Symons, Duncan; Pierce, Robyn – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2019
This is the first article in a series of two that offers some excellent advice for schools and teachers about how thoughtful and purposeful integration of technology can benefit mathematics classrooms. Several important principles to be considered are examined. [For the second article, "Beyond Fluency: Promoting Mathematical Proficiencies…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – Journal of Mathematics Teacher Education, 2013
This paper explores how four good teachers, who do not have a special interest in technology, meet the challenge of introducing the rapidly developing mathematics analysis software (e.g. spreadsheets, function graphers, symbolic algebra manipulation and dynamic geometry) into their classrooms. These teachers' practice is viewed through the…

Pierce, Robyn; Bardini, Caroline – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2015
Since the 1990s, computer algebra systems (CAS) have been available in Australia as hand-held devices designed for students with the expectation that they will be used in the mathematics classroom. The data discussed in this paper was collected as part of a pilot study that investigated first year university mathematics and statistics students'…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2010
This paper proposes a taxonomy of the pedagogical opportunities that are offered by mathematics analysis software such as computer algebra systems, graphics calculators, dynamic geometry or statistical packages. Mathematics analysis software is software for purposes such as calculating, drawing graphs and making accurate diagrams. However, its…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye; Ball, Lynda – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2005
Digital photos and digital movies offer an excellent way of bringing real world situations into the mathematics classroom. The technologies surveyed here are feasible for everyday classroom use and inexpensive. Examples are drawn from the teaching of Cartesian coordinates, linear functions, ratio and Pythagoras' theorem using still images, and…

Pierce, Robyn; Stacey, Kaye – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
This article suggests a framework to organise a cluster of variables that are associated with students' effective use of computer algebra systems (CAS) in mathematics learning. Based on a review of the literature and from the authors' own teaching experience, the framework identifies the main characteristics of students' interactions with CAS…
