Bradley Graeme Welch; Juan Carlos Ponce Campuzano – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
In this paper, we explore how the typical second year undergraduate topic of matrix diagonalisation can be applied to solve a geometric problem which arises frequently in Vector Calculus: to find the curve of intersection of a plane and a surface. We use GeoGebra, which offers a cost-free and dynamic interface, to explore a specific variant of…

Jonathan Troup; Hortensia Soto; Aubrey Kemp – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
This study investigates the embodied, symbolic, and formal reasoning of two fourth-year university students while exploring geometric reasoning about the Cauchy-Riemann equations with the aid of "Geometer's Sketchpad (GSP)." These students participated in a teaching activity designed to encourage shifts between embodied, symbolic, and…

Roneet Merkin – PRIMUS, 2024
This paper reports on a novel corequisite design and implementation for College Algebra at Florida International University. The corequisite course uses online, just-in-time, prerequisite assignments delivered on an open-educational platform. Students get help from near-peer learning assistants inside a math emporium environment. The course…

Parhusip, Hanna A.; Purnomo, Hindriyanto D.; Nugroho, Didit B.; Kawuryan, Istiarsi S. S. – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
This paper explains teaching modern geometry for schools using software called Surfer and converting the algebraic surfaces into Batik motifs as one example of teaching mathematics with the integration of STEAM. Typical algebraic surfaces known in schools were, for example, cylinders and spheres which are identified as traditional geometry in this…

Guillermo Bautista Jr.; Mathias Tejera; Thierry Dana-Picard; Zsolt Lavicza – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
On the one hand, mathematical software is ubiquitous in mathematics education. On the other hand, word problems are an important part of the curriculum, and they often require modelling skills. This is especially true with optimisation and extrema problems proposed to high school and undergraduate students. We propose two activities around extrema…

Owusu, Raphael; Bonyah, Ebenezer; Arthur, Yarhands Dissou – Cogent Education, 2023
This study sought to examine the impact of dynamic mathematics software, GeoGebra, on university mathematics students' understanding of polar coordinates. A quasi-experimental design with an equivalent group of 42 participants in each group was used. A simple random sampling approach was used to select the 84 participants from the population and a…

Attila Körei; Szilvia Szilágyi; Ingrida Vaiciulyte – Problems of Education in the 21st Century, 2023
Considering Gen Z's learning needs, primarily focusing on bachelor IT students, a STEAM-based methodology was developed and tested for teaching and learning the principal properties of the cardioid curve. The four-component methodology is based on visuality and combines frontal teaching techniques with educational robotics, dynamic geometry…

Selin Urhan; Yilmaz Zengin – International Journal of Research in Undergraduate Mathematics Education, 2024
The purpose of this study is to examine the performances of university students' using dynamic mathematics software GeoGebra in argumentations and proving processes. A task related to the limit involving "sinx/x" was designed and 18 university students worked on the task during the collaborative learning, scientific debate, and…

Gabour, Manal – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this article special sequences involving the Butterfly theorem are defined. The Butterfly theorem states that if M is the midpoint of a chord PQ of a circle, then following some definite instructions, it is possible to get two other points X and Y on PQ, such that M is also the midpoint of the segment XY. The convergence investigation of those…
