چکیده

Mathematics skill deficiencies for entrants into degrees are welldocumented. Quizzes at the first month of semester and mid-term test confirmed that incoming students to the Shahid Rajaee Teacher Training University lacked basic mathematical skills. In 2011 visual learning resources were created using smart board, an interactive whiteboard, to help
students fill the gap between high school and university mathematics. They were also used to support student learning in subjects. The visual resources demonstrated and discussed how to start and complete mathematics problems. They enabled students to develop their conceptual understanding of mathematics at their own pace, in their own time and with feedback. The visual resources enabled weaker students to catch up and additional resources were subsequently developed to sustain improvements in new topics. This paper discusses the production process of the visual resources
and provides an overview of their impact
