Interdependence Revisited: Mathematics Achievement in an Intensified French Immersion Program
The Canadian Modern Language Review, 2001This study examines the effect of teaching mathematics in French on mathematics achievement evaluated in English. In this context it analyzes the effect of increased intensity of bilingual education on mathematics achievement. It also analyzes the effects of language of testing in the context of French immersion at the intermediate level.

Application of Web-based Immersive Virtual Reality in Mathematics Education
2020 21th International Carpathian Control Conference (ICCC), 2020This paper deals with design and implementation of web-based, virtual reality (WebVR) application MathworldVR for teaching higher mathematics concepts that require spatial abilities. It describes the use of methods and approaches of instrumental interaction within VR through direct visual manipulation of input variables of parametrized functions, which

Mathematical Analysis of Extremity Immersion Cooling for Brain Temperature Management
2004Due to the low heat conductivity of body tissue, head surface cooling methods for management of the brain temperature during medical treatments often have limited utility. As blood flow rates and surface-to-volume ratios are generally high in the extremities, heat exchange between the body and the environment through the extremities is an important ...

Evaluating the Impact of Cai on Mathematics Learning: Computer Immersion Project
Journal of Educational Computing Research, 1986A project designed to examine the effects of maximizing time on computer and computer-to-pupil ratio was implemented in an urban middle school in the Southwest. A sixth grade classroom was equipped with enough microcomputers for a 1:1 computer-to-pupil ratio.

Dynamic Mathematical Figures with Immersive Spatial Displays: The Case of Handwaver
2019We report on the design and development of HandWaver, a mathematical making environment for use with immersive, room-scale virtual reality. A beta version of HandWaver was developed at the IMRE Lab at the University of Maine and released in the spring of 2017.

Mathland: Constructionist Mathematical Learning in the Real World Using Immersive Mixed Reality
2018Mathematical experiences are intrinsic to our everyday lives, yet mathematics education is mostly confined to textbooks. Seymour Papert used the term ‘Mathland’ to propose a world where one would learn mathematics as naturally as one learns French while growing up in France.

Time, Immersion and Articulation: Digital Technology for Early Childhood Mathematics
2018Over the past five years, I have been involved in two major technology-based early childhood research projects, one focused on geometry (Geometry4yl) and the other on number sense (TouchCounts), both deeply rooted in a Papertian approach to technology design that seeks to transform mathematics and, potentially, the teaching and learning of mathematics.

Learner Agency and Academic Discourse in a Sheltered-Immersion Mathematics Class
2017Students and teachers alike commonly view mathematics as an objective discipline to be learned through rote memorization. This view of the field is rooted in a traditional ideology of classroom roles in which any question has exactly one answer and the teacher is positioned as the ultimate authority. The case for reform has been made to deepen students’
