Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2011
Manipulatives have been used in many mathematics classrooms across many age groups with the aim of helping students to understand abstract concepts through concrete, kinesthetic, and visual experiences. In this paper, after we provide a background for the use of physical and virtual manipulatives in teaching and learning of mathematics, we will…

Guerrero, Shannon; Walker, Norman; Dugdale, Sharon – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
Use of technology in middle grade mathematics is controversial. Major policy documents have teachers torn between enthusiasm for technology-facilitated mathematical investigation and cautions about undermining students' computational skills. This article examines research concerning use of computers and calculators in mathematics at the middle…
