Learning Mathematics in the Context of 3D Printing: Proceedings of the International Symposium on 3D Printing in Mathematics Education - Paperback

by Frederik Dilling (Editor), Felicitas Pielsticker (Editor), Ingo Witzke (Editor)

The volume presents a collection of articles on the use of 3D printing technology in mathematics education and in mathematics teacher training. It contains both basic research-oriented contributions as well as reflected descriptions of concrete developments for teaching. The authors of this compilation share a positive attitude towards the possibilities that the use of 3D printing technology (understood as an interplay of software and hardware) can unfold for mathematics education, but critically evaluate from a mathematics education research perspective when, where and how an application can enable an added value for the learning of a mathematical content.
