Nowadays, physics learning in the classroom should no longer only focus on achieving academics. It must prepare students to face challenges in the future. One of the abilities that are important for learners is problem solving, and the problem-solving ability that is becoming increasingly important in today's digital era is computational thinking…

GeoGebra is the most well-known Dynamic Geometry Application (DGA) in the world. Many researchers are interested in GeoGebra as a tool to make interactive mathematics resources. Here we focus on a snapping function in GeoGebra, which is a kind of general feature of DGA: the mouse cursor is attracted to a specific position or a specific object and…

Developments in Educational Technology during the last three decades, has provided both learners and instructors with a rich source of instructional material. Although we welcome the increasing use of digital material in the classroom environment, we argue that the learner is still remains as a passive actor in the educational process. In this…

A framework for designing intelligent assistance in a discovery learning environment is proposed in this paper. The process of discovery learning is analyzed and the required functions for intelligent assistance are discussed. A flexible simulator that fits any type of discovery learning is necessary. The problem solvers that perform fundamental…

Some uses of a computer in a high school statistics class are presented. The increased student involvement in the lesson is seen as a result of the line demonstration of the mathematical concepts involved. A special application program written in BASIC is included. (MP)

Calculators that have the constant arithmetic feature are promoted, and examples of ways this feature can be used in lessons are presented. (MP)

Real-life expeditions to several regions of the world, offered online by GlobaLearn, Inc., provide social and cultural connections, along with curricular materials that help teachers engage students in active inquiry. Through the eyes of real explorers making actual expeditions, students can discover and become familiar with people and places…

This document is a collection of reports presented at a programable calculator symposium held in Seattle, Washington, in April, 1980, as part of the annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). The session was designed to review whether the programable calculator has a place in the school mathematics program, in light…

These documents are three separate sets of student problems and teaching guides geared towards calculators. Series A is designed for pupils from ages 10 to 13; "B" is structured for 13 through 16, and "C" for 16 through 19. The materials are designed to provide activities for investigation and exploration of number properties and patterns that are…

This is one of a series of three books addressing the question of the nature of technological literacy. This volume, consisting of an introduction, an epilogue, and 12 chapters, focuses on classrooms and classroom processes involving computers and deals directly with teacher and student usage of microcomputers in teaching and learning. The 12…
