Crompton, Helen; Grant, Melva R.; Shraim, Khitam Y. H. – Educational Technology & Society, 2018
Empirical evidence indicates that students are not learning geometry with relational understanding of the concepts. Studies have shown that digital technologies can support students in mathematics. The purpose of this study was to find which technologies and technological affordances are specific to learners of geometry. This paper presents the…

David, Maria Manuela; Tomaz, Vanessa Sena – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2012
It is our presupposition that there is still a need for more research about how classroom practices can exploit the use and power of visualization in mathematics education. The aim of this article is to contribute in this direction, investigating how visual representations can structure geometry activity in the classroom and discussing teaching…

Corter, James E.; Zahner, Doris C. – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2007
We investigate the use of external visual representations in probability problem solving. Twenty-six students enrolled in an introductory statistics course for social sciences graduate students (post-baccalaureate) solved eight probability problems in a structured interview format. Results show that students spontaneously use self-generated…

Lang, Harry; Pagliaro, Claudia – Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education, 2007
In this study of deaf high school students, imagery and familiarity were found to be the best predictors of geometry word recall, whereas neither concreteness nor signability of the terms was a significant predictor variable. Recall of high imagery terms was significantly better than for low imagery terms, and the same result was found for high-…

Presmeg, Norma C. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
Identifying the strengths of visual processing in high school mathematics is considered. The development of an instrument to assess mathematical processing is described. Then the kinds of visual imagery found in children in England and Natal are presented, along with difficulties and benefits experienced by visualizers. (MNS)

Iben, Miriam F. – 1988
This investigation of U.S. and Japanese seventh and eighth grade student achievement in the development of space relations indicated that the Japanese seventh grade mean score was 35% greater than that of the U.S. seventh grade sample and the Japanese eighth grade mean score was 11% greater than that of the U.S. eighth grade sample. Four possible…
