Mesa, Vilma; Suh, Heejoo; Blake, Tyler; Whittemore, Timothy – PRIMUS, 2012
We present an analysis of several characteristics of examples in 10 college algebra textbooks used in community colleges or 4-year institutions. We analyzed the examples along four dimensions: cognitive demand, the responses expected, the use of representations, and the strategies available for verifying the correctness of the solutions. We found…

Santos-Trigo, Manuel; Barrera-Mora, Fernando – PRIMUS, 2011
The study documents the extent to which high school teachers reflect on their need to revise and extend their mathematical and practicing knowledge. In this context, teachers worked on a set of tasks as a part of an inquiring community that promoted the use of different computational tools in problem solving approaches. Results indicated that the…

Marchand, R. J.; McDevitt, T. J.; Bosse, Michael J.; Nandakumar, N. R. – PRIMUS, 2007
Many popular mathematical software products including Maple, Mathematica, Derive, Mathcad, Matlab, and some of the TI calculators produce incorrect graphs because they use complex arithmetic instead of "real" arithmetic. This article expounds on this issue, provides possible remedies for instructors to share with their students, and demonstrates…
