ASSISTIVE TECHNOLOGY AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION: THE CASE OF PHET COLORADO FOR ALGEBRA

Abstract

The article analyzes the impact of the "Expression Exchange" simulator, developed by the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado, as a tool for inclusive teaching of algebraic expressions. It highlights the importance of inclusive education in mathematics teaching, especially for students with specific educational needs, such as dyscalculia, dyslexia, ADHD, or sensory impairments, who face challenges in understanding abstract concepts.
