Teaching exponential function properties: Practical and experiential activities on smartphone

Abstract

This study mainly forms knowledge about Properties of Exponential Functions content for 11^th-grade students through practical and experiential activities based on David Kolb's Experiential Learning Theory using smartphones. The research focuses on the perspectives of teaching these properties through practical and experiential activities in Mathematics. The content of the learning situation revolves around having students practice on smartphones through GeoGebra embedded on the Google Sites website and answer a set of questions, thereby forming the target knowledge for students. The study emphasizes the effectiveness of teaching Math through practical and experiential activities in information technology environment, specifically mobile phones. This approach is consistent with modern educational trends, aiming to make mathematics more applicable, attractive, and effective.
