Exploring space and measurement with the ClassPad 300 *
نویسنده
چکیده
Hand-held technologies have offered less support for learning about space and measurement than they have for other strands of mathematics. This paper describes a recent development which seems promising in this respect, Casio’s ClassPad 300. The mechanisms of providing interactive opportunities for students are described and illustrated, and some possible ways in which this sort of device might be used productively in mathematics learning are offered. A range of mathematical ideas are used, including geometric properties and relationships, coordinate geometry, transformations in the plane, mensuration and conics.

The Design and Use of eActivities for Learning Mathematics*
The recent development by Casio of the hand-held ClassPad 300 device raises a number of important questions for the design of mathematical learning experiences for students. This paper provides a brief description of the ClassPad 300 and its mathematical capabilities, followed by a description of the idea of an eActivity, well provided for in the operating system of the device. As their name su...

Background The concept of decision space holds appeal as an approach to disaggregating the elements that may influence decision-making in decentralized systems. This narrative review aims to explore the functioning of decision space and the factors that influence decision space. Methods A narrative review of the literature was conducted with searches of online databases and academic journals ...
متن کاملExploring the Meaning of Quality from Urban Space Users’ Viewpoint by Analyzing Conceptual Environment Codes
The main purpose of urban design is to create good and high-quality urban spaces and environments for people to live while such quality may not be determined only by imposing a structural, perceptual and value system of the designer. It can be said that human and his powers to perceive surrounding environments are the focus of urban design. Having reviewed previous researches and theories in re...
متن کاملExploring the role of dimethylarginine dimethylaminohydrolase-mediated reduction in tissue asymmetrical dimethylarginine levels in cardio-protective mechanism of ischaemic postconditioning in rats
Objective(s): Reperfusion of ischaemic myocardium results in reduced nitric oxide (NO) biosynthesis by endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) leading to endothelial dysfunction and subsequent tissue damage. Impaired NO biosynthesis may be partly due to increased levels of asymmetrical dimethylarginine (ADMA), an endogenous inhibitor of eNOS. As dimethylarginine dimet...
