Direct linkWilhelm, Jennifer Anne; Confrey, Jere – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
This paper reports a study designed to probe the abstraction ability that US Algebra I students can achieve in moving the concepts rate of change and accumulation between motion and money contexts. The Algebra I students used the technologies motion detectors and Interactive Banking software during a replacement unit focused on slope, ratio, and…

Peer reviewedDemana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Discusses solutions to real-world linear particle-motion problems using graphing calculators to simulate the motion and traditional analytic methods of calculus. Applications include (1) changing circular or curvilinear motion into linear motion and (2) linear particle accelerators in physics. (MDH)
