This essay extends beyond the characteristics and discourse of word problems to, more generally, school mathematical problem-solving and the implications entailed by a predominant paper-and-pencil mode of learning and instruction since the modern era of education. Contrasting what I call "one-handed" (with paper-and-pencil) with…

This paper presents the findings of a comprehensive experimental study examining the impact of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) compared to traditional teaching methods on learner performance and motivation in mathematics education. The study, conducted with 80 first-year college learners from a primary school in Morocco, aimed to assess the…

This paper presents research activity on computer-based mathematics learning to study the effectiveness of open-source teaching computer platforms (Canvas) in computer-assisted instruction. We designed a set of multiple-choice online quizzes as a dynamical flow-chart of possible paths to follow while solving a difficult math problem on…
