Scott Cameron; Lynda Ball; Vicki Steinle – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2024
This paper reports changes in the extent to which a group of Year 11 students used a Computer Algebra System (CAS), pen-and-paper (P&P), or a combination of both, when solving routine problems across seven months in four different topics. Comparing the frequency of CAS use across topics shows students made greater use of CAS in the topics of…

Cameron, Scott; Ball, Lynda – Mathematics Education Research Group of Australasia, 2015
This paper reports on a study of choices about the use of a computer algebra system (CAS) or pen-and-paper (p&p) by a class of seven Year 11 Mathematical Methods (CAS) students as they completed a calculus worksheet. Factors that influenced students' choices are highlighted by comparing and contrasting the use of CAS and p&p between…

Lagrange, Jean-Baptiste – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
Casyopee is an evolving project focusing on the development of both software and classroom situations to teach algebra and analysis at upper secondary level. In this article, we sketch the rationales for the Casyopee project in relationship with the focus on functions in upper secondary curricula. To evaluate Casyopee's contribution, we present…

Geiger, Vince; Faragher, Rhonda; Goos, Merrilyn – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2010
This paper draws on a one year study of three secondary school classrooms to examine the nature of student-student-technology interaction when working in partnership with computer algebra systems (CAS) on mathematical modelling tasks and the classroom affordances and constraints that influence such interaction. The analysis of these data indicates…

Hegedus, Stephen; Dalton, Sara; Brookstein, Arden; Tapper, John; Heller, Eric – Society for Research on Educational Effectiveness, 2011
The authors' proposed work builds upon 12+ years of research collectively known as the "SimCalc Projects." SimCalc Connected MathWorlds (SCM) combines two innovative technological ingredients to address core mathematical ideas in deep and sustainable ways for mathematics learners. Software that addresses content issues through dynamic…

Schmidt, Karsten; Kohler, Anke; Moldenhauer, Wolfgang – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2009
This paper reports on the effects the use of a pocket calculator-based computer algebra system (CAS) has on the performance in mathematics of grade 11 students in Germany. A project started at 8 of about one hundred upper secondary schools in the federal state of Thuringia in 1999; 3 years later the former restrictions on the use of technology in…
