Tim Erickson – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
This is the first of four columns by Tim Erikson which introduces us to the Common Online Data Analysis Platform (CODAP). CODAP is a free, web-based software tool that your students can use for many types of tasks. This first column shows how CODAP can be used for mathematical modelling and where it might fit with the "Australian Curriculum:…

Wares, Arsalan – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2021
The purpose of this article is to describe a couple of challenging mathematical problems that involve paper folding. These problem solving tasks can be used to foster geometric and algebraic thinking among students. The context of paper folding makes some of the abstract mathematical ideas involved relatively concrete. When implemented…

Tim Erickson – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2023
At the school level statistics begins with exploratory data analysis, or EDA. Statistical learning goes on to include statistical inference, which will be discussed in the second part of this article. In this article, the author will talk about EDA and CODAP. EDA can be thought of as looking for patterns in data using graphs and simple statistics…

Kevin Larkin; Ilyse Resnick; Thomas Lowrie – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2024
Patterns are a fundamental component of mathematics, and the patterning ability of young children has been well researched; however, this research has largely been conducted with relatively small cohorts (±70) and in an interventionist way (in laboratory settings or with researchers directly intervening in educational contexts). The current study…

Scott Cameron; Lynda Ball; Vicki Steinle – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2024
In Victoria, Australia, senior secondary mathematics students are expected to use technology and thus need to make decisions about using pen-and-paper (P&P) or technology when solving mathematics problems. The predominant technology is a Computer Algebra System (CAS). This study investigated the beliefs about CAS held by twelve Year 11…

Peter Curtis; Brett Moffett; David A. Martin – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2024
In this article, the authors explore how the 3C Model can be used to integrate other curriculum areas with mathematics, namely digital technologies. To illustrate the model, they provide a practical example of a teaching sequence. T he 3C Model is designed to create opportunities for applying reasoning and problem-solving skills and learning…

Symons, Duncan; Pierce, Robyn – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
This is the first article in a series of two that offers some excellent advice for schools and teachers about how thoughtful and purposeful integration of technology can benefit mathematics classrooms. Several important principles to be considered are examined. [For the second article, "Beyond Fluency: Promoting Mathematical Proficiencies…

Fowler, Samuel; O'Keeffe, Lisa; Cutting, Chelsea; Leonard, Simon – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
Understanding spatial reasoning is important to success in mathematics. This article shows how the proficiency strands in the "Australian Curriculum: Mathematics" provide the tools needed for effective teaching and learning of spatial thinking.

John Corry Werth; Peter Charles Sinclair Taylor; Elisabeth Taylor – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2024
Over the past 20 years, the authors have designed an interdisciplinary approach that integrates Arts-based methods into STEM education. This integrated STEAM education perspective is particularly useful for enabling students to develop (i) not only their traditional scientific (and mathematical) understanding of the outer world but also (ii) their…

Oslington, Gabrielle; McDonald, Finn – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
Co-written by a student and his teacher, this article illustrates how a carefully structured individual education program supported by appropriate software can provide suitable challenges for a gifted Year 3 student. While the focus is on one student's statistical investigation, the story has relevance to the wider primary school environment.

Tobin, Patrick C.; Weiss, Vida – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2016
The use of handheld CAS technology in undergraduate mathematics courses in Australia is paradoxically shrinking under sustained disapproval or disdain from the professional mathematics community. Mathematics education specialists argue with their mathematics colleagues over a range of issues in course development and this use of CAS or even…

Thompson, Ian – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2017
In this paper, an example is offered of a problem-solving task for senior secondary school students which was given in the context of a story. As the story unfolds, the task requires progressively more complex forms of linear programming to be applied. Coding in MATLAB is used throughout the task in such a way that it supports the increasing…

Pierce, Robyn; Bardini, Caroline – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2015
Since the 1990s, computer algebra systems (CAS) have been available in Australia as hand-held devices designed for students with the expectation that they will be used in the mathematics classroom. The data discussed in this paper was collected as part of a pilot study that investigated first year university mathematics and statistics students'…

English, Lyn; Watson, Jane – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2014
Students explored variation and expectation in a probability activity at the end of the first year of a 3-year longitudinal study across grades 4-6. The activity involved experiments in tossing coins both manually and with simulation using the graphing software, "TinkerPlots." Initial responses indicated that the students were aware of…
