Ðokic, Olivera J.; Boricic, Milana M. Dabic; Jelic, Mila S. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2022
Since one of the main goals of teaching geometry is to provide students with the opportunity to develop spatial reasoning, it is important to find the most suitable support for learning 3D geometry in elementary school. This paper compares Information and Communication Technology (ICT) and physical manipulatives support, with the aim to answer if…

Lee, Chun-Yi; Chen, Ming-Jang – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2014
Previous studies on the effects of virtual and physical manipulatives have failed to consider the impact of prior knowledge on the efficacy of manipulatives. This study focuses on the learning of plane geometry in junior high schools, including the sum of interior angles in polygons, the sum of exterior angles in polygons, and the properties of…

Evans, Michael A.; Wilkins, Jesse L. M. – Journal of Educational Computing Research, 2011
The reported exploratory study consisted primarily of classroom visits, videotaped sessions, and post-treatment interviews whereby second graders (n = 12) worked on problems in planar geometry, individually and in triads, using physical and virtual manipulatives. The goal of the study was to: 1) characterize the nature of geometric thinking found…
