Hegedus, Stephen J.; Otálora, Yenny – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2023
Our research aimed to investigate the potential learning benefits to young children of implementing digital interactive multimodal technologies that provide both visual and haptic experiences in elementary mathematics classrooms. We studied the ways in which fourth-grade students collaboratively create collective strategies for solving…

Baccaglini-Frank, Anna – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2021
This paper focuses on students' mathematical discourse emerging from interactions in the digital environment GeoGebra, in which one can construct virtual objects that realize mathematical signifiers and then interact with them. These virtual object realizations can become "dynamic interactive mediators" (DIMs) that influence the…

Tall, David – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2008
Jim Kaput lived a full life in mathematics education and we have many reasons to be grateful to him, not only for his vision of the use of technology in mathematics, but also for his fundamental humanity. This paper considers the origins of his "big ideas" as he lived through the most amazing innovations in technology that have changed our lives…

Hegedus, Stephen J.; Penuel, William R. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2008
Wireless networks are fast becoming ubiquitous in all aspects of society and the world economy. We describe a method for studying the impacts of combining such technology with dynamic, representationally-rich mathematics software, particularly on participation, expression and projection of identity from a local to a public, shared workspace. We…

Ruthven, Kenneth; Deaney, Rosemary; Hennessy, Sara – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2009
From preliminary analysis of teacher-nominated examples of successful technology-supported practice in secondary-school mathematics, the use of graphing software to teach about algebraic forms was identified as being an important archetype. Employing evidence from lesson observation and teacher interview, such practice was investigated in greater…

Schorr, Roberta Y.; Goldin, Gerald A. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2008
This research focuses on some of the affordances provided by SimCalc software, suggesting that its use can have important consequences for students' mathematical affect and motivation. We describe an episode in an inner-city SimCalc environment illustrating our approach to the study of affect in the mathematics classroom. We infer students'…

Falcade, Rossana; Laborde, Colette; Mariotti, Maria Alessandra – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2007
Assuming that dynamic features of Dynamic Geometry Software may provide a basic representation of both variation and functional dependency, and taking the Vygotskian perspective of semiotic mediation, a teaching experiment was designed with the aim of introducing students to the idea of function. This paper focuses on the use of the Trace tool and…

Marrades, Ramon; Gutierrez, Angel – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2000
Presents an analytic framework to describe and analyze students' answers to proof problems. Employs the framework to investigate ways in which dynamic geometry software can be used to improve students' understanding of the nature of mathematical proof and improve their proof skills. (Author/MM)

Jones, Keith – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2000
Reports data from a longitudinal study of 12-year-old students' interpretations of geometrical objects and relationships when using dynamic geometry software. Focuses on the progressive mathematization of the students' sense of the software, examining their interpretations, and using the explanations that students give to the geometrical…

Hershkovitz, Sara; Nesher, Pearla – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1996
Comparison of the effectiveness of two computerized environments, Schemes for Problem Analysis (SPA) and Algebraic Proposer (AP), with two sixth-grade classes found that in solving easy word problems, both software systems were equally helpful, but in harder word problems, those students who learned with SPA experienced more success than those who…

Hanna, Gila – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2000
Explores the role of proof in mathematics education and provides justification for its importance in the curriculum. Discusses three applications of dynamic geometry software--heuristics, exploration, and visualization--as tools in the teaching of proof and as potential challenges to the importance of proof.

Mariotti, Maria Alessandra – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2000
Reports on a long-term teaching experiment carried out in the 9th and 10th grades of a scientific high school as part of a larger research project. Aims to clarify the role of a particular software, Cabri Geometry, in the teaching/learning process. Focuses on the social construction of knowledge. (Author/MM)

Dagher, Antoine – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1996
Examines possibilities for learning offered by a piece of software, Fonctuse, likely to encourage the linking of algebraic and graphical representations of functions. Studied the influence of prior algebraic knowledge on the cognitive processes and constructions of knowledge at play in this environment. (Author/MKR)

Hadas, Nurit; Hershkowitz, Rina; Schwarz, Baruch B. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2000
Describes two activities that led students to contradictions between conjectures and findings. Analyzes the conjectures, working methods, and explanations given by students when faced with the contradictions that arose. (Author/MM)

Laborde, Colette – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2000
Attempts to develop a global discussion about the roles of dynamic geometry systems (DGS) by addressing four points: (1) the variety of possible contexts for proof in a DGS; (2) the dual nature of proof (cognitive and social) as reflected in the "milieu" constructed around the use of a DGS; (3) from observing to proving; and (4) overcoming the…
