Modeling: MoveOn Design: Michal Yerushalmy, Judah Schwartz, Beba Shternberg. Programming: Alexander Zilber Graphics: Tanya Tsytkin From a beginning, which is simple and obvious to every computer user -free painting with the mouse -, we proceed to different options and special motions, to graphs of path, speed and other variables versus time, and learn to recognize graphs as representations of events. The mathematics lab in MoveOn provides iconic graphs that can be used as mathematical models of real phenomena and allows construction of symbolic models on the basis of the graphic experience. The design of MoveOn is based on studies that show the benefit of visual thinking as a basis for constructing models of real phenomena, and that describe the obstacles involved in understanding the difference between “drawing pictures” and “mathematical graphs”. MoveOn supports reflection on events that, formerly, could only be understood by students of advanced physics. The software is suitable for learning general facts and mathematical descriptions even before starting algebra studies. It can be used for learning about different families of functions in junior-high, or within topics such as learning functions, equations with two variables and parametric representation and physics in high school.
