Son, Ji-Won; Hu, Qintong; Lim, Woong – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
Despite the importance of computational estimation skill for the improvement of number sense, little research exists on preservice teachers' estimation skills and their view on estimation in the US context. This study examined the computational estimation skill of 58 preservice elementary teachers (PSTs) and its relationship to their views of the…

Plaza, A.; Falcon, S. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
In this article, we consider some generalizations of Fibonacci numbers. We consider k-Fibonacci numbers (that follow the recurrence rule F[subscript k,n + 2] = kF[subscript k,n + 1] + F[subscript k,n]), the (k, l)-Fibonacci numbers (that follow the recurrence rule F[subscript k,n + 2] = kF[subscript k,n + 1] + lF[subscript k,n]), and the Fibonacci…

Dana-Picard, T. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2007
Two related sequences of definite integrals are considered. By mixing hand-work, computer algebra system assistance and websurfing, fine connections can be studied between integrals and a couple of interesting sequences of integers. (Contains 4 tables.)
