Bos, Rogier; Doorman, Michiel; Drijvers, Paul; Shvarts, Anna – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2022
We study the augmented reality sandbox (ARSB) as an embodied learning environment to foster meaning making in the context of bivariable calculus. We present the case of Tiago, a first-year bachelor chemistry student, performing a series of tasks based on embodied design, including perception-based, action-based and incorporation-based tasks.…

Julianna Washington; Taylor Darwin; Theodora Beauchamp; Candace Walkington – Grantee Submission, 2024
Prisms VR, a secondary math learning application, allows for users to see, manipulate, and engage with mathematical concepts in an embodied way in Virtual Reality (VR) environment. We examine cases in which mathematics teachers and middle school students worked through Prisms and reflected upon their experiences. Findings indicate that VR…

Kwon, Yeil; Sahin, Nesrin – International Society for Technology, Education, and Science, 2021
Probability is generally considered one of the most challenging areas to teach in mathematics education due to its intricate nature. However, the simulation-based teaching method can increase students' accessibility significantly to the probability problems because it enables students to resolve the problems with minimal mathematical skills. By…

Rajiv Satsangi; Stephanie D. Sigmon – Remedial and Special Education, 2024
Whole number computations are a critical skill that serves as a foundation upon which higher-order concepts in mathematics are taught to children. To facilitate their instruction, educators often use multiple representations to support a child's cognition. Representations with physical manipulatives are widely studied through a graduated…

Langer, Karin; Lietze, Stefanie; Krizek, Gerd Ch. – European Journal of Open, Distance and E-Learning, 2021
After a discussion about the possibilities and status of augmented reality in education, a good practice example of an augmented reality application is presented. This case study examines the use of an augmented reality app in higher education to support abstract STEM content, such as vectors. Based on this example, the implementation of such apps…

Dubovi, Ilana; Levy, Sharona T.; Dagan, Efrat – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2018
Proportional reasoning is the basis for most medication calculation processes and is fundamental for high-quality care and patient safety. We designed a simulated Medication Mathematics (siMMath) environment to support proportional reasoning in transitioning via concreteness fading between two mediators. The first mediator is simulated nursing…

Zhang, Xuemao; Maas, Zoe – International Electronic Journal of Mathematics Education, 2019
The use of computer simulations in the teaching of introductory statistics can help undergraduate students understand difficult or abstract statistics concepts. The free software environment R is a good candidate for computer simulations since it allows users to add additional functionality by defining new functions. In this paper, we illustrate…

Cai, Su; Liu, Enrui; Yang, Yang; Liang, Jyh-Chong – British Journal of Educational Technology, 2019
Most studies of Augmented Reality (AR) in education have considered students' learning outcomes and motivation. Previous studies have revealed that AR has the potential to help students learn abstract conceptions in mathematics. In this paper, a series of statistics and probability lessons using AR installed on tablets was designed and developed…

Cahyono, Adi Nur; Sukestiyarno, Yohanes Leonardus; Asikin, Mohammad; Miftahudin; Ahsan, Muhammadi Ghozian Kafi; Ludwig, Matthias – Journal on Mathematics Education, 2020
The aim of this study is to investigate how an augmented reality mobile math trails program can provide opportunities for students to engage in meaningful mathematical modelling activities. An explorative research design was conducted involving two mathematics teachers and 30 eight grades in Semarang, Indonesia. An Augmented Reality Mobile Math…

Goehle, Geoff – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2018
This paper presents a "virtual reality" based lesson for a common Calculus topic, including a description of how the lecture was implemented in both a virtual reality and an augmented reality hardware system. This lesson was delivered to a number of calculus classes and we describe the student response to the lesson via a quiz and a…

Bouck, Emily C.; Park, Jiyoon; Satsangi, Rajiv; Cwiakala, Katie; Levy, Kennedy – Journal of Special Education Technology, 2019
Although often considered a more advanced area of mathematics, principles of algebra are taught throughout different mathematical concepts, and algebra is often considered gateway mathematical knowledge for more advanced mathematical concepts. For this reason, attention is needed toward making algebraic instruction more accessible to all types of…

Bajwa, Neet Priya; Perry, Michelle – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2021
Elementary school students struggle in interpreting the equal sign as a symbol denoting equivalence. Although many have advocated using a pan-balance scale to help students develop this understanding, less is known about what features associated with this model support learning. To attempt to control and examine these features, the investigators…

Anderson-Pence, Katie L.; Tygret, Jennifer A.; Crocker, Lauren – Educational Research: Theory and Practice, 2020
Using a convergent parallel mixed methods design, this exploratory study examined mathematics lessons in two third-grade classrooms to analyze the mathematical classroom discourse when using tutorial instructional software. A chi-square test for independence revealed statistically significant correlations between teachers use of the focusing and…

Kazachkov, Alexander; Kireš, Marián – Physics Education, 2017
Previous work covers building a tower from a stack of homogeneous rectangular plates, each with a maximum shift in displacement. We suggest using plates shaped as curvilinear triangles bounded by segments of power-law functions. The masses of the plates and the position of their center of mass are calculated and measured experimentally after…
