In mathematics, sciences and economics, understanding and working with graphs are important skills. However, developing these skills has been shown to be a challenge in secondary and higher education as it involves high order thinking processes such as analysis, reflection and creativity. In this study, …

Education and the so-called Matthew effect (the rich get richer, the poor get poorer) are inextricably linked. Over forty years ago, the psychologist Stanovisch was the first who demonstrated that children who achieve the intended results of education early (reading, writing and math skills) have a lifelong …

Website van het project Interactive Virtual Math. Hier heb je toegang tot verschillende versies van de applicatie, de auteur omgeving, onderwijsmateriaal en onderzoek naar het leren met de applicatie.

We investigated whether Early Algebra lessons that explicitly aimed to elicit mathematical discussions (Shift-Problem Lessons) invoke more and qualitatively better mathematical discussions and raise students’ mathematical levels more than conventional lessons in a small group setting. A quasi-experimental …

De doelstellingen van het Interactive Virtual Math-project zijn het ontwerpen en ontwikkelen van de digitale tool voor het leren van grafieken bij dynamische contexten op de middelbare school (14-17 jaar oud) en om het gebruik van nieuwe technologieën voor leren in de klas te verkennen. Onderzoek biedt …

[Paper abstract]: The aims of the Interactive Virtual Math-project are to design and develop a digital tool for learning covariation graphs at high school (14-17 years old students) and to explore the use of new technologies for learning in classroom. Research provides some didactical directions to develop …

Interactive Virtual Math is a webapplicatie waarmee leerlingen grafieken kunnen tekenen. Versie 2 wordt ontwikkeld door de lectoraat van de bètavakken (HvA) en Numworx.

Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is a visualization tool to support secondary school students’ learning of graphs by dynamic events. In the prototype version students construct a graph and try to improve it themselves and with the feedback of the tool. In a small-scale experiment, which involved four classes …

Interactive Virtual Math (IVM) is a visualization tool to support secondary school students’ learning of dynamic functions situations graphs. The logbook-function allows teachers to get continuous and real-time assessment on classroom progress and of individual students’ learning process. In a teaching …
