Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Meagher, Michael; Edwards, Michael Todd – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
In this technology-oriented age, teachers face daily decisions regarding the use of advanced digital technologies--graphing calculators, dynamic geometry software, blogs, wikis, podcasts and the like--to enhance student mathematical understanding in their classrooms. In this case study, the authors use the Technological, Pedagogical, and Content…

Ozgun-Koca, S. Asli; Edwards, Thomas G. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
A common activity--having students collect data to measure the radius and circumference of circular objects--can be given a new twist. These data can be viewed virtually using technology. A dynamic geometry environment coupled with the powerful capabilities of a spreadsheet can greatly enhance student learning. The activity in this article…

Browning, Christine A.; Garza-Kling, Gina – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2010
Middle school mathematics classrooms are changing. The curriculum has changed as well. Instead of an annual return to previously encountered topics, many middle school students encounter mathematics of a varying nature, characterized in "Principles and Standards for School Mathematics" (NCTM 2000) as the five Content Standards of Number and…

Blanchard, Margaret; Sharp, Jennifer; Grable, Lisa – Science Teacher, 2009
As part of the "Car Lab Project," students constructed rubber band cars, raced them, and worked through a number of automotive activities. The students engaged in this project certainly had fun, but they also used high-tech gear such as motion sensors and graphing calculators to gather data on the distance and time cars traveled and to generate…

Forkey, Carole – Science Teacher, 1996
Presents the "Before Technology and After Technology" lab where students first complete a simple lab and graph the data by hand and then repeat the lab using graphing calculators. Enables students to see how technology can make data collecting, graphing, and analyzing more fun. (JRH)

Sheryn, Louise – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2006
Within this paper I report on aspects of a study aimed at not only discovering how and when students use a graphical calculator within an Advanced-Level (pre-University) Mathematics course, and what operations and calculations they perform with such calculators, but also the depth and type of learning that takes place when students use graphical…

Trumper, Ricardo; Gelbman, Moshe – Physics Education, 1997
Presents examples of experiments designed for high school students with the help of a microcomputer-based laboratory called Explorer. Argues that these tools enable students to investigate many principles of physics that were not feasible in the past. (DDR)

Kincaid, Charlene; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Presents an activity in which students collect and organize data from a real-world simulation of the scientific concept of half life. Students collect data using a marble sifter, analyze the data using a graphing calculator, and determine an appropriate mathematical model. Includes reproducible worksheets. (MDH)

Albrecht, Bob; Firedrake, George – CSTA Journal, 1998
Running experiments and grabbing experimental data are great ways to learn and teach science and mathematics. Data grabbers are instruments that capture physical data in electronic form for graphing and analysis in graphing calculators and computers. Describes some data grabbers and points to items in their gigantic support system. (PVD)

Albrecht, Bob; Firedrake, George – Learning & Leading with Technology, 1998
Discusses integrating mathematics/science with measurement for grades 6-12. Provides Web addresses for companies manufacturing data grabbers (instruments for gathering data in electronic form for graphing and analysis by graphing calculators and computers) and for sites offering instructional materials. Describes projects in architecture,…
