Andrew Lehman – ProQuest LLC, 2024
Geometry is a strand of mathematics that can benefit individuals in many areas of life. Test results, such as the TIMSS results, indicate that geometry is an area for growth among American students. With a need for students to better understand geometry, several academic standards have been created to direct geometry instruction in the United…

Jose J. Jaramillo – ProQuest LLC, 2024
The purpose of my study was to determine the effectiveness of using dynamic geometry software while exploring the properties of quadrilaterals. Dynamic geometry software can be effective if used properly in the exploration process as students construct their own knowledge through constructivism. Students were given the Van Hiele Test as a pretest…

Bruce-Simmons, Christine – ProQuest LLC, 2013
This study examined the impact of computer-assisted instruction on the mathematics performance of underachieving fifth-grade students in a rural school district in South Carolina. The instructional technology program ([IF) is South Carolina's response to addressing the needs of its young, struggling math students. The 449 fifth-grade students in…

Smith, Ryan Cummings – ProQuest LLC, 2010
Prior research on students' uses of technology has suggested it can be used to support students' development of formal justifications and proofs. The ways in which these technologies influence the construction of arguments and proofs remain uncertain. Furthermore, research has not been conducted that compares the arguments students develop while…

Myers, Ron York, Sr. – ProQuest LLC, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of the use of technology on students' mathematics achievement, particularly the Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test (FCAT) mathematics results. Eleven schools within the Miami-Dade County Public School System participated in a pilot program on the use of Geometers Sketchpad (GSP). Three of…
