Abdul Hanid, Mohd Fadzil; Mohamad Said, Mohd Nihra Haruzuan; Yahaya, Noraffandy; Abdullah, Zaleha – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
In this article, researchers conducted a study that integrates Augmented Reality application with Computational Thinking into Geometry Topics. Three variables were measured, Computational Thinking, Visualisation Skills and Geometry Topic achievement. The study was implemented with 124 students in two different schools using quasi-experimental…

Jennifer Talbot; Amanda Cullen; Cheryl Lizano – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2023
Understanding fraction as a quantity has been identified as a key developmental understanding. In this study, students in Grades 5, 8, and 11 were asked to compare the areas of two halves of the same square--a rectangle and a right triangle. Findings from this study suggest that students who understand fraction as a quantity use reasoning related…

Bülbül, Buket Özüm; Güler, Mustafa; Gürsoy, Kadir; Güven, Bülent – International Online Journal of Education and Teaching, 2020
Although numerous studies have investigated how technology affects academic achievement, very few have focused on the purpose of the use of technology in mathematics education. This current study examines how student teachers (STs) benefit from GeoGebra as one of the Dynamic Geometry Software (DGS) while solving continuity problems. In order to…

Niemela, P.; Mikkolainen, V.; Vuorinen, J. – Universal Journal of Educational Research, 2018
This paper utilizes concept mapping as a tool for conscious and deliberate knowledge building in mathematics and its extension to algorithms. Currently, alleged defects in mathematics education are obvious: instead of conceptual elaboration, everyday praxis relies on routine computations that are likely to lead into alienated concepts with weak…

Alves, Francisco Regis Vieira – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2015
We find several applications of the Dynamic System Geogebra--DSG related predominantly to the basic mathematical concepts at the context of the learning and teaching in Brasil. However, all these works were developed in the basic level of Mathematics. On the other hand, we discuss and explore, with DSG's help, some applications of the polynomial's…

Crisman, Karl-Dieter – College Mathematics Journal, 2011
Although it can be visualized fairly easily and its symmetry group is easy to calculate, the permutahedron is a somewhat neglected combinatorial object. We propose it as a useful case study in abstract algebra. It supplies concrete examples of group actions, the difference between right and left actions, and how geometry and algebra can work…

Herceg, Dorde; Herceg, Dragoslav – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2010
The concept of definite integral is almost always introduced as the Riemann integral, which is defined in terms of the Riemann sum, and its geometric interpretation. This definition is hard to understand for high school students. With the aid of mathematical software for visualisation and computation of approximate integrals, the notion of…

Winkel, Brian – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
A complex technology-based problem in visualization and computation for students in calculus is presented. Strategies are shown for its solution and the opportunities for students to put together sequences of concepts and skills to build for success are highlighted. The problem itself involves placing an object under water in order to actually see…

Lynch, Collin F., Ed.; Merceron, Agathe, Ed.; Desmarais, Michel, Ed.; Nkambou, Roger, Ed. – International Educational Data Mining Society, 2019
The 12th iteration of the International Conference on Educational Data Mining (EDM 2019) is organized under the auspices of the International Educational Data Mining Society in Montreal, Canada. The theme of this year's conference is EDM in Open-Ended Domains. As EDM has matured it has increasingly been applied to open-ended and ill-defined tasks…

Sconiers, Sheila – Elementary Mathematician, 1987
Sample materials from a primary training packet are included. The packets were developed as a part of a teacher development program aimed at improving elementary mathematics by giving teachers practical ideas. The sample student materials are drawn from the areas of geometry and oral mathematics. (PK)
