A new article by Daranee Lehtonen et al. on the potentials of tangible technologies for learning linear equations was published in Multimodal Technologies and Interaction. A prototype of the initial tangible manipulative was developed and evaluated in real classroom settings using mixed methods. The findings indicate that the manipulative prototype is likely to benefit linear equation learning in pre-primary to lower secondary schools. The prototype supported students’ understanding of equation-solving concepts, languaging, and learning through discovery and social interaction as well as had a positive impact on their equation learning achievement.
