Abstract

Objectives: This project aims to develop an integration of resources, models, and tools that overcome the tendency for superficial use of computer simulations and enable more mathematics teachers to: (1) Truly leverage the affordances of simulations, (2) Integrate them into their core instruction, and (3) Create learning environments aligned with research-based teaching practices and principles.
