Learning Mathematics

Language as a communication tool has an important role in interaction between human beings. Language can be used by humans to convey ideas, ideas, desires, feelings and experiences to others. Especially in a learning activity where communication tools such as language must be clearly and easily understood. In learning mathematics, the language of mathematics is very important in helping the learning process. Because to understand mathematical concepts easily requires mathematical language skills. However, the situation on the ground shows that students' understanding of mathematical language is not optimal. This study aims to determine the effect of students' mathematical language on understanding material. So the results of this study can be used by teachers as a reference in teaching mathematics to students and teachers become more concerned with students' mathematical language abilities. The method used in this study is the study of literature, which examines relevant previous studies and concludes based on the results obtained. The results of this study are that if students have understood the language of mathematics well, students can receive and understand the material easily and can increase student interest in learning. So indirectly high mathematical language skills can improve students' mathematical ideas to be more structured and convincing. Moreover, on material related to many symbols such as algebra. In addition, students can receive and understand the material easily and student interest in learning will increase.

Value Decomposition

Technology has significantly emerged in various fields, including healthcare, government, and education. In the education field, students of all ages and backgrounds turn to modern technologies for learning instead of traditional methods, especially under challenging courses such as mathematics. However, students face many problems in understanding mathematical concepts and understanding how to benefit from them in real-life. Therefore, it can be challenging to design scientific materials suitable for learning mathematics and clarifying their applications in life that meet the students’ preferences. To solve this issue, we designed and developed an interactive platform based on user experience to learn an advanced concept in the idea of linear algebra called Singular Value Decomposition (SVD) and its applicability in image compression. The proposed platform considered the common design principles to map between the provider in terms of clear mathematical explanation and the receiver in terms of matching good user experience. Twenty participants between the ages of 16 and 30 tested the proposed platform. The results showed that learning using it gives better results than learning traditionally in terms of the number of correct and incorrect actions, effectiveness, efficiency, and safety factors. Consequently, we can say that designing an interactive learning platform to explain an advanced mathematical concept and clarify its applications in real-life is preferable by considering and following the common design principles.

The Impact

This article is devoted to a comparative analysis of the results of the ReMath project (Representing Mathematics with digital media), devoted to the study of digital representations of mathematical concepts. The theoretical provisions and conclusions of this project will be analyzed based on the theory of the information environment [1], developed with the participation of one of the authors of this article. The analysis performed in this work partially coincides with the conclusions of the ReMath project, but uses a different research basis, based mainly on the work of Russian scientists. It is of interest to analyze the work of the ReMath project from the conceptual positions set forth in this monograph and to establish links between concepts and differences in understanding the impact of computer tools (artifacts) on the process of teaching mathematics. At the same time, the authors dispute the interpretation of some issues in Vygotsky’s works by foreign researchers and give their views on the types and functions of digital artifacts in teaching mathematics.
