Abstract

Study of student interest for and work with interactive nonroutine mathematics problems (ESCOT Problems of the Week (EPoWs); mathforum.org/escotpow/) posted on The Math Forum site was undertaken to address two questions: (1) What is the contribution of applet-enhancements to students' interest for and work with nonroutine challenge problems? And, (2) what are the effects of story context and other person scaffolding on student interest for and work with interactive online problems?
