Abstract :
This research investigated the possible impacts of computers on Turkish
fourth-grade students’ geometry scores and further geometric learning. The
study used a pretest–intervention–posttest experimental design. Results
showed that students who did not have computers at home initially had lower
geometry scores. However, these differences were minimised with an
appropriate intervention containing computer-based Tangram puzzles. This
suggests that at schools, it seems more effective to integrate mathematical
content and technology in a manner that enables students to do playful
mathematical discoveries.
