What is MatCos 3.X

This chapter will summarize the extensive and multi-year experimentation carried out in many Italian secondary and primary schools, of the pedagogical-didactic proposal developed in the previous chapters. The teaching/learning of computer-based mathematics, as a programming tool, with software appropriate to the context, named MatCos, is given. In particular, the organization of the experimentation will be described, and the various phases will be illustrated. The results with the relative evaluation method will also be considered. Finally, works prepared independently by some participating students will be presented and commented. The opinion of some experimental teachers and school managers will close the chapter.
