Biza, Irene; Zachariades, Theodossios – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 2010
This study concerns 182 first year mathematics undergraduates' perspectives on the tangent line of function graph in the light of a previous study on Year 12 pupils' perspectives. The aim was the investigation of tangency images that settle after undergraduates' distancing from the notion for a few months and after their participation in…

Ho, Andrew D.; Haertel, Edward H. – National Center for Research on Evaluation, Standards, and Student Testing (CRESST), 2006
Problems of scale typically arise when comparing test score trends, gaps, and gap trends across different tests. To overcome some of these difficulties, we can express the difference between the observed test performance of two groups with graphs or statistics that are metric-free (i.e., invariant under positive monotonic transformations of the…
