Cheng, Kell; Leung, Allen – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2015
This paper reports findings of an explorative study that examine the effectiveness of a GeoGebra-based dynamic applet in supporting students' construction of the formal definition of the limit of a sequence or convergence. More specifically, it is about how the use of the applet enables students to make connections between the graphical…

Radakovic, Nenad; McDougall, Douglas – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2012
This classroom note illustrates how dynamic visualization can be used to teach conditional probability and Bayes' theorem. There are two features of the visualization that make it an ideal pedagogical tool in probability instruction. The first feature is the use of area-proportional Venn diagrams that, along with showing qualitative relationships,…

Tatar, Enver; Akkaya, Adnan; Kagizmanli, Türkan Berrin – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2014
This study was carried out to examine the effects of computer-assisted instruction (CAI) using dynamic software on the achievement of students in mathematics in the topic of reflection symmetry. The study also aimed to ascertain the pre-service mathematics teachers' opinions on the use of CAI in mathematics lessons. In the study, a mixed research…

Gutierrez, Rosa Maria Afonso; Diaz, Jose Angel Dorta – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
The continuous technological progress of the past few decades affords a different orientation to the teaching-learning process, which is useful and advantageous when mathematical concepts are transmitted. This article pursues two different aims. The first one is to examine the present state of the traditional process in relation to the concepts of…
