Glaze, Andrew; Moyer-Packenham, Patricia; Longhurst, Max – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2021
The purpose of this mixed-methods study was to investigate the relationship between teachers' conceptions of mathematics and their use of intelligent tutoring systems for mathematics instruction. Intelligent tutoring systems are adaptive computer programs which administer mathematics instruction to students based on their cognitive state. A…

Bostic, Jonathan; Pape, Stephen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2010
Graphing calculators facilitate learners' ability to build cognitive links between mathematical representations by providing quick access to multiple representations. This exploratory study investigated the effects of technology-enhanced instruction on student achievement, perceptions of technology use during instruction, problem-solving success,…

Case, Erin; Pape, Stephen – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2013
This case study documents the struggles and successes encountered by a pre-calculus teacher while using Classroom Connectivity Technology (CCT) daily in her community college mathematics course. CCT refers to a wireless communication system that connects a teacher's computer with an individual student's handheld calculator and has been associated…

Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2011
Manipulatives have been used in many mathematics classrooms across many age groups with the aim of helping students to understand abstract concepts through concrete, kinesthetic, and visual experiences. In this paper, after we provide a background for the use of physical and virtual manipulatives in teaching and learning of mathematics, we will…

Abramovich, Sergei; Brouwer, Peter – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2009
This paper was developed with the goal of enhancing the mathematical preparation of secondary school teachers in the technological paradigm. It shows how two-variable inequalities can be utilized as models for the construction of geometric objects using the software Graphing Calculator 3.5 (produced by Pacific Tech) as a relation grapher. An…

Stylianou, Despina A.; Smith, Beverly; Kaput, James J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2005
This article reports on results of an exploratory study on undergraduate pre-service teachers' understanding of graphical representations of motion functions. The study described pre-service teachers' explorations using a CBR device. Pre-service teachers' growth was studied in two dimensions: (a) in their learning of the mathematics involved and…

Merriweather, Michelle; Tharp, Marcia L. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1999
Focuses on changes in attitude toward mathematics and calculator use and changes in how general mathematics students naturalistically solve algebraic problems. Uses a survey to determine whether a student is rule-based. Concludes that the rule-based students used an equation to solve the algebraic word problem whereas the non-rule-based students…

Jun, Youngcook – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
The electronic medium suitable for mathematics learning and teaching is often designed with a notebook interface provided in a computer algebra system. Such a notebook interface facilitates a workspace for mathematical activities along with an online help system. In this paper, the proposed feature is implemented in the Mathematica's notebook…

Simmt, Elaine – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1997
Reports on a research study that examined how some teachers used graphing calculators in their instruction of mathematics, and how their views of mathematics were manifested in the ways in which they chose to use this technology. Suggests that teachers used graphing technology as an extension to the way they always taught the unit. Contains 23…
