Case Study: Transforming Mathematics Education with Maple, Maple Learn, and the Flipped Classroom Approach
This article presents the implementation of a blended learning framework, centered on the flipped classroom model, for teaching mathematics at the secondary level. The approach was applied in a diverse classroom, including students benefiting from reasonable accommodations. It integrates a wide array of resources: educational video capsules, self-assessment modules, and interactive exercises using Maple Learn, as well as randomly generated exercises with or without solutions, utilizing the advanced capabilities of Maple. These digital tools are complemented by non-digital materials, such as puzzles and scientific articles from educational magazines, all structured into a meticulously designed learning pathway. The framework combines synchronous and asynchronous activities, supported by a Teams forum to encourage collaborative learning and ongoing interaction. It emphasizes differentiated instruction, continuous formative assessment, the creation of adaptive exercise tools with immediate and personalized feedback, and advanced modules for students eager to deepen their understanding. This article explores the impact of these strategies on developing student autonomy, reinforcing conceptual skills, and promoting active cognitive engagement. The Pythagorean Theorem serves as a case study to illustrate the effectiveness of this approach.
