  • First Online:

Part of the book series: Mathematics Education in the Digital Era ((MEDE,volume 9))

Abstract

The idea of this book arose from research encounters occurred during a past ICTMT Conference: the International Conference on Technology in Mathematics Teaching. The ICTMT Conference, which is now moving to its 13th edition, has a strong commitment to promote technology in mathematics education for improving the quality of teaching and learning by effective use of technology. In recent years, international research in mathematics education has offered a range of theoretical perspectives that attempted to provide different and interrelated frames and viewpoints to the study of use and role of digital technologies in/for teaching and learning mathematics.
