Ismael Cabero; Carl Winsløw – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2025
The notion of function is central in all of the secondary curriculum, and indeed functional models appear in almost all higher education that is based on mathematics. However, in secondary education, functions usually appear in restricted and somewhat sterile forms. In this (mostly theoretical) paper, we present a proposal -- exemplified by a…
