The Potential of Digital Tools at the Service of the Mathematical Community

Abstract

The success of digital technology in mathematics education includes the design of digital tools. In this article, we will describe two tools that are available for teaching and learning mathematics: the MathCityMap system, which includes the MathCityMap@home, and the ASYMPTOTE system. These systems consist of two components, namely a web portal for teachers and a smartphone App for students. We will feature the Digital Classroom which allows the teacher to monitor students’ work and progress in real time. In addition, it allows students to interact not only with the teacher but also with each other. These systems meet the requirements of online and distance learning using smartphones. MathCityMap and ASYMPTOTE systems were designed for the educational en-vironment, but they can be used in a variety of contexts. For example, in busi-nesses, decision-making.
