Computer-based mathematics education (CBME) is an approach to teaching mathematics that emphasizes the use of computers. It is still a developing field which has yet to realize the expectations formed in the early days of computing.[1]
Computers in education
Computers are used in education in a number of ways, such as interactive tutorials, hypermedia, simulations and educational games [2].
Tutorials are types of software that present information, check learning by question/answer method, judge response and provide feedback[2] and usually provide students study personally. MathMedia Educational Software and Bilelim Geometry are examples of this type.
Hypermedia provides students a database of information with multiple navigation methods and learning facilities, and also, a freedom of independence during the learning[2].
Simulations provide students interaction with in order to learn as it were real life[2] and use the storage and processing features of computers. An example is Crocodile-Clips.
Educational games are more like simulations and used from elementary to college students[2]. The Incredible Machines is a good example of this type.
