Augmenting mathematics with mobile technology

Augmenting mathematics with mobile technology
Augmenting mathematics with mobile technology
This chapter describes two case examples of the use of mobile technology for
mathematics. Building on the assumption that mobile learning has a positive effect on student attitudes and academic outcomes, including STEM subjects (Hsi, 2007; Wu et al., 2012) we develop a theoretical lens for future studies for ‘mobile mathematics’. The two case examples describe how mobile technology could provide opportunities for ‘mathematics outside the classroom’. The first example describes a dynamic Ferris wheel, the second a static cathedral. Both examples demonstrate how ‘geo-location’ and ‘augmented reality’ features allow mobile technologies to bridge formal and informal mathematics learning (Lai, Khaddage and Knezek, 2013).

Abstract

This chapter describes two case examples of the use of mobile technology for
mathematics. Building on the assumption that mobile learning has a positive effect on student attitudes and academic outcomes, including STEM subjects (Hsi, 2007; Wu et al., 2012) we develop a theoretical lens for future studies for ‘mobile mathematics’. The two case examples describe how mobile technology could provide opportunities for ‘mathematics outside the classroom’. The first example describes a dynamic Ferris wheel, the second a static cathedral. Both examples demonstrate how ‘geo-location’ and ‘augmented reality’ features allow mobile technologies to bridge formal and informal mathematics learning (Lai, Khaddage and Knezek, 2013).
