Weissman, Shula; Stupel, Moshe – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2021
We present an investigative activity that was set as part of a course of pre-service teachers of mathematics. The emphasis in the course was set on the importance of using the computerized technological tool for teaching the subject. The activity focused on investigating interesting geometrical conservation properties which are not known to the…

Huang, Hsin-Mei E.; Wu, Hsin-Yueh – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2019
This research examined the effects of two instructional treatments on training performance in solid volume measurement and potential effects on solving capacity and displaced volume problems by two related studies. Fifty-three fifth-graders from a public elementary school in Taipei, Taiwan, participated. In the Phase 1 study, the children (n = 27)…

Miyazaki, Mikio; Kimiho, Chino; Katoh, Ryuhei; Arai, Hitoshi; Ogihara, Fumihiro; Oguchi, Yuichi; Morozumi, Tatsuo; Kon, Mayuko; Komatsu, Kotaro – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2012
Three-dimensional dynamic geometry software has the power to enhance students' learning of spatial geometry. The purpose of this research is to clarify what potential using three-dimensional dynamic geometry software can offer us in terms of how to develop the spatial geometry curriculum in lower secondary schools. By focusing on the impacts the…

Baccaglini-Frank, Anna; Mariotti, Maria Alessandra – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
Research has shown that the tools provided by dynamic geometry systems (DGSs) impact students' approach to investigating open problems in Euclidean geometry. We particularly focus on cognitive processes that might be induced by certain ways of dragging in Cabri. Building on the work of Arzarello, Olivero and other researchers, we have conceived a…

Binterová, Helena; Komínková, Olga – Acta Didactica Napocensia, 2013
The main purpose of the work is to present a successful implementation of CLIL method in Mathematics lessons in elementary schools. Nowadays at all types of schools (elementary schools, high schools and universities) all over the world every school subject tends to be taught in a foreign language. In 2003, a document called Action plan for…

Kordaki, Maria; Balomenou, Athanasia – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2006
This study focuses on the constructions in terms of area and perimeter in equivalent triangles developed by students aged 12-15 years-old, using the tools provided by Cabri-Geometry II [Labore (1990). "Cabri-Geometry (software)," Universite de Grenoble]. Twenty-five students participated in a learning experiment where they were asked to construct:…

Hyde, Hartley – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2004
In early 2004, Cabrilog released version "II plus" of their interactive geometry package. According to the author, "Cabri Geometry II plus" is clearly a much more useful package than the earlier version. However, unlike other sophisticated applications packages, the designers have avoided creating so many options that secondary students lose their…

Hannafin, Robert D. – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2004
This study investigated the effect of students' ability and type of instructional program, structured and unstructured, on easy and difficult posttest items. Seventh-grade students worked through 14 instructional activities in The Geometer Sketchpad, a dynamic geometry program, and accessed a Geometry tutorial developed to parallel the state…

Sanchez, Ernesto; Sacristan, Ana Isabel – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2003
We present results from a study which investigated the influence of dynamic geometry-based activities in the development of proving skills (in geometry) in high-school students (15-16 years of age). After a 12-week course on Cabri and the writing of conjectures and proofs, students were asked to write and prove conjectures based on their…

MacGregor, S. Kim; Thomas, W. Randall – 2002
This study examined the effects of level of instructional scaffolding on students' use of Geometer's Sketchpad and other software tools in a technology-integrated geometry curriculum. In order to revitalize education at the secondary level and in particular in the mathematics curriculum, educational reformers have advocated the incorporation of…
