Yeung, Wing-Leung; Ng, Oi-Lam – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2022
In this paper, we introduce a technology-enhanced pedagogical sequence for supporting lower secondary school students' sense-making of the concept of volume in a non-procedural and non-formula-driven way. Specifically, we illustrate a novel approach of using dynamic geometric environment (DGE) to introduce the meaning of volume and then deriving…

Man, Yiu-Kwong; Poon, Kin-Keung – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
In this paper, we report a pilot study on engaging a group of undergraduate students to explore the limits of sin(x)/x and tan(x)/x as x approaches to 0, with the use of non-graphic scientific calculators. By comparing the results in the pretest and the post-test, we found that the students had improvements in the tested items, which involved the…
