Lockwood, Elise; Erickson, Sarah – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Counting problems offer rich opportunities for students to engage in mathematical thinking, but they can be difficult for students to solve. In this paper, we present a study that examines student thinking about one concept within counting, factorials, which are a key aspect of many combinatorial ideas. In an effort to better understand students'…

Benakli, Nadia; Kostadinov, Boyan; Satyanarayana, Ashwin; Singh, Satyanand – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
The goal of this paper is to promote computational thinking among mathematics, engineering, science and technology students, through hands-on computer experiments. These activities have the potential to empower students to learn, create and invent with technology, and they engage computational thinking through simulations, visualizations and data…

Beare, R. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2008
Professional astronomers use specialized software not normally available to students to determine the rotation periods of asteroids from fragmented light curve data. This paper describes a simple yet accurate method based on Microsoft Excel[R] that enables students to find periods in asteroid light curve and other discontinuous time series data of…

Ames, D. M.; Leathard, D. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The computer programs require the students to show that they understand the calculations by processing one set of data correctly themselves before the remaining sets are computed for them. (MP)
