Jaciw, Andrew P.; Toby, Megan; Ma, Boya – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2012
Tablets such as the iPad represent the next iteration of technologies that hold promise to facilitate learning, particularly in mathematics. In the case of algebra, tablets have the potential to bring the curriculum to life by easily linking to supporting materials and they allow an interactive experience whereby manipulation of one type of…
