Bokhove, Christian; Drijvers, Paul – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
In the Netherlands, as in many other countries, the algebraic expertise of students graduating from secondary education is an issue. The use of digital tools for algebra education is expected to change epistemologies, activity structures and student achievement. Therefore, a study was set up to investigate in what way the use of ICT in upper…

Feurzeig, Wallace – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
This paper describes the creation and early uses of Logo. It includes a brief summary of more recent work on Logo-derived languages and learning applications. It closes with a lament on the unrealized potential of student programming languages as empowering tools for knowledge construction and learning.

Baccaglini-Frank, Anna; Mariotti, Maria Alessandra – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
Research has shown that the tools provided by dynamic geometry systems (DGSs) impact students' approach to investigating open problems in Euclidean geometry. We particularly focus on cognitive processes that might be induced by certain ways of dragging in Cabri. Building on the work of Arzarello, Olivero and other researchers, we have conceived a…

Trgalova, Jana; Bouhineau, Denis; Nicaud, Jean-Francois – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2009
The analysis presented in this article tries to obtain a global view of the field of interactive learning environments (ILE) dedicated to arithmetic and algebra. As preliminaries, a brief overview of evaluation methods focusing on educational software is given and a short description of ten ILEs concerned by the study is provided as a kind of a…

Mioduser, David; Levy, Sharona T. – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
This study explores young children's ability to construct and explain adaptive behaviors of a behaving artifact, an autonomous mobile robot with sensors. A central component of the behavior construction environment is the RoboGan software that supports children's construction of spatiotemporal events with an a-temporal rule structure. Six…

Gonzalez, Gloriana; Herbst, Patricio G. – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2009
This paper describes students' interactions with dynamic diagrams in the context of an American geometry class. Students used the dragging tool and the measuring tool in Cabri Geometry to make mathematical conjectures. The analysis, using the cK[cent sign] model of conceptions, suggests that incorporating technology in mathematics classrooms…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
This paper proposes a taxonomy of the pedagogical opportunities that are offered by mathematics analysis software such as computer algebra systems, graphics calculators, dynamic geometry or statistical packages. Mathematics analysis software is software for purposes such as calculating, drawing graphs and making accurate diagrams. However, its…

Eisenberg, Michael – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2007
Mathematical string sculptures constitute an extremely beautiful realm of mathematical crafts. This snapshot begins with a description of a marvelous (and no longer manufactured) toy called Space Spider, which provided a framework with which children could experiment with string sculptures. Using a computer-controlled laser cutter to create frames…

White, Tobin – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2008
This article explores ways of conceptualizing the design of innovative learning tools as emergent from dialectics between designers and learner-users of those tools. More specifically, I focus on the reciprocities between a designer's objectives for student learning and a user's situated activity in a learning environment, as these interact and…

Leung, Allen – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2008
What makes Dynamic Geometry Environment (DGE) a powerful mathematical knowledge acquisition microworld is its ability to visually make explicit the implicit dynamism of thinking about mathematical geometrical concepts. One of DGE's powers is to equip us with the ability to retain the background of a geometrical configuration while we can…

Liang, Hai-Ning; Sedig, Kamran – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
Many epistemic activities, such as spatial reasoning, sense-making, problem solving, and learning, are information-based. In the context of epistemic activities involving mathematical information, learners often use interactive 3D mathematical visualizations (MVs). However, performing such activities is not always easy. Although it is generally…

Herbert, Sandra; Pierce, Robyn – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2008
Does speed provide a "model for" rate of change in other contexts? Does JavaMathWorlds (JMW), animated simulation software, assist in the development of the "model for" rate of change? This project investigates the transference of understandings of rate gained in a motion context to a non-motion context. Students were 27 14-15 year old students at…

Sacristan, Ana Isabel; Noss, Richard – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2008
In this paper, we describe a design experiment aimed at helping students to explore and develop concepts of infinite processes and objects. Our approach is based on the design and development of a computational microworld, which afforded students the means to construct a range of representational models (symbolic, visual and numeric) of…

Cobo, Pedro; Fortuny, Josep M.; Puertas, Eloi; Richard, Philippe R. – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2007
This paper aims, first, to describe the fundamental characteristics and workings of the AgentGeom artificial tutorial system, which is designed to help students develop knowledge and skills related to problem solving, mathematical proof in geometry, and the use of mathematical language. Following this, we indicate the manner in which a secondary…

Konold, Cliff; Harradine, Anthony; Kazak, Sibel – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2007
In current curriculum materials for middle school students in the US, data and chance are considered as separate topics. They are then ideally brought together in the minds of high school or university students when they learn about statistical inference. In recent studies we have been attempting to build connections between data and chance in the…
