Code It! fosters mathematics learning environments
where pre-algebra students use handheld technologies
to explore and learn about functions. The resources
developed—server-based and handheld software and
paper-based student and teacher texts—were
packaged as a 20-session unit on code making and
breaking and designed to boost students’
understanding of functions and their facility with the
multiple representations of tables, graphs and
symbols. We field tested the wireless system with two
teachers and 120 students during summer school, and
conducted studies on the features and function of the
technology as a learning and teaching resource. We
report on project development and research, focusing
on lessons learned about the strengths and difficulties
of wireless, handheld technology in the mathematic
classroom.
