PowerPoint is a learning aid, developed for presentations. PowerPoint has "dynamic" features for creating presentations with dynamic actions. The knowledge of the infinite backward multiplier is difficult to understand. One of the difficulties in understanding this knowledge is infinity, "dynamic". In this study, we use the…

This paper explains teaching modern geometry for schools using software called Surfer and converting the algebraic surfaces into Batik motifs as one example of teaching mathematics with the integration of STEAM. Typical algebraic surfaces known in schools were, for example, cylinders and spheres which are identified as traditional geometry in this…

As a distinct mode of mathematical representation and communication, geometry diagrams are both signs that represent abstract geometric concepts and visual images that offer graphical-spatial properties. Dynamic geometly environment offers a wide range of tools for its users to create and interact with geometry diagrams. In this paper, I propose a…

On the one hand, mathematical software is ubiquitous in mathematics education. On the other hand, word problems are an important part of the curriculum, and they often require modelling skills. This is especially true with optimisation and extrema problems proposed to high school and undergraduate students. We propose two activities around extrema…

Recent research in mathematics education shows that by exploring the properties of figures and making conjectures, especially through dynamic geometry software, students can better develop their understanding of concepts. Furthermore, comparing different geometric worlds and, within them, different representations enhances Euclidean knowledge. In…

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of a digital game designed within the framework of hierarchic interactionalism theory on the development of the concept of area in secondary school students. The digital game used in this study was designed after being influenced by the preliminary concepts and skills related to the concept of area…

To further enhance its usability and better serve teachers' needs a new connected classroom technology, called GeoGebra Classroom was developed. in this paper, we outline the results of the potential uses of GeoGebra Classroom in mathematics teaching and learning. in our Design Research study, we utilized the combination of educational research…

The article presents some examples of plane geometric variance of an area with the use of computer technology. These tools can offer teachers opportunities for adaptation and preparation of pedagogical presentations which will help students along the process of fruitful conjectures formation and eventually construction of formal deductive proofs.…

This paper discusses the conception of an online formative assessment tool in the field of functional thinking and focuses on the first cycle of a design-based research project. This tool is based on a preceding qualitative research project in an Austrian grade 7 class for examining students' conceptions as well as possible influences of designed…

A classroom activity for high-school students, aiming at introducing space geometry from plane geometry has been introduced back in 2009 by Mammana, Margarone, Micale, Pennisi and Pluchino (2009a). The activity was based on the use of a Dynamic Geometry System and of the analogy between figures. Several aspects of the activity have been studied in…

Technology integration in K-12 mathematics has received increased attention in the last decade as new mathematical technologies have been developed and implemented more often. There is a need for further research on these technologies and for effective implementation practices of technology in mathematics education in general. in practice,…

In this study I examine the issue of how to support students' coordination of computer algebra systems (CAS) and paper-and-pencil in solving mathematics problems. Together with a classroom teacher I designed and conducted a collaborative teaching experiment in a ninth-grade algebra classroom to understand how to support students' coordination of…

In this paper, we focus our discussion on the strategy we follow to scaffold high school students to successfully build models of a real-life system. Our aim is for students to gradually achieve a higher level of autonomy and to use and further develop their mathematical knowledge. We present work students did when we asked them to build a model…

In this paper, the authors present results of their pilot research on nonverbal elements' perception. They pay attention to a not yet well established system of evaluation in mathematics textbooks from the perspective of nonverbal elements and sum up their findings from pilot researches on pupils' operations with nonverbal elements. Pilot surveys…

In this paper, we document the results of the implementation of a series of activities related to an optimisation problem. The objective is describing how the construction of mathematical meanings is promoted when the students face the problem through different representations. The activities, addressed towards 15 year old students, surge from a…
