The usage of digital media, especially tablet apps, is currently a major concern in educational settings. A controversial discussion is also taking place in relation to mathematics education at primary schools. While on the one hand there are empirical findings on helpful isolated examples and related subject-didactic potentials of digital media,…

Barrón-Estrada, María Lucia; Zatarain-Cabada, Ramón; Romero-Polo, Jorge Abraham; Monroy, Julieta Noguez – Education and Information Technologies, 2022
Pattern recognition is an important skill of Computational Thinking and is one of the most important competences for solving a problem that involves finding similarities or patterns in small problems to solve more complex ones. In this work, we present the mobile application software Patrony. The main contribution of this work is to promote the…

Xiaoxuan Fang; Davy Tsz Kit Ng; Wing Tung Tam; Manwai Yuen – Educational Technology Research and Development, 2025
In recent years, studies have discussed how to introduce computational thinking (CT) concepts in mathematics education through mobile app development. In this study, the design of mathematics lessons based on the 5E instructional model to extend the idea of CT in a mobile technology environment (i.e., mobile CT) was investigated. Twenty-three…

Beal, Carole R.; Rosenblum, L. Penny – Journal of Visual Impairment & Blindness, 2018
Introduction: The authors examined a tablet computer application (iPad app) for its effectiveness in helping students studying prealgebra to solve mathematical word problems. Methods: Forty-three visually impaired students (that is, those who are blind or have low vision) completed eight alternating mathematics units presented using their…

Falloon, Garry – Teaching and Learning Research Initiative, 2017
Despite successive waves of technological innovation being rapidly adopted by schools, teaching methods and curriculum designs have been slow to evolve in response to the affordances offered by an increasing array of digital devices. This project explored student thinking, problem solving and collaboration when using digital tablets (iPads) for a…

Kyriakides, Andreas O.; Meletiou-Mavrotheris, Maria; Prodromou, Theodosia – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2016
This article reports on the main experiences gained from a 2-year study which incorporated A.L.E.X., an educational puzzle game available on iPad or Android tablet devices, within the primary school mathematics curriculum. The study took place in a public primary school, located in a rural area of Cyprus. The majority of its students come from low…
