Diamond, Harvey – PRIMUS, 2023
This paper presents a series of basic computational problems that are mathematically and/or graphically appealing, and provides an idea of places one might go in trying to understand what is happening, integrating mathematics, computation, and graphics. The real point of this paper is to make a case, through those examples, for computation as an…

Morten Munthe; Margrethe Naalsund – Digital Experiences in Mathematics Education, 2024
The growing use of programming in mathematics classrooms presents a challenge linked to implementation in general and task design in particular. This article presents design ideas for mathematical problems incorporating programming in which the focus remains mainly on learning mathematics and less on learning programming. The article starts by…

Amenda N. Chow; Peter D. Harrington; Fok-Shuen Leung – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2024
Physical experiments in classrooms have many benefits for student learning, including increased student interest, participation and knowledge retention. While experiments are common in engineering and physics classes, they are seldom used in first-year calculus, where the focus is on solving problems analytically and, occasionally, numerically. In…

Andreas Brandsaeter; Runar Lie Berge – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2025
The reasons for teaching programming in school are indeed manifold. Programming can for example be utilized as a vehicle for understanding and learning particular mathematical subject matter, or as a tool for solving mathematical problems. In this paper, however, we propose to utilize programming as a vehicle for developing mathematical…

Hansen, Nils Kristian; Hadjerrouit, Said – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2023
This paper aims at using a Use-Modify-Create approach to explore students' mathematical problem solving by means of computational thinking (CT) and programming activities. The data collection method is participant observation, in which the researcher also has the role as teacher, guiding the group activities. In our study, two groups of students…

Wahid Yunianto; Guillermo Bautista Jr.; Bungkus Dias Prasetyo; Zsolt Lavicza – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2024
As computational thinking (CT) is new to teachers, they need support on how CT integration will work. This study examines the use of a hypothetical learning trajectory (HLT) to support teachers in integrating computational thinking into mathematics lessons utilizing GeoGebra. By employing the educational design research (EDR) methodology, the…

Students' In-Moment Challenges and Developing Maker Perspectives during Problem-Based Digital Making
Ng, Oi-Lam; Liu, Minnie; Cui, Zhihao – Journal of Research on Technology in Education, 2023
We report on a case study of eight grade 5 to 6 students (ages 12-14) involved in a three-day "digital-making summer camp" focused on mathematical problem-solving through block-based programming combined with programmable electronics. Data analysis focused on the computational thinking (CT), mathematics, and problem-solving challenges…

Alonso Ogueda-Oliva; Padmanabhan Seshaiyer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2024
In this paper, we introduce novel instructional approaches to engage students in using modelling with data to motivate and teach differential equations. Specifically, we introduce a pedagogical framework that will execute instructional modules to teach different solution techniques for differential equations through repositories and notebook…

Laurent Cervoni; Julien Brasseur – International Association for Development of the Information Society, 2022
A Prolog program consists of a set of facts and rules rather than imperative statements, commonly used in most other programming languages. Therefore, the Prolog language is used to encode logic, from which the inference engine deduces logical conclusions. In this article, we argue that the use of the Prolog language can be useful to help students…

Stohlmann, Micah; Kim, Young Rae – Australian Mathematics Education Journal, 2020
Games are an everyday part of most students' lives. Games engage students and provide opportunities to foster perseverance in problem solving. When implemented in the mathematics classroom, game-based learning can have similar positive benefits. Students can enjoy mathematics and develop important life skills that will help them in their current…

Elif Çelik; Sevim Sevgi – Journal of Educational Technology and Online Learning, 2025
This research investigates the impact of mathematical problems created with Scratch on the problem-solving skills of 8th-grade middle school students. The research was based on the descriptive design of mixed research approaches. In this direction, the research model was single-group pretest-posttest design, which is a weak experimental design…

Kwon, Yeil; Sahin, Nesrin – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Probability is generally considered one of the most challenging areas to teach in mathematics education due to its intricate nature. However, the simulation-based teaching method can increase students' accessibility significantly to the probability problems because it enables students to resolve the problems with minimal mathematical skills. By…

Kaufmann, Odd Tore; Stenseth, Børre – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2021
This article attempts to identify the kind of arguments that lower secondary school-level pupils use when they apply programming to solve a mathematical problem. By analyzing the data from one group of three pupils working together with Processing (Processing is a Java based tool primarily to learn programme visual effects supported and…

Lockwood, Elise – Cognition and Instruction, 2022
In this paper, I discuss undergraduate students' engagement in basic Python programming while solving combinatorial problems. Students solved tasks that were designed to involve programming, and they were encouraged to engage in activities of prediction and reflection. I provide data from two paired teaching experiments, and I outline how the task…
