Abstract

This paper explores the potential impact of a full teacher-driven design and implementation cycle of an electronic book (c-book). We analyse data gathered from a school case study and identify the potential of the affordances of the c-book technology that allow the integration of various mathematical widgets and reflective activities. Our conjecture is that encouraging flexibility on playful tasks and reflection on ‘bridging’ activities early in the structure of the book prepared the students to more complex constructionist tasks around the concept of Reflection. Looking into the full cycle from design to evaluation this study demonstrates a successful integration of a digital resource in the mathematics classroom and highlights some of the successful components of the resource namely: playful activities for students, matched with carefully designed bridging activities, followed by constructionist activities that allow deeper exploration of the subject matter.
