Thierry Noah Dana-Picard; Sara Hershkovitz – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
Relying on the students' cultural background to teach mathematics may be a strong incitement for the learning process. This background can include artistic creations, items from the news, among others. Because of the strong presence of space related news (in particular the almost simultaneous launching of three spacecrafts towards Mars), we…

Mor, Yishay; Noss, Richard; Hoyles, Celia; Kahn, Ken; Simpson, Gordon – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
This paper reports on a design experiment in the domain of number sequences conducted in the course of the "WebLabs" project. We iteratively designed and tested a set of activities and tools in which 10-14 year old students used the "ToonTalk" programming environment to construct models of sequences and series, and then shared…

Edwards, Michael T. – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2004
This article advances a view of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) as powerful inquiry-based learning tools. Through an in-depth exploration of the "Emptying the Bowl" activity, upper level mathematics students test their own mathematical hypotheses, thoughtfully analyse and manipulate computer-generated output, and answer questions…
