Abstract
Since the introduction of the first iPad in 2010, the overall number of apps and, consequently the number of apps intended to support mathematical learning, have increased exponentially. This observation results in the need for quality information about apps and also on the various possibilities for teachers to evaluate apps in an efficient and reliable way. Artifact-Centric Activity Theory (ACAT) is a model developed to capture complex situations that arise when digital technology is introduced in classroom situations. Furthermore, ACAT provides a framework to help teachers to evaluate apps. In this article we show how to use the ACAT framework for the evaluation of mathematics apps
