Integrating mathematical applets in mathematics education has increasingly become an established practice. However, despite growing evidence regarding their contribution to learners, the level of adoption of tsuch applets into common teaching practices remains quite low.
Of the many reasons one can give for that under-utilization, are lack of empirically based practices for using these applets along the curriculum, as well as lack of accessible data-driven tools that will inform teachers with insights along the learning process.
This project aims at promoting Mathematics teaching and learning, by equipping teachers with guidance and tools for using digital applets.
