The rest of the paper follows the structure below: 1. Criteria for a Good Definition of Mathematics 2. Definition 1: covering mathematics up to the end of the 18th century (1790s) 3. Two Perspectives Mathematics as Dialectic (Lakatos) Mathematics shaped by its Anthropology (Hoyrup) 4. Defin...
In one session, we administered the pencil-and-paper scales (AMAS, MPP, PRS and reading test); in the second session, participants were tested with the computerized tasks (mathematics, numerosity estimation, VSWM tasks). For the computerized tasks, participants sat in front of a LG 27 ...
2. Theoretical Framework Probabilistic literacy refers to a citizen’s ability to be able to understand and interpret daily life probabilistic information [2,7,37,38]. For [7], when we talk about probability literacy, we must consider probability as a basic tool for statistics to be able to...
(run4math), conducted three mathcamps, visited over 200 schools, supported more than 20 schools with calculators, textbooks and graph paper, provided hygiene lessons and sanitary towels to over 2,000 girls, and impacted more than 1 million learners. how they plan to use the funding: to ...
Our purpose in this paper is to discuss how the creation of videos with mathematical content may contribute to this process of rendering the classroom borderless, as well as how this activity can become a teaching and learning tool. We ground our discussion in social semiotics, a theory that ...
Technology integration into education is a significant development that has facilitated using digital resources in teaching mathematical culture (TMC). Des
Mathematics 2021, 9, 3300. https://doi.org/ 10.3390/math9243300 Abstract: The teaching of probability is conditioned by teachers' mathematical knowledge. In this paper, an exploratory study is carried out with prospective teachers. A training task was designed requiring them to create and solve ...
Based on Shannon’s communication theory, in the present paper, we provide the theoretical background to finding an objective measurement—the text-entropy—that can describe the quality of digital natural language documents handled with word processors. The text-entropy can be calculated from the fo...
To bridge the gaps, this paper developed an integrated approach for hybrid thermosolar concentrating systems for EDC optimization, based on exact matrix mathematics, which can be used as a research tool for multicriteria economic management decisions. This approach solves the optimal EDC problem of ...
