Synergy of Technologies in Teaching Mathematics

The article gives an overview of professional mathematical software which students entering universities of technology are likely to use from the very beginning of their engineering studies. The article is intended as information for secondary school teachers who would like to make the transition between secondary school and university easier for their students. The software is discussed from t...

Unifying the Classical Approach with New Technologies: An Innovative Proposal for Teaching Mathematics in Engineering

— The aim of this paper is to present a teaching experience developed in the Polytechnic University of Cartagena and, more specifically, in the subject of Mathematical Methods Applied to Civil Engineering, that belongs to the Master Degree of Paths, Channels and Ports. Our classes were a mix between the traditional system and the new educational system. Moreover, we tried to adapt the evaluatio...

Technology-Enriched Teaching of Secondary Mathematics: Factors Influencing Innovative Practice

This paper reports on the initial phase of a research study that is investigating how and why secondary school mathematics teachers use digital technologies to help their students learn. Case studies of a beginning teacher and an experienced teacher, both of whom are regarded as effective users of technology, aim to identify critical factors that support or hinder innovative teaching and learni...

Web Advanced Learning Technologies for Multilingual Mathematics Teaching Support

In this paper we present the European Union-funded eContent project WebALT—Web Advanced Learning Technologies. The authors' group is building a "significant application which exploits a combination of existing standards for representing mathematics on the web (e.g. MathML and OpenMath) and linguistic technologies in order to enable the creation of language-independent mathematical content" in t...
