Digital media have become increasingly important in recent years and can offer new possibilities for mathematics education in elementary schools. From our point of view, geometry and geometric objects seem to be suitable for the use of computer-aided design software in mathematics classes. Based on the example of Tinkercad, the use of CAD software…

Professional development programs today increasingly ask teachers to capture video in their own classrooms to share with peers. Yet little work has explored the nature of the videos that teachers produce for this purpose. This study takes a first step by looking inside a set of almost 200 videos collected by 84 K-2 teachers participating in one of…
