Mathematics education is looking for innovative methods to foster problem-solving skills in students. This research develops a problem-solving assessment using GeoGebra Classroom, a versatile interactive mathematics software, to revolutionize mathematics formative assessment and improve students' problem-solving skills. This study adopted the…

In this paper the authors described the influence of the computer-based environment on students' learning achievement of the multidimensional calculus, in particular double integrals. The research was conducted with the second year students at the University of Kragujevac, Serbia, with two groups of students: the experimental and the control one.…

The use of dynamic geometry computer software (DGCS) is important in educational environment, and it is more advantageous for learning mathematics comprehensively. This study examined the importance of dynamic geometry computer software on learners' performance in geometry. A quasi experimental, non-equivalent control group was used. The…

The study investigated the impact of using Autograph software as a tool in teaching and learning of quadratic functions on gender performance in core Mathematics for Senior High School (SHS) students in Ghana. Non-equivalent quasi-experimental design was used. The population was all second year students in the Komenda-Edina-Eguafo-Abrem (KEEA)…

The pilot research presented here explores the classroom use of Emerging Literacy in Mathematics (ELM) software, a research-based bilingual interactive multimedia instructional tool, and its potential to develop emerging numeracy skills. At the time of the study, a central theme of early mathematics curricula, "Number Concept," was fully…

In this article, we present analyses from a researcher-practitioner partnership in the District of Columbia Public Schools, where we are exploring the impact of educational software on students' academic achievement. We analyze a unique data set that combines student-level information from the district with data of student usage of a mathematics…

Ways to use data base software to develop conceptual understanding are presented. Discussed are the concepts of a data base, setting up the data, and an assessment of learning with examples. Six references and four journal resources are listed. (YP)

Many educators recommend the "Geometric Supposer" as exemplary software. This study compared the achievement of one high school class that used the software and a similar class that did not. The treatment class used the software once every 2 weeks throughout the school year. The SRA Achievement Test was used as a pretest and the Houghton-Mifflin…

Under the "Math Science Partnership Grant," the Maui Hawaii Educational Consortium sought scientifically based evidence for the effectiveness of Carnegie Learning's "Cognitive Tutor[R]" (CT) program as part of the adoption process for pre-Algebra program. During the 2006-2007 school year, the researchers conducted a follow-on…

A change of emphasis in mathematics education may be needed from a mechanical and computational focus to a problem-solving approach. A first step in facilitating this goal is to place children in situations emphasizing problem-solving skills, requiring them to develop and apply their own logic structures. This paper describes a microcomputer based…

This manual provides a relevant resource for mathematics teachers who wish to take advantage of the extensive library of computer software materials available to expand and strengthen classroom instruction. Classroom management procedures, software duplication guidelines, procedures for copying diskettes for MS DOS and Apple II computers, and…

Discusses the use of courseware designed to prepare high school students for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Provides a review of six software packages specifically designed for this purpose. Discusses, as an alternative, a non-computer plan for SAT preparation. (TW)

This curriculum guide was written to provide information on the skills covered in the Maryland Functional Math Test (MFMT) and to outline a process which will allow teachers to fully integrate computer software into their instruction. The materials produced in this directory are designed to assist mild to moderately handicapped students who will…
