Ingólfur Gíslason – Research in Mathematics Education, 2024
I explore students' discourses in small groups working on mathematical problems using GeoGebra, focusing on the Cartesian connection between algebra and geometry. Specifically, the interest lies in what is internally persuasive for students in upper-secondary school (11th grade) with histories of low attainment. Three problem-solving episodes are…

Wanda Nugroho Yanuarto; Elfis Suanto; Ira Hapsari; Aulia Nisa Khusnia – Mathematics Teaching Research Journal, 2024
An Augmented Reality (AR) approach to creating a maths education app is the focus of this research. To turn the 2D floor plan into 3D objects, students will use their mobile devices to scan the cards. Students can have a better understanding of the 3D shape from various angles by interacting with virtual 3D items. Students can gain a deeper…

Ardiç, Mehmet Alper; Isleyen, Tevfik – Malaysian Online Journal of Educational Technology, 2017
This study aimed at determining the secondary school mathematics teachers' and students' views on computer-assisted mathematics instruction (CAMI) conducted via Mathematica. Accordingly, three mathematics teachers in Adiyaman and nine 10th-grade students participated in the research. Firstly, the researchers trained the mathematics teachers in the…

Leikin, Roza; Grossman, Dorith – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
We explored transformations that teachers made to modify geometry proof problems into investigation problems and analyzed how these transformations differ in teachers who use a dynamic geometry environment (DGE) in their classes and those who do not. We devised a framework for the analysis of problem transformations and types of teacher-generated…

Chang, Hyewon; Reys, Barbara J. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2013
Geometry is a major area of study in middle school mathematics, yet middle school and secondary students have difficulty learning important geometric concepts. This article considers Alexis-Claude Clairaut's approach that emphasizes engaging student curiosity about key ideas and theorems instead of directly teaching theorems before their…

Turk, Halime Samur; Akyuz, Didem – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2016
This study investigates the effects of dynamic geometry based computer instruction on eighth grade students' achievement in geometry and their attitudes toward geometry and technology compared to traditional instruction. Central to the study was a controlled experiment, which contained experimental and control groups both instructed by the same…

Mainali, Bhesh Raj; Key, Mary Beth – International Journal for Mathematics Teaching and Learning, 2012
This article describes a professional development initiative for fifteen mathematics teachers in the use of dynamic geometry software GeoGebra. A four-day introductory workshop was given in Nepal to provide an overview of GeoGebra and its possible integration in the teaching/learning of secondary school mathematics there. Teachers' impressions and…

Magajna, Zlatan – Center for Educational Policy Studies Journal, 2013
Proving in school geometry is not just about validating the truth of a claim. In the school setting, the main function of the proof is to convince someone that a claim is true by providing an explanation. Students consider proving to be difficult; in fact, they find the very concept of proof demanding. Proving a claim in planar geometry involves…

Lin, John Jr-Hung; Lin, Sunny S. J. – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2014
The present study investigated (a) whether the perceived cognitive load was different when geometry problems with various levels of configuration comprehension were solved and (b) whether eye movements in comprehending geometry problems showed sources of cognitive loads. In the first investigation, three characteristics of geometry configurations…

Mamolo, Ami; Sinclair, Margaret; Whiteley, Walter J. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Proportional reasoning pops up in math class in a variety of places, such as while making scaled drawings; finding equivalent fractions; converting units of measurement; comparing speeds, prices, and rates; and comparing lengths, areas, and volume. Students need to be exposed to a variety of representations to develop a sound understanding of this…
