Contreras, Jose N. – Mathematics Educator, 2011
In this article, I describe a classroom investigation in which a group of prospective secondary mathematics teachers discovered theorems related to the power of a point using "The Geometer's Sketchpad" (GSP). The power of a point is defines as follows: Let "P" be a fixed point coplanar with a circle. If line "PA" is a secant line that intersects…

Steketee, Scott; Scher, Daniel – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
The concept of "function" spans elementary school through high school. When introducing the topic to elementary school and middle school students, the authors ask them to work with a variety of examples and representations of functions, since a formal definition of a function is rather abstract. They give the most accessible geometric functions…

Sinclair, Nathalie; Armstrong, Alayne – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Piecewise linear functions and story graphs are concepts usually associated with algebra, but in the authors' classroom, they found success teaching this topic in a distinctly geometrical manner. The focus of the approach was less on learning geometric concepts and more on using spatial and kinetic reasoning. It not only supports the learning of…

Rodgers, Diane M.; Moraga, Reinaldo J. – Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, 2011
Simulation software used for modeling has become as ubiquitous as computers themselves. Despite growing reliance on simulation in educational and workplace settings, users encounter frustration in using simulation software programs. The authors conducted a study with 26 engineering students and interviewed them about their experience learning the…

Pasko, Alexander; Adzhiev, Valery; Malikova, Evgeniya; Pilyugin, Victor – Journal of Information Technology Education: Innovations in Practice, 2013
Modern education technologies are destined to reflect the realities of a modern digital age. The juxtaposition of real and synthetic (computer-generated) worlds as well as a greater emphasis on visual dimension are especially important characteristics that have to be taken into account in learning and teaching. We describe the ways in which an…
