E. Taranto; G. Colajanni; A. Gobbi; M. Picchi; A. Raffaele – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
Operations Research (OR) is a branch of applied mathematics that deals with optimization problems arising from different real contexts. The solving process of its problems is based on the construction and resolution of mathematical models, showing the possible connections between mathematics and the real world. Nevertheless, OR is not typically…

Passarella, Simone – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
Introducing the distributivity property of multiplication over addition is a well-known challenge in mathematics education, especially in primary school. As a contribution, this paper presents the results of a cycle of design research that focuses on the design, implementation and evaluation of a modelling activity in which 2nd-grade students are…

Rossano, Veronica; Roselli, Teresa; Quercia, Gaetano – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2018
The Computational Thinking recently has been recognised as one of the basic knowledge to be developed since childhood. Coding and computers are not just programming, but tools that help students to develop problem solving skills and more deep understand of the way things work. For these reasons, great attention has been focused on this topic both…
