Ponce Campuzano, J. C.; Roberts, A. P.; Matthews, K. E.; Wegener, M. J.; Kenny, E. P.; McIntyre, T. J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
In this paper we present two simulations designed with GeoGebra that illustrate dynamically a key concept in Vector Calculus: line integrals of vector fields, along with other associated mathematical properties and applications. Students are not required to know the GeoGebra environment: a user-friendly interface with buttons, functionalities and…

Rodrigues, H.; dos Santos, A. C.; Soares, A. – Physics Education, 2020
In this article, physical quantities related to the motion of a parachute system in the framework of Newton's law of mechanics guide an informal approach to the mathematical concept of function. Furthermore, a graphical simulator that enables visualization of the fall of object-parachutes system is presented. The article is aimed at students and…

Hldreth, Laura A.; Robison-Cox, Jim; Schmidt, Jade – Statistics Education Research Journal, 2018
This study examines the transferability of results from previous studies of simulation-based curriculum in introductory statistics using data from 3,500 students enrolled in an introductory statistics course at Montana State University from fall 2013 through spring 2016. During this time, four different curricula, a traditional curriculum and…
