Oates, Greg; Sheryn, Louise; Thomas, Mike – North American Chapter of the International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2014
In this paper we describe the design and implementation of a technology-active introductory first year university mathematics course. The design principles underpinning the course are presented. The results of the implementation show some areas where the technology-active approach has proven of value, as well as improvements that can be made for…

Tobin, Patrick C.; Weiss, Vida – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2016
The use of handheld CAS technology in undergraduate mathematics courses in Australia is paradoxically shrinking under sustained disapproval or disdain from the professional mathematics community. Mathematics education specialists argue with their mathematics colleagues over a range of issues in course development and this use of CAS or even…

Kissi, Philip Siaw; Opoku, Gyabaah; Boateng, Sampson Kwadwo – Journal of Education and Practice, 2016
The aim of the study was to investigate the effect of Microsoft Math Tool (graphical calculator) on students' achievement in the linear function. The study employed Quasi-experimental research design (Pre-test Post-test two group designs). A total of ninety-eight (98) students were selected for the study from two different Senior High Schools…

Risser, Hilary Smith – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2011
More than twenty years after the introduction of the first handheld graphing calculator the mathematics community appears to still be struggling with the use of technology in the teaching and learning of mathematics. One major venue for arguments against technology use in the teaching and learning of mathematics is the news magazines of…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications: An International Journal of the IMA, 2009
Taking advantage of pedagogical opportunities afforded by new technology requires appropriately designed lessons. This article reports on the use of "lesson study" to research principles for the design of a lesson aiming to take advantage of multiple representations. The lesson, for year 10 students who had personal access to TI-Nspire, focused on…

Quesada, Antonio; Einsporn, Richard L.; Wiggins, Muserref – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of a graphical teaching and learning approach via the graphing calculator enhances students' understanding of the formal definition of limit. College students in six sections of Calculus I participated by completing a test prior to the introduction of the definition, and completing a second…

Weigand, Hans-Georg – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
A one year project was started in the school year 2003/04 to test the use of symbolic calculators (SC)--the TIVoyage 200--in six 10th grade classes of three grammar schools in Bavaria (Germany). The project was repeated in school year 2004/05. The evaluation of the project was intended to give answers to the following questions: how basic…

Reznichenko, Nataliya – Online Submission, 2007
Assumptions: Today, when technology has taken its place in almost all classrooms in schools and colleges across the country, there is a need to know how technology "influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students' learning" (NCTM, 2000, p. 24). Rationale: This presentation describes qualitative study which purpose was to…

Margaritis, Aki – Montessori Life, 2003
Asserts that graphing calculators give students and teachers the ability to investigate, explore, compare, and discover concepts in a much more comprehensive way than simple calculators or no calculators at all. Offers specific examples that illustrate the advantage of graphing calculators in the Montessori middle school classroom. Lists three…

Cassity, Constance L. – 1997
Research has often found little or no significant differences in overall performance for math students using graphing calculators compared to traditional (non-calculator) classes. However, when performance is divided into procedural and conceptual levels, significant differences appear at the conceptual level. This study investigates the relation…

Severinsen, G. – Australian Educational Computing, 2003
Technology in secondary schools has become of increasing interest as the power of the microchip has developed. For the students of Mathematics, computers and handheld graphic calculators need to be accessible to all. They are relevant to the needs of the students' courses and to support and develop their Mathematical learning (Smith, 1997).…
