Implementation of the Kid Krypto Concept: Computer Assisted Teaching of Number Theory and Cryptography Volume/Issue Vol 2, Issue 3 Date Thursday, 1 August, 2002 Journal Name MSOR Connections Author(s) Alexandre V Borovik Abstract I wish to start by briefly outlining a conceptual framework for my views on the didactical efficiency of computer assisted methods in teaching mathematics. According to David Mumford [9, p199], mathematics is “the study of mental objects with reproducible properties”. Learning mathematics has at least two intertwined aspects: Interiorisation of other people’s mental objects. The development of the reproduction technique for your own mental objects. Assessment of software for teaching and learning mathematics should addressthese two issues, interiorisation and reproduction. DOI doi:10.11120/msor.2002.02030023 File upload msor.2.3k.pdf [1]
