“…It is a constraint logic programming application, which allows users to generate mathematics drills automatically, depending on the grade, the topic and the difficulty chosen and provides a one line solution for each exercise. Users can also refine exercise generation by setting different values for particular parameters [32].…”

Mobile and online learning applications become more known year after year and are used today from millions of students and educators in all over the world. Wireless mobile devices like smartphones, PDAs and tablets, could be used to benefit students’ learning in or out of the classroom. In front of the idea of inclusion of mobile learning in educational process, we represent in this paper some important case studies which examine the consequence of using mobile tools and apps, as well as online applications in mathematics teaching, at all educational levels.

“…There are several educational tools in mathematics aimed at supporting learners. For example, AGILMAT is an application that focuses on the practice of calculus and algebra exercises for secondary education (Tomás et al, 2007), adapting the set of exercises to different levels and stages of learning. GeoGebra is a software tool that allows learners to practice geometry, algebra, graphics, statistics, and calculus (Hohenwarter et al, 2008), representing functions, surfaces, or volumes in a graphical way, and supporting the practice of functions, derivatives, etc.…”

ABENEARIO: A system for learning early maths with ABN

et al. 2023

ABN (Abierto Basado en Números—Open Calculation Based on Numbers) is a method for teaching basic arithmetic operations in primary education that has become popular in recent years and that is based on the decomposition of numbers through manipulative materials that encourage mental calculation. Currently there is limited number of tools that can be used to support the ABN method and so this article presents the design and development of two tools that facilitate learning with this method, a physical device, ABENEARIO-P, and a virtual device (web application), ABENEARIO-V, that complements the physical device. In addition, a study of the use of these tools was carried out with 80 learners (ages 7 and 9) and 9 teachers with a focus on ABENEARIO-V. The results of this study showed a positive evaluation of the tool by both learners and teachers, an adequate time to complete the mathematical operations assigned to learners and an improvement in performance as the tool was used. As a conclusion, it is important to provide adequate tools that can support teachers and learners in the practice with the ABN method as in the case of ABENEARIO-P and ABENEARIO-V. Limitations refer mainly to the context of the study, which was conducted at a time of severe social distance restrictions during the COVID-19 pandemic on touching physical devices or being able to gather a larger number of learners in the classroom.

We present an application of constraint logic programming to create multiple-choice questions for math quizzes. Constraints are used for the configuration of the generator, giving the user some flexibility to customize the forms of the expressions arising in the exercises. Constraints are also used to control the application of the buggy rules in the derivation of plausible wrong solutions to the quiz questions. We developed a prototype based on the core system of AGILMAT [18]. For delivering math quizzes to students, we used an automatic evaluation feature of Mooshak [8] that was improved to handle math expressions. The communication between the two systems-AgilmatQuiz and Mooshak-relies on a specially designed L A T E X based quiz format. This tool is being used at our institution to create quizzes to support assessment in a PreCalculus course for first year undergraduate students. Research funded in part by the ERDF/COMPETE Programme and by the Portuguese Government through the FCT-Fundação para a Ciência e Tecnologia under the projects PEst-C/MAT/UI0144/2011 and FCOMP-01-0124-FEDER-022701.
