Becker, Paul; Medwid, Mark – PRIMUS, 2021
Almost all finite groups encountered by undergraduates can be represented as multiplicative groups of concise block-diagonal binary matrices. Such representations provide simple examples for beginning a group theory course. More importantly, these representations provide concrete models for "abstract" concepts. We describe Maple lab…

Lahcen, Rachid Ait Maalem; Mohapatra, Ram – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2020
Requiring that students enrolled in college algebra to spend hours in a computer lab has been a practice in colleges and universities to improve success and retention. In part, because students come with different backgrounds, skills, and the computer lab environment allows for personalized supplemental instruction and tutoring. However, the way…

Johnson, Heather Lynn; Gardner, Amber; Smith, Amy; Olson, Gary; Wang, Xin – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2019
Opportunities matter when it comes to students' math attitudes and performance. Over two semesters, across treatment sections of college algebra students, we implemented a set of dynamic computer activities linking animations and graphs. Across all sections, we administered a fully online survey of students' attitudes toward math. Using mixed…

Nimtz, Jennifer L. – ProQuest LLC, 2018
Remedial/developmental and introductory university mathematics courses have a long history of high attrition rates. Recently, university administration and mathematics departments have been considering technological solutions, and one such solution is computer-adaptive-instruction (CAI). In fact, CAI has been touted as a "silver bullet"…

Caglayan, Günhan – Computers in the Schools, 2018
The purpose of this research study was to understand how mathematics majors make sense of similar matrices, a linear algebra topic that is rich in internal and external connections, in a series of in-depth qualitative interviews in a technology-assisted (MATLAB) learning environment. The study was also an attempt to develop a cognitive theory in…

Walker, Sylvia E. – Journal of Developmental Education, 2017
The purpose of this project was two-fold. First, it would provide an opportunity for students to complete the developmental math course sequence more quickly, thereby enabling students to proceed to a college-level mathematics course sooner. To accomplish this, the classroom was designed with computer-assisted homework courses that blended…

Deshler, Jessica; Fuller, Edgar – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2016
Approximately 30% of students entering West Virginia University (WVU) are not ready for college mathematics. The WVU Department of Mathematics has been tasked with remediating these students and has worked over the last decade to find the most efficient way to teach the Pre-College Algebra Workshop; the prerequisite course students must complete…

Oates, Greg; Sheryn, Louise; Thomas, Mike – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a technology-active introductory first year university mathematics course. The design principles underpinning the course are presented. The results of the implementation show some areas where the technology-active approach has proven of value, as well as improvements that can be made for…

Fuller, Edgar; Deshler, Jessica M.; Kuhn, Betsy; Squire, Douglas – PRIMUS, 2014
In 2007 the Department of Mathematics at our institution began developing a placement process designed to identify at-risk students entering mathematics courses at the College Algebra and Calculus levels. Major changes in our placement testing process and the resulting interventions for at-risk students were put in place in Fall of 2008. At the…
