This study explores the effectiveness of GeoGebra in enhancing students' understanding of vectors in mathematics education. The research compares traditional teaching methods with the application of GeoGebra to determine its impact on conceptual and procedural knowledge acquisition. Vectors are often challenging for students to grasp due to their…

We present an investigative activity that was set as part of a course of pre-service teachers of mathematics. The emphasis in the course was set on the importance of using the computerized technological tool for teaching the subject. The activity focused on investigating interesting geometrical conservation properties which are not known to the…

An Augmented Reality (AR) approach to creating a maths education app is the focus of this research. To turn the 2D floor plan into 3D objects, students will use their mobile devices to scan the cards. Students can have a better understanding of the 3D shape from various angles by interacting with virtual 3D items. Students can gain a deeper…

The paper's aim is to note a remarkable (and apparently unknown) relation for right triangles, its generalisation to arbitrary triangles and the possibility to derive these and some related relations by elimination using Groebner basis computations with a modern computer algebra system. (Contains 9 figures.)

Illustrates the importance of helping students explore and discover topics in geometry and shows how students who use Geometer's Sketchpad, a powerful computer drawing program, develop a better understanding of geometry. Describes several activities that use the technology to help students discover a wide range of geometric relationships. (AEF)

Suggests one possible way to combine the technological facility of the computer with students' natural abilities for concept formation. Describes the software the "Geometric preSupposer." (PK)

Describes some developmental changes in children's free creations with pattern blocks and demonstrates how to build on this natural interest to teach Logo programing. (PK)

Discusses the snowflake curve as a way to introduce the topic of sequences and series. Computer programs which produce graphic results are included. (PK)

This material describes a sequence of inquiry-based instruction with Logo that is designed to teach young children (fourth grade or younger) about pre-proof geometry. Pre-proof geometry includes concepts such as open versus closed paths, angles, lines, polygons, and relations among polygons. Inquiry-based instruction relies upon questions to help…

The purpose of this study was to determine whether an electronic geoboard, a computer-software program, could be used to assess youngsters' ability to discover facts and relationships in an unlabled and ambiguous situation. Subjects--108 children, ages 6 to 12--were enrolled in grades 1 to 6 in Norwood, New York. The electronic geoboard served as…

Use of a computer programming language in problem-solving activities provides an opportunity to examine how young children use a restricted set of language primitives. The generation, and execution of computer instructions was used as a verification stage in the problem-solution process. The metric is intended to provide a descriptive…

Techniques for estimating pi using the microcomputer are demonstrated. Four BASIC programs, coded from pi generating formulas, are compared for efficiency. (PK)

Discusses the golden ratio and how to make golden triangles using recursive Logo programs. Presents some outputs of the Penrose tile patterns. (YP)

Describes experiences for engineering students to develop spatial awareness and reasoning capability. Describes geometric modeling, basic geometric concepts, operations, surface modeling, and conclusions. (YP)

Describes a sequence of activities for experimenting with scaling and includes a method for revising any turtle graphic procedure so that it can be drawn to a variety of scales. (PK)
