Wu, Chih-Fu; Wu, Hsiang-Ping; Tu, Yung-Hsiang; Yeh, I-Ting; Chang, Chin-Te – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2022
Introduction: Three-dimensional (3D) printing can be used to produce tactile teaching materials for individuals with visual impairments. Although 3D and 2.5D teaching materials are based on realistic content, no systematic conversion model for 2D materials exists. Here, we combined the previous findings and this study's results and technology to…

Vessonen, Terhi; Hakkarainen, Airi; Väisänen, Eija; Laine, Anu; Aunio, Pirjo; Gagnon, Joseph Calvin – Investigations in Mathematics Learning, 2021
Fraction knowledge has been found to predict later mathematical performance, but many students have difficulty with fractions. Virtual manipulatives (VM) and concrete manipulatives (CM) are effective approaches to teaching fractions, but previous research has not been able to reach a consensus on which manipulatives are the most effective. This…
