Abstract

Regarding the controversy on the benefit of digital technology in mathematics education, the way (what and how) a digital tool presented to students is the primary matter determining the effectiveness of such a tool. This paper suggests that sensorimotor based digital tools supporting comprehensive experiences to their users (i.e. perceptual, sensory and motoric experiences) potentially foster students’ cognitive development. Such tools are appropriate for learning abstract and mental entities, such as mathematics, for their power to embody abstract concepts.
