Edge Models with the CAD Software: Creating a New Context for Mathematics in Elementary School
Pielsticker, Felicitas; Witzke, Ingo; Vogler, Amelie
Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, v7 n3 p339-360 Dec 2021
Digital media have become increasingly important in recent years and can offer new possibilities for mathematics education in elementary schools. From our point of view, geometry and geometric objects seem to be suitable for the use of computer-aided design software in mathematics classes. Based on the example of Tinkercad, the use of CAD software -- a new and challenging context in elementary schools -- is discussed within the approach of domains of subjective experience and the Toulmin model. An empirical study examined the influence of Tinkercad on fourth-graders' development of a model of a geometric solid and related reasoning processes in mathematics classes.
