Kaneko, Masataka; Yamashita, Satoshi; Kitahara, Kiyoshi; Maeda, Yoshifumi; Nakamura, Yasuyuki; Kortenkamp, Ulrich; Takato, Setsuo – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2015
Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) is a powerful tool which enables students to move geometric objects interactively. Through experimental simulations with DGS, mathematical facts and background mechanisms are accessible to students. However, especially when those facts and mechanisms are complicated, it is not so easy for some students to record and…

Méxas, José Geraldo Franco; Bastos Guedes, Karla; da Silva Tavares, Ronaldo – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2014
The representation of figures in mongean projection (double system planned orthographic projection used in the studies of Descriptive Geometry), specially when placed in a particular situation in relation to the projection plans, possesses the quality that, through them, the actual dimensions of represented spatial objects can be found directly…

Zhou, Lutong; Braun, W. John – Journal of Statistics Education, 2010
The increasing popularity of R is leading to an increase in its use in undergraduate courses at universities (R Development Core Team 2008). One of the strengths of R is the flexible graphics provided in its "base" package. However, students often run up against its limitations, or they find the amount of effort to create an interesting plot may…

Valero-Mora, Pedro M.; Ledesma, Ruben D. – Journal of Statistics Education, 2011
This paper discusses the use of interactive graphics to teach multivariate data analysis to Psychology students. Three techniques are explored through separate activities: parallel coordinates/boxplots; principal components/exploratory factor analysis; and cluster analysis. With interactive graphics, students may perform important parts of the…

Marasinghe, Mervyn; Duckworth, William M.; Shin, Tae-Sung – Journal of Statistics Education, 2004
This paper extends work on the construction of instructional modules that use graphical and simulation techniques for teaching statistical concepts (Marasinghe, et al. 1996; Iversen and Marasinghe 2001). These modules consist of two components: a software part and a lesson part. A computer program written in LISP-STAT with a highly interactive…
