Dello Iacono, Umberto – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2022
Argumentative and proving skills are considered key competencies in mathematics. Collaborative learning activities, by fostering students' production of conjectures and arguments, could contribute strongly to the development of these skills. In this paper, we present the design of a e-learning collaborative environment, whose goal is to promote in…

Abramovich, Sergei; Brouwer, Peter – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2009
This paper was developed with the goal of enhancing the mathematical preparation of secondary school teachers in the technological paradigm. It shows how two-variable inequalities can be utilized as models for the construction of geometric objects using the software Graphing Calculator 3.5 (produced by Pacific Tech) as a relation grapher. An…
