Herbert, Sandra; Pierce, Robyn – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2008
Does speed provide a "model for" rate of change in other contexts? Does JavaMathWorlds (JMW), animated simulation software, assist in the development of the "model for" rate of change? This project investigates the transference of understandings of rate gained in a motion context to a non-motion context. Students were 27 14-15 year old students at…

Noble, Tracy; Nemirovsky, Ricardo; Dimattia, Cara; Wright, Tracey – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
In this article, we will describe the results of a study of 6th grade students learning about the mathematics of change. The students in this study worked with software environments for the computer and the graphing calculator that included a simulation of a moving elevator, linked to a graph of its velocity vs. time. We will describe how the…
