Exploring Quadratic Equations with Digital Tools in Mathematics Teacher Education
نویسندگان
چکیده
The paper offers teaching ideas for a technology-enhanced mathematics teacher education course related to an advanced inquiry into one-variable quadratic equations with parameters in place of coefficients. Mathematical activities behind the ideas have been interpreted using the notions of the technology immune/technology enabled (TITE) problem, digital fabrication, collateral learning, and hidden mathematics curriculum. The activities, leading to explorations that can be considered as rudiments of real problems arising in science and engineering, are in support of recommendations by the Conference Board of the Mathematical Sciences [The Mathematical Education of Teachers II, Washington, DC: Mathematical Association of America, 2012] for the preparation of secondary teacher candidates.

'It's getting me thinking and I'm an old cynic' : exploring the relational dynamics of mathematics teacher change
Actor-network theory is a way of describing and understanding the complexity of social change. This article explores its relevance to understanding teacher change in mathematics education by considering a single teacher change narrative. This is centred on a veteran teacher of mathematics who participated in a teacher led, teacher-educator-supported professional development project. The project...
متن کاملSolving the liner quadratic differential equations with constant coefficients using Taylor series with step size h
In this study we produced a new method for solving regular differential equations with step size h and Taylor series. This method analyzes a regular differential equation with initial values and step size h. this types of equations include quadratic and cubic homogenous equations with constant coeffcients and cubic and second-level equations.
متن کاملAbout One Sweep Algorithm for Solving Linear-Quadratic Optimization Problem with Unseparated Two-Point Boundary Conditions
In the paper a linear-quadratic optimization problem (LCTOR) with unseparated two-point boundary conditions is considered. To solve this problem is proposed a new sweep algorithm which increases doubles the dimension of the original system. In contrast to the well-known methods, here it refuses to solve linear matrix and nonlinear Riccati equations, since the solution of such multi-point optimi...
متن کاملQuadratic $alpha$-functional equations
In this paper, we solve the quadratic $alpha$-functional equations $2f(x) + 2f(y) = f(x + y) + alpha^{-2}f(alpha(x-y)); (0.1)$ where $alpha$ is a fixed non-Archimedean number with $alpha^{-2}neq 3$. Using the fixed point method and the direct method, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the quadratic $alpha$-functional equation (0.1) in non-Archimedean Banach spaces.
