This study examines the impact of an online math learning program on third through fifth grade math achievement in Louisiana. Employing Zearn Math usage metrics and administrative data from the Louisiana Department of Education, the results indicate that grade levels that programmatically used Zearn Math scored, on average, about .03 standard…

The COVID-19 pandemic has been called an educational catastrophe. It caused massive disruptions in education, learning loss for students, and massive increases in teacher workloads, stress, and health-related issues. There were significant issues of student disengagement and rampant cheating on assessments. This paper looks not at the huge…

The Calculus for Kids project was deliberately designed to use computers in the transformation of curriculum. The intervention used multi-media learning materials to assist teachers and Year 6 (aged 11-12 years) students understand the principles of integral calculus. They used Maple mathematics software to solve real-world problems using these…

Three-dimensional dynamic geometry software has the power to enhance students' learning of spatial geometry. The purpose of this research is to clarify what potential using three-dimensional dynamic geometry software can offer us in terms of how to develop the spatial geometry curriculum in lower secondary schools. By focusing on the impacts the…

When working with e-teaching materials we often find that the authors of resources, meant for the use of teachers in the teaching process, do not use the opportunities offered by the new technologies. All too often the materials are a monolithic block (or at least their main part is), constructed the way an ordinary book or workbook would be. This…

Most children talk to their parents about what they learned at school. Parents hear about books read, pictures drawn, stories written and games played. But how often do parents hear of children using ICT to make multimedia stories with a mathematical focus? In this paper the term "multimodality" will be used to describe such activities.…

The idea of "interpretative flexibility" underpins new approaches to studying technological artefacts and curricular resources in use. This paper opens by reviewing, in this light, the evolving design of dynamic geometry, its pioneering use within classroom projects, and early sketches of its mainstream use in ordinary classrooms. After…

Online assessments afford many advantages for teachers and students. Okolo (2006) stated, "As the power, sophistication, and availability of technology have increased in the classroom, online assessments have become a viable tool for providing the type of frequent and dynamic assessment information that educators need to guide instructional…

Describes a method for integrating basic instruction on computer programing in mathematics courses for earth science, chemistry, and pharmaceutical chemistry students to provide them with a knowledge of the real possibilities of computing media. (CHC)

This article reviews research on the achievement outcomes of three types of approaches to improving elementary mathematics: Mathematics curricula, computer-assisted instruction (CAI), and instructional process programs. Study inclusion requirements included use of a randomized or matched control group, a study duration of 12 weeks, and achievement…

Algebra I and General Mathematics courses using tutorial instructional programs under computer control supplemented by "off-line" materials (included in the computer controlled testing) have been developed for a ninth grade student population. This preliminary draft of a teacher's manual for the courses provides outlines of the course…

Algebra I and General Mathematics courses directed at a ninth grade population are being designed to include a tutorial program under computer control and a variety of supplemental learning experiences. Student performance data will not only control the flow of the program, but also will enable the classroom teacher to assign appropriate…

An individualized, computer-assisted instruction (CAI) program of courses in algebra and general mathematics was developed for ninth graders. The courses are on-line; the students receive instruction and their performances are recorded to direct the flow of instruction and to assign appropriate off-line instructional materials. Flowcharts have…

Algebra I and General Mathematics courses using tutorial instructional programs under computer control supplemented by "off-line" materials (included in the computer controlled testing) have been developed for a ninth grade student population. The relationships of instructional materials, pretests, posttests, and choice points are…

An explanation of the use of PLANIT (Programing Language for Interactive Teaching) and its application to developing computer assisted instruction in mathematics curriculum. (HB)
