Bullock, Emma P.; Webster, Joseph S.; Jones, Dustin L. – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2021
This paper introduces the Affording Understanding Conceptual Framework as a way for mathematics teacher educators to analyze student 's perceptions of a digital math tool 's helpfulness (e.g., GeoGebra) versus the instructor's perceptions when seeking insights into how a lesson design could be improved. An example of this action research process…

Yimer, Sirak Tsegaye – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science and Technology Education, 2020
The purpose of the study was to explore whether learners' conceptual knowledge (CK) or procedural knowledge (PK) understanding of calculus using the stimulus of active technology-based learning strategy better influence their content knowledge (COK) development. The quantitative methods were used in a quasi-experimental design. CK, PK and COK…

Taylor, Daniel; Moore-Russo, Deborah – MathAMATYC Educator, 2012
It is common for both algebra and calculus instructors to use power functions of various degrees as well as exponential functions to examine and compare rates of growth. This can be done on a chalkboard, with a graphing calculator, or with a spreadsheet. Instructors often are careful to connect the symbolic and graphical (and occasionally the…

Dimiceli, Vincent E.; Lang, Andrew S. I. D.; Locke, LeighAnne – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
This article describes the benefits and drawbacks of using Wolfram|Alpha as the platform for teaching calculus concepts in the lab setting. It is a result of our experiences designing and creating an entirely new set of labs using Wolfram|Alpha. We present the reasoning behind our transition from using a standard computer algebra system (CAS) to…
