Design and test of a digital module for algebraic skills

Our research focuses on the question in what way ICT can play a fruitful role in acquiring, practising and assessing algebraic skills. For this we first described desired characteristics of these tools (Bokhove & Drijvers, in press), and piloted the tool in one-to-one sessions.

The module’s characteristics are:
