Bank Deposit Computer
Problem-based Digital Making Tasks Make a device that would display a student’s piggy bank balance after each deposit. Compare two offers: The first offer is that the teacher gives her $3 today and $222 everyday thereafter. The second offer is to give her $3 today; then each subsequent weekend (Saturday and Sunday), he gives her double the … Continue reading Bank Deposit Computer
Prime and Composite Number Detector
Problem-based Digital Making Tasks Is 7081 a prime or composite number? Make a prime or composite detector. How CT may Support Mathematics Learning The use of conditionals and Boolean operators will come into play when checking whether a number is prime or composite. In particular, students will need to loop a function to check the divisibility of a … Continue reading Prime and Composite Number Detector
Fibonacci Sequence Machine
Problem-based Digital Making Tasks To generate terms of Fibonacci Sequence and observe its parity. How CT may Support Mathematics Learning Recursive repetition will support the generation of terms in the Fibonacci Sequence. Problem solving will be encountered with the first two entries of the Fibonacci Sequence being 1 and 1. Naming of two variables will … Continue reading Fibonacci Sequence Machine
Mathematical Problem Solving through Digital Making: Envisioning a Computationally Enhanced Mathematics Curriculum in Hong Kong’s Primary and Secondary Schools
Principal Investigator (2021-present). This study builds on the PI’s previously developed conception of “learning as Making” to envision a computationally enhanced mathematics curriculum. It will inform the “big picture” of how using computers might fundamentally change mathematics learning, with an emphasis on mathematical problem solving (and more generally, STEM education). Funded by the Research Grants … Continue reading Mathematical Problem Solving through Digital Making: Envisioning a Computationally Enhanced Mathematics Curriculum in Hong Kong’s Primary and Secondary Schools
An Exploratory Study of Primary Students’ Mathematical Problem Solving Processes during Digital Making Activities
Principal Investigator (2020-present). This study aims to explore students’ problem-solving processes, mathematical thinking, and any CT- and mathematics-related challenges that emerge during problem-based dM activities. Funded by Chinese University of Hong Kong Direct Grant ($39,300 HKD). Publication: Ng, O., Cui, Z. (in press). Examining primary students’ mathematical problem-solving in a programming context: Toward a computationally … Continue reading An Exploratory Study of Primary Students’ Mathematical Problem Solving Processes during Digital Making Activities
