We present an investigation of the infinite sequences of numbers formed by calculating the pairwise averages of three given numbers. The problem has an interesting geometric interpretation related to the sequence of triangles with equal perimeters which tend to an equilateral triangle. Investigative activities of the problem are carried out in…

Geometric habits of mind (GHoM) are the approaches that individuals use to solve geometry problems. This study aimed to determine the effect of dynamic geometry software (DGS) in activating the GHoM of pre-service mathematics teachers. The study was conducted with six teacher candidates who were enrolled in a semester-long course titled…

This research explores two methods through which ten preservice math teachers develop an understanding of trigonometric values. Using the unit circle, preservice math teachers engage in knowledge-building activities such as paper folding and GeoGebra application. Grounded in Altman and Kidron's 2016 didactical design research, this study examines…

Conjecture formulation is crucial to mathematics education. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate challenges prospective mathematics teachers (PMTs) encounter when using GeoGebra to formulate geometrical conjecture. A qualitative case study was conducted with an exploratory strategy to provide a complete comprehension of the occurrence. Six…

The aim of this research is to examine preservice mathematics teachers' dispositions toward drawing geometric patterns in tasks and find out their perspectives on using these tasks for their future students. Sixty preservice mathematics teachers who enrolled in a methods course for 14 weeks participated in the research. The responses to the…

Integrating information and communication technology (ICT) in mathematics education has been increasingly recognized as a powerful tool for increasing students' interest and performance. It is widely discussed that students' understanding of mathematical ideas is not satisfactory, especially in terms of conceptual understanding. Using narrative…

This study explores university students' understanding of the relationships between formal definitions of the limit of a function and the limit of a sequence in terms of the accumulation point in a technology-enhanced collaborative learning environment. The participants of this study are 17 prospective mathematics teachers. The data are collected…

The study aims to investigate prospective middle school mathematics teachers' mental actions related to debugging, which is one of the computational thinking skills in the modeling process. The study was conducted with a single-case embedded model. The collaborative working group consisted of three prospective mathematics teachers selected by…

There has been a large amount of research about the impact of dynamic geometry software (DGS) on the learning of mathematics mainly related to different representations of mathematical concepts and functional dependences. This paper goes beyond these investigations by suggesting meaningful connection and integration of DGS with physical resources…

Pre-service mathematics teacher (PST) education often addresses within Geometry Classes how to utilize Dynamic Geometric Software (DGS). Other classes may also incorporate teaching pre-service teachers about the history of mathematics. Although research has documented the use of Dynamic Geometric Software (DGS) in teaching the history of…

This article presents a didactic situation focused on geometric reasoning using 3D GeoGebra, using the concepts Theory of Didactical Situations (TDS). The objective of this work is to bring a didactic proposal for the teaching of Spatial Geometry, working with the students' geometric perception, oriented and elaborated based on the dialectic of…

To fulfill the Standards for Mathematical Practice (National Governors Association Center for Best Practices & Council of Chief State School Officers [NGA Center & CCSSO], 2010), it is important for teachers to empower students to critique, revise, and expand their ideas as they solve problems. However, students often face challenges such…

This study aimed to explore the effects of an instructional intervention in which GeoGebra and the think-pair-share method were used to teach the relationship between the graph of a parametric curve and the derivatives of its component functions. The participants in the study were 19 prospective mathematics teachers. To assess the understanding of…

Too often, high school algebra students encounter topics in a discrete, disconnected fashion. In the authors' first years of teaching, they found students to be adept at solving problems they were currently studying; for instance, they could solve quadratics during a quadratics unit. Too often, however, students struggled with that same content…

In this study, we examined a mathematics teacher's communicative acts on an instant messaging tool, WhatsApp, and its role in creating a sustained learning environment between secondary-school students and a teacher in Turkey. The interactions of a mathematics teacher and his students (n = 38) over two years were explored. The WhatsApp group…
