This research was carried out to investigate the effect of graphing calculator program supported problem solving instruction on mathematical achievement and attitude in transformation geometry subject. The study was carried out with 49 seventh grade students in a middle school in Balikesir province. A pre-test post-test quasi-experimental design…

This paper addresses a gap in the literature on primary student-teachers' use of graphics calculators. A group of 12 student-teachers, specialising in mathematics, engaged in a mathematical task as learners, and then adapted the task for primary pupils. Their lesson plan included graphics calculators, which the student-teachers taught to a class…

The purpose of this study was to investigate the nature of preservice mathematics teachers' understanding of inequalities. The design of the study was a multi-case study of secondary mathematics education preservice teachers with a focus on their understanding and the lessons that they plan and implement. Data from individual interviews,…

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…

Handheld graphing technologies have fundamentally been utilized in the teaching and learning of many secondary school and college mathematics concepts. In order to observe the effects of these new kinds of technologies on students' learning of mathematics, their teachers need to decide whether it is reasonable to do, learn, and teach mathematics…

This paper reports on a study of 22 preservice teachers enrolled in a first-semester mathematics teaching methods course. Course activities included participation in two separate field experiences in neighboring school districts. The methods class placed considerable emphasis on the use of advanced digital technologies in the teaching and learning…

For many years, education researchers excited by the potential for digital technologies to transform mathematics teaching and learning have predicted that these technologies would become rapidly integrated into every level of education. However, recent international research shows that technology still plays a marginal role in mathematics…
