Functional dependency is a term coming out of mathematical software terminology. It shows the dependency of one representation (either diagrammatic or algebraic) to one another in the form of a formula, a conceptual relation or an algorithm. In mathematics, it is important since it shows students' understanding of those conceptual relationships if…

Geogebra is software designed to solve geometry, calculus and algebra material as well as applications for designing spaces and buildings. The purpose of this research is to produce teaching material products through Geogebra software in mathematics courses that can be utilized in learning. The stages in this research include: (1) the stage of…

The aim of this research is to examine digital learning materials designed by pre-service mathematics teachers with GeoGebra software through rubrics. This research was conducted using the integrative mixed method design, which allows the use of qualitative and quantitative methods together or sequentially. The study group of the research consists…

In the Singapore primary school Mathematics curriculum, students are taught the model method that uses bar diagrams to visualize the problem structure in a given word problem. When these students progress to secondary school, they learn the algebraic way of solving word problems. Studies (e.g. Ng et al.) have shown that poor bridging of students…

No longer just a user of commercial software, the 21st century teacher is a designer of interactive software based on theories of learning. This software, a comprehensive study of straightline equations, enhances conceptual understanding, sketching, graphic interpretive and word problem solving skills as well as making connections to real-life and…

The Voyage of MIMI is a major educational project housed at Bank Street College (New York) which is directed toward the development of extensive television, computer software, videodisc, and print materials for use in science and mathematics education in grades 5-7. The first series has been completed, and includes a 13-part dramatic television…

This study analyzed the extent to which oppportunities created by computer technology addresses the needs in school science and mathematics instruction and determined what the appropriate microcomputer responses might be to those needs. Information was gathered by obtaining descriptions of most available software; reviewing published software…

Computer-assisted-instruction software was developed to supplement the conventional lecture-laboratory mode of instruction with another instructional aid for learning science in an individualized, nonthreatening environment. This development project was designed to teach physical concepts, mathematical techniques, and problem solving strategies.…

This report describes phase 1 of a projected 2-phase project designed to investigate the feasibility of developing an interactive videodisc to teach math and science concepts to preschool handicapped children. A videodisc system is proposed that would allow children to manipulate real-world objects in order to acquire concrete knowledge about…

This report describes TORUS, a computer-based program for elementary school students with learning disabilities which analyzes student work samples in addition and subtraction and provides individual profiles of student misconceptions and weaknesses. Initially, work samples from 236 middle school students with learning disabilities were analyzed…

Developed to help educators locate microcomputer software programs they may want to preview for students in grades K-12, this guide lists commercially available instructional software programs that have been favorably reviewed by members of the Educational Software Evaluation Consortium. Programs are arranged alphabetically by title within…

The variance in adult learner needs requires that adult education classes provide individualized instruction for the adult learner--a time-consuming and intellectually challenging task. To assist in this difficult undertaking, the East Carroll Parish (Louisiana) Adult Education Program developed mathematics tutorial exercises corresponding to the…

This document gives instructions on how to use a Macintosh computer to create printed materials for mathematics. A Macintosh computer, Microsoft Word, and objected-oriented (Draw-type) art program, and a function-graphing program are capable of producing high quality printed instructional materials for mathematics. Word 5.1 has an equation editor…
