This study aims to map the landscape of the importance of previous research on computational thinking (CT) in mathematics learning over the last decade. This research is a literature review research, there are 113 publications collected from the Scopus database which are then analyzed using the bibliometric analysis method assisted by the…

Trigonometry is an important part of secondary school mathematics, but it is usually challenging for students to understand and learn. Since trigonometry is learned and used at a university level in many fields, like physics or geodesy, it is important to have an insight into students' trigonometry knowledge before the beginning of the university…

As we move further into the digital age, the acquisition of digital literacy (DL) and computational thinking (CT) skills is emerging internationally as an essential goal for students in contemporary school curricula. As the world becomes more uncertain and volatile due to impacts of artificial intelligence (AI), international unrest, climate…

The author urges that the tie between mathematics departments and computer science be severed and that computer science become a separate and independent department. Then mathematics teachers can better address mathematics curriculum changes appropriate to the computer age and computer activities that support and enhance mathematics instruction.…

The need for the instruction of computer literacy in schools is advocated, along with programing courses beyond this basic level. (MP)

Mathematics teachers should be teaching computer science and using the computer to enhance their teaching of mathematics. Furthermore, the computer mandates curricular reform in mathematics. (MNS)

Shows how, with little or no electrical background, students can apply Boolean algebra concepts to design and build integrated electrical circuits in the classroom that will reinforce important ideas in mathematics. (PK)

Provides results from a 1983 survey of secondary mathematics education in Wisconsin. Questions refer to graduation requirements, curriculum topics, nature of geometry classes, metric system, computers, and calculators. Items also collected data on district mathematics committees, policies, competency exams, computer access, and the nature of…

Presents noncalculus approximation techniques for two normal distribution problems. These methods may be useful projects for lower-level undergraduate statistics and computer science students. (PK)

The belief that computer science should have a profound effect on undergraduate mathematics is proposed. It is also reported that alternatives to the standard curriculum would give discrete analysis an equivalent role to that now played by calculus in the first two years. (MP)

Discussed is computer use at High Valley, a small private tutorial school in rural Dutchess County, New York. (MP)

A description is given of a supplemental unit for a primary level computer literacy class in which a play is produced with all students taking roles as parts of a computer. (MP)

A framework for a computer literacy module is detailed, through a description of one that has evolved in schools in Fairport, New York. It is noted that the availability of computer-literacy instructional materials is increasing substantially, but a specific curriculum is sorely lacking. (MP)

Summarizes the history and issues behind a decision by the Department of Education of Ireland to officially include computer studies as an optional component of the school mathematics curriculum. Describes current use of microcomputers. (DC)

Shows by means of a mathematical example how algorithmic thinking and mathematical thinking complement each other. An algorithmic approach can lead to questions that deepen the understanding of mathematics material. (DDR)
