Computer-aided visualization provides meaningful insight into geography teaching, which helps improve comprehension. With dynamic geometry software (DGS), a teacher can easily create interactive mathematical learning materials. To fully benefit from DGS applied to subjects other than mathematics, their functionality must be extended with features…

The purpose of this systematic literature review (SLR) is to identify: (a) the topic of the study, (b) the research methods used, and (c) the results of research on Mathematics education in Malaysia. This study discusses the use of teaching aid (TA) in the field of syllabus and geometry for Form 2 students. The use of TA is considered highly…

Purpose: This study presents the competence level of education students in College Geometry and the development of a Computer Generated Instructional Materials (CGIM). Method: This research used the model for research and development by Borg and Gall (2003) with revision. The researchers developed a CGIM, specifically, the worktext paired with…

Dynamic geometry software (DGS) is often used for development of interactive teaching materials in many subjects, not only mathematics. These interactive materials can contain hundreds of elements in order to represent complex objects, and script programs to control their behavior. We propose an approach for creating, importing and using…

This submission contains the Proceedings of the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group (CMESG), held at Memorial University of Newfoundland in St. John's, Newfoundland. The CMESG is a group of mathematicians and mathematics educators who meet annually to discuss mathematics education issues at all levels of learning.…

A preservice teacher education course involving the applications for a computer within the mathematics classroom is described in terms of its evolution from a workshop to a regular curricular offering. Included are samples of computer experiments which suggest computer teaching activities for the prospective teacher lacking in field experience.…

"Saxon Math" curricula and materials are available for grades K through 12, with the content and skills designed to meet National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) standards and various state standards. This WWC report focuses on middle school math curricula, defined as all Saxon Math curricula for grades 6 through 9. The…

TWO EXPERIMENTS WERE CONDUCTED TO ANALYZE THE SPECIFIC EXTERNAL FACTORS THAT CONTRIBUTE MOST SIGNIFICANTLY TO STUDENT LEARNING. THE THREE HYPOTHESES TESTED WERE--(1) LEARNING IS INCREASED WHEN AN EXPERIMENTER ACTIVELY AUGMENTS THE PROGRAM BY REPHRASING PROGRAM STATEMENTS AND BY BRANCHING THE STUDENT TO DIFFERENT PARTS OF THE PROGRAM WHEN THE…

Two computer exercises involving the classification of geometric figures are given. The mathematics required is relatively simple but comes from several areas--synthetic geometry, analytic geometry, and linear algebra. (MN)

This study is on the design and implementation of an educational dialogue system to support e-learning. The learning domain to apply the dialogue system used the subject of geometry. The knowledge in the dialogue-based system for learning geometry was created and represented by XML-based AIML. The implemented system in this study can understand…

This catalog presents brief descriptions of all lessons developed by the PLATO project for community colleges and adult education. One hundred six lessons are available for computer-based use. Topics range from elementary arithmetic to function theory and trigonometry. For each of these lessons, this catalog presents the title, code name, author,…

One-hundred twenty packages of computer programs, each package dealing with a single mathematical topic, are developed. Each package consists of three programs; the first gives the student a problem set, the second allows students to check answers, and the third composes a test. Topics range from addition of non-negative integers and other…

The objective of this pretest-posttest Quasi-Experimental Design study was to determine the effects of LOGO Based Instruction (LBI) compared to instruction by teacher lecture and pencil-and-paper activities on: (1) students' understanding of the concepts of point, ray, line, and line segment; (2) students' attitudes toward learning geometry,…

This instructor's guide contains materials for a 40-hour course designed to refresh math skills for current computer numerical control machine operators. The course uses two instructional methods: computer-based multimedia and traditional instruction. The course description lists target audience and general objective. The next section gives…

This manual designed for grade 6 is part of a series for a program to integrate the teaching and learning of mathematical and computer concepts and skills in the elementary school. The manual contains 34 lessons. Each lesson includes information on the topic, suggested grade level, mathematics concepts and skills, objective, prerequisite skills…
