Kontorovich, Igor'; Li, Tianqing – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2023
Research into didactics of calculus has maintained a long-standing interest in students' grasp of the relations between definite integrals and areas. This study comes to contribute to this line of research by unpacking how students use the concept of area to find definite integrals. Specifically, we focus on mathematical situations where the…

Gabriel Gianni Cantanelli; Barbara A. Shipman – PRIMUS, 2024
Through galleries of graphs and short filmstrips, this paper aims to sharpen students' eyes for visually recognizing continuous functions. It seeks to develop intuition for what visual features of a graph continuity does and does not allow for. We have found that even students who can work correctly with rigorous definitions may not be able to…

Pitágoras Pinheiro de Carvalho; Afonso Norberto da Silva; Maria da Cruz Vieira da Silva; William Fernando da Silva Rodrigues – Discover Education, 2024
This work was developed to present constructive steps of multiple integrals using the open-source software Geogebra. The main focus was directed towards creating three-dimensional graphs of integrals through Riemann sums in two variables. Some practical examples are developed to demonstrate the reliability of the presented results, which are…

Philip Todd; Danny Aley – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
Music provides an excellent setting for students to explore trigonometric functions in a setting which is independent of their utility in resolving triangles. In this paper, we present several investigations using trigonometric functions to model musical phenomena. From a mathematical technology point of view, most examples require only function…

Ferrarello, Daniela; Gionfriddo, Mario; Grasso, Federico; Mammana, Maria Flavia – ZDM: Mathematics Education, 2022
The objective of this work is to show an educational path for combinatorics and graph theory that has the aim, on one hand, of helping students understand some discrete mathematics properties, and on the other, of developing modelling skills through a robust understanding. In particular, for the path proposed to middle-school students, we used a…

Parr, Erika David – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2023
The purpose of this study is to investigate how students interpret expressions from calculus statements in the graphical register. To this end, I conducted 150-minute clinical interviews with 13 undergraduate mathematics students who had completed at least one calculus course. In the interviews, students evaluated six calculus statements for…

Ozaltun-Celik, Aytug – LUMAT: International Journal on Math, Science and Technology Education, 2021
The concept of derivative is used in many areas including applied problems and requiring mathematical modelling in different disciplines. One of the most important approaches for teaching the derivative is to support students in visualizing the concept. Also, it is necessary to shift researchers and teachers' focuses to students' dynamic mental…

Dae S. Hong; Jae Ki Lee – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
This study examined college calculus instructors' preferences in solving two calculus tasks to examine college calculus instructors' use of important cognitive roots in understanding derivatives of function. Our results showed that only one instructor consistently uses cognitive roots while other instructors either focus on algebraic methods or…

Maria Al Dehaybes; Johan Deprez; Paul van Kampen; Mieke De Cock – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
This study investigated how students reason about the partial derivative and the directional derivative of a multivariable function at a given point, using different graphical representations for the function in the problem statement. Questions were formulated to be as isomorphic as possible in both mathematics and physics contexts and were given…

Sauerheber, Richard; Muñoz, Brandon; McCallum, Kalvin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
Graphical analysis of the relationships between pairs of integrals and their corresponding derivatives resulted in the development of a procedure one may describe as 'pictorial integration'. The arctangent of the derivative of various functions was analysed to confirm that this accurately reports the magnitude of angles made by integral functions…

Maria Al Dehaybes; Johan Deprez; Paul van Kampen; Mieke De Cock – Physical Review Physics Education Research, 2025
When learning physics, students need more than just an understanding of mathematical and physical concepts. Integrating the two fields is crucial, as research indicates that students often struggle even when they have a strong grasp of both. In this paper, we use the heat equation as an example from higher education. Given the importance of the…

Soosloff, Elisa; Huey, Maryann; Alexander, Daniel S. – PRIMUS, 2023
In this reflection of teaching, we describe a series of activities that introduce the Taylor series through dynamic visual representations with explicit connections to students' prior learning. Over the past several decades, educators have noted that curricular materials tend to present the Taylor series in a way that students often interpret as…

Smith, Joseph R.; Snapp, Bart; Madar, Savva; Brown, Jonathan R.; Fowler, Jim; Andersen, Maeve; Porter, Christopher D.; Orban, Chris – PRIMUS, 2023
We present a free student-facing tool for creating 3D plots and smartphone-based virtual reality (VR) visualizations for STEM courses. Visualizations are created through an in-browser interface using simple plotting commands. Then QR codes are generated, which can be interpreted with a free smartphone app, requiring only an inexpensive Google…

García-García, Javier; Dolores-Flores, Crisólogo – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2021
The aim of this research was to explore the mathematical connections that pre-university students make when they sketch the graph of a derivative function and an antiderivative function. Also, we tried to explain the origin of the mathematical connections identified. We assume mathematical connections as a cognitive process through which a person…

Sauerheber, Richard D.; Muñoz, Brandon – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A simple in-class demonstration of integral Calculus for first-time students is described for straightforward whole number area magnitudes, for ease of understanding. Following the Second Fundamental Theorem of the Calculus, macroscopic differences in ordinal values of several integrals, [delta]"F"(x), are compared to the regions of area…
