Hemer, David – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
This paper describes an investigation looking at the underlying mathematics of poker machines. The aim of the investigation is for students to get an appreciation of how poker machines are designed to ensure that in the long-term players will inevitably lose when playing. The first part of this paper describes how students can model a simple poker…

Sinclair, Nathalie; Patterson, Margaret – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2018
The goal of this paper is to explore dynamic geometry environments (DGE) as a type of computer programming language. Using projects created by secondary students in one particular DGE, we analyse the extent to which the various aspects of computational thinking--including both ways of doing things and particular concepts--were evident in their…

Albano, Giovannina; D'Apice, Ciro; Tomasiello, Stefania – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
A Mathematica[TM] package is described that uses simulations and animations to illustrate key concepts in harmonic oscillation and electric circuits for students not majoring in physics or mathematics. Students are not required to know the Mathematica[TM] environment: a user-friendly interface with buttons functionalities and on-line help allows…
