Murillo Hernández, José Alberto – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper a class of regular surfaces, generated by rotation and twist of a rigid line segment, is considered. Firstly a complete description of those surfaces by means of local charts is obtained and then its orientability is characterized in terms of the number of half-twists, taking into account their direction (clockwise or…

Nathan, Mitchell J.; Wolfgram, Matthew; Srisurichan, Rachaya; Walkington, Candace; Alibali, Martha W. – Journal of Educational Research, 2017
This classroom-based investigation sought to document how, in real time, STEM teachers and students attempt to locate the invariant mathematical relations that are threaded through the range of activities and representations in these classes, and how highlighting this common thread influences student participation and learning. The authors…

Bellamy, John S.; Mativo, John M. – Technology Teacher, 2010
At a high school level, sometimes students can perceive math as simply another step towards graduation and learn just what is needed to get by. If realistic examples were used more often in classroom settings, then teachable moments would happen--and that is where inspiration can be fostered. This article provides thoughts and ideas behind the…

Moaveni, Saeed – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2007
In this paper, we will focus on an innovative way to teach some of the engineering fundamentals at the freshman level in an introductory engineering class. Unfortunately, today many students graduate without a good grasp of these fundamental concepts--concepts that every engineer, regardless of his or her area of specialization, should know. In…
