skills. The purpose of this study was to develop a parent-child activities-based mathematics learning programme and test its acceptability…

Furner, Joseph M.; Marinas, Carol A. – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2007
This paper discusses insights for using geometry sketching software to teach geometric concepts for kindergarten to grade 4. The authors created hands-on resources that incorporate technology in a user-friendly environment. When working with "Geometer's Sketchpad" with middle and high school students, the teacher educators noticed the…
