Campbell, Tye G.; Zelkowski, Jeremy – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2020
Proof and argumentation are essential components of learning mathematics, and technology can mediate students' abilities to learn. This systematic literature review synthesizes empirical literature which examines technology as a support for proof and argumentation across all content domains. The themes of this review are revealed through analyzing…

Myers, Joseph; Trubatch, David; Winkel, Brian – PRIMUS, 2008
We discuss the introduction and teaching of partial differential equations (heat and wave equations) via modeling physical phenomena, using a new approach that encompasses constructing difference equations and implementing these in a spreadsheet, numerically solving the partial differential equations using the numerical differential equation…

Wilhelm, Jennifer Anne; Confrey, Jere – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
This paper reports a study designed to probe the abstraction ability that US Algebra I students can achieve in moving the concepts rate of change and accumulation between motion and money contexts. The Algebra I students used the technologies motion detectors and Interactive Banking software during a replacement unit focused on slope, ratio, and…
