Design of digital resources by and for mathematics teachers

Abstract

This text is the written version of the plenary talk given at the third conference on Mathematics Education in the Digital Era, held from 7-9th September 2022 in Nitra, Slovakia. Research on the use of digital technology in mathematics teaching and learning shows that key affordances of technology emanate from the tasks that are used with it. Moreover, carefully designed tasks with their appropriate enactment by teachers are necessary for an efficient use of technology fostering students’ learning. In this talk, we therefore focus on digital resources offering technology-based mathematical tasks, adopting the perspective of their design. We draw on our experience of a course for pre-service mathematics teachers based on collaborative design of digital resources.
