Amenda N. Chow; Peter D. Harrington; Fok-Shuen Leung – Teaching Mathematics and Its Applications, 2024
Physical experiments in classrooms have many benefits for student learning, including increased student interest, participation and knowledge retention. While experiments are common in engineering and physics classes, they are seldom used in first-year calculus, where the focus is on solving problems analytically and, occasionally, numerically. In…

Ilya Sinitsky – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2023
The ability to solve geometric construction problems is justly regarded as an essential component of mathematical culture. The dynamic, general nature of objects provided by dynamic geometry systems allows the development of intuitive methods for solving construction problems. The core mathematical concept underlying this approach is the loci…

Du, Xu; Dai, Miao; Tang, Hengtao; Hung, Jui-Long; Li, Hao; Zheng, Jinqiu – Journal of Computing in Higher Education, 2023
Distance education programs have become the preferred option for most higher education institutions to continue teaching during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the effectiveness of some online courses, especially those engineering courses with experimentation activities, remains disputed. The main challenge is fostering collaborative problem solving…
