Abstract

This research uses cloud-based math writing to make every student’s ideas valued. Teachers and students can give feedback and reflect on the similarities and differences between their ideas and their own, and use manipulatives aids to help students construct mathematical concepts. Therefore, this study adopted a quasi-experimental research method. The experimental group used “cloud virtual teaching aids in collaborative mathematics writing”, and the control group used “cloud virtual teaching aids in general mathematics writing”. The experimental results show that there is no significant difference in learning achievement, learning motivation and mathematics problem-solving strategies. The interviewed students believed that this teaching could help him better understand mathematical concepts, and the production of teaching aids had a high degree of freedom, so he could consider extending the research time before conducting research.
