Math-Bridge is based on an ITS and is an e-learning tool for mathematics that can be used in various pedagogical scenarios: acquiring knew mathematical knowledge, revising known concepts, deepening knowledge or training competencies. We carried out an experiment testing Math-Bridge in a short revision session with 96 first-year students before...

La cryptographie est un domaine propice pour étudier les interactions entre mathématiques et informatique. Nous présentons la conception d'une situation didactique basée sur un système cryptographique asymétrique. Cette situation a été expérimentée dans une formation d'enseignants.

In this chapter, we examine the relevance of and interest in including some instruction in logic in order to foster competence with proof in the mathematics classroom. In several countries, educators have questioned of whether to include explicit instruction in the principles of logical reasoning as part of mathematics courses since about the...

This chapter arose out of discussions of the working group on argumentation, logic, and proof and proving in mathematics. It concerns the relationships between argumentation and proof and begins by addressing the question of what we mean by argumentation and whether it includes mathematical proof. For the purposes of education, we regard...

In this paper, we present an activity to introduce the idea of public-key cryptography and to make pre-service STEM teachers explore fundamental informatics and mathematical concepts and methods. We follow the Theory of Didactical Situations within the Didactical Engineering methodology (both widely used in mathematics education research) to...
