Kim How, Richeal Phil Thien; Zulnaidi, Hutkemri; Abdul Rahim, Suzieleez Syrene – European Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2022
The purpose of this study is to identify the teaching styles and problems faced by teachers as they attempt to cultivate higher-order thinking skills (HOTS) in the topic of quadratic equations. This study used a qualitative approach via structured interview involving four participants who are experienced mathematics teachers from three districts…

Drijvers, Paul; Barzel, Barbel – Mathematics Teaching, 2012
Has technology revolutionised the mathematics classroom, or is it still a device waiting to be exploited for the benefit of the learner? There are applets that will enable the user to solve complex equations at the push of a button. So, does this jeopardise other methods, make other methods redundant, or even diminish other methods in the mind of…

Decker, Robert – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2011
Dynamic/interactive graphing applets can be used to supplement standard computer algebra systems such as Maple, Mathematica, Derive, or TI calculators, in courses such as Calculus, Differential Equations, and Dynamical Systems. The addition of this type of software can lead to discovery learning, with students developing their own conjectures, and…

Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas G. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
A common activity--having students collect data to measure the radius and circumference of circular objects--can be given a new twist. These data can be viewed virtually using technology. A dynamic geometry environment coupled with the powerful capabilities of a spreadsheet can greatly enhance student learning. The activity in this article…

Lamb, John H. – Mathematics Teacher, 2007
This article outlines a linear regression activity that engages learners, uses technology, and fosters cooperation. Students generated least-squares linear regression equations using TI-83 Plus[TM] graphing calculators, Microsoft[C] Excel, and paper-and-pencil calculations using derived normal equations to predict the 2004 presidential election.…

Jun, Youngcook – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
The electronic medium suitable for mathematics learning and teaching is often designed with a notebook interface provided in a computer algebra system. Such a notebook interface facilitates a workspace for mathematical activities along with an online help system. In this paper, the proposed feature is implemented in the Mathematica's notebook…

White, Jacci Wozniak; Norwich, Vicki Howard – 1997
Mathematics software can be a great aid in understanding difficult mathematics concepts at all levels. This paper presents nine exercises on calculus concepts by using different software used in mathematics education. Each exercise includes instruction on how to use software in order to highlight a specific concept in mathematics. This paper also…
