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…

Traditional rote learning methods often fail to adequately develop reasoning skills in mathematics, particularly among pre-university students. This study addresses challenges in fostering mathematical reasoning abilities, as evidenced by declining TIMSS results and resistance to pedagogical innovations. My online teaching with GeoGebra (MyOT_G+)…

This study examines the impact of integrating GeoGebra software into teaching circle properties at the high school level, comparing it with traditional methods. Conducted over 8 weeks with 112 students aged 15-18, it included an experimental group using GeoGebra (56 students) and a control group with classical teaching methods (56 students). 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…

This article addresses the didactical effects of CAS assisted proofs in Danish upper secondary mathematics textbooks as a result of the 2005 reform that introduced CAS as a part of the upper secondary level curriculum (and examinations). Based on a reading of 33 upper secondary school mathematics textbooks, 38 instances of CAS assisted proofs are…

This is the final report of a year-long research project on the implementation of a guided inquiry approach using the Geometric Supposer, a microcomputer software series, to teach high school geometry in three Boston area suburbs during the 1985-1986 school year. The project assessed student learning and examined the many and varied issues…

Described are procedures for multiplying matrices using Logo. Examples of computer programming are included. (RH)

This paper is an attempt to draw on the thinking of a group of secondary school geometry teachers who are participants in the Laboratory Sites Study of the Educational Technology Center (ETC) at Harvard University. The purpose of the Lab Sites Study is to understand the process of implementing technology-enhanced guided exploration in school…

Provides examples from elementary mathematics principles which illustrate some of the advantages of an interactive mouse-driven animation. Explains the effectiveness of this approach with exercises dealing with a plane of waves and quadratic formulas. (ML)

Describes a process of mathematical investigation involving generalized Fibonacci sequences. Provides the derivation using expressions, BASIC programs, and numerical verification. (YP)

Discusses computer methods for finding roots of polynomials. The program provided finds rational roots and prints the roots as rational numbers. (PK)

Describes several ways to implement the NCTM Standards in technically enhanced classrooms. Presents examples from "Computer-Intensive Algebra." Provides suggestions for implementation. (YP)

Presents a program written in USCD Pascal that simulates a system routine. Illustrates standard and user defined boolean and string functions and string procedures. Details the processing operations. (CW)

This article investigates two common methods of determining the line of best fit and then expands on the techniques used in these methods to find the line of best fit by graphing, estimating and using a microcomputer. (PK)

Describes the results of three years of field-work and the prospects for change in algebra teaching as a consequence of using computers and calculators. Summarizes the structure of text materials, classroom organization, and students' responsibilities. (YP)
