Dolores-Flores, Crisólogo; Rivera-López, Martha Iris; García-García, Javier – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2019
This paper reports the results of a research exploring the mathematical connections of pre-university students while they solving tasks which involving rates of change. We assume mathematical connections as a cognitive process through which a person finds real relationships between two or more ideas, concepts, definitions, theorems, procedures,…

Martínez-Zarzuelo, Angélica; Roanes-Lozano, Eugenio; Fernández-Díaz, María José – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2017
The educational laws establish an organization and a grouping of the contents of the educational system they rule. As far as we know, the set of experts who design it neither follow precise objective criteria nor use computer tools. That is why they are not usually rotund. We consider that defining precise objective criteria is the key to develop…

Yost, David – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2008
A derivative is the limit of a quotient. It is an abstraction of division. Since division is harder to understand than multiplication, teachers teach it later, hopefully only after a sound understanding of multiplication has been attained. For the same reason, it may make sense to teach integration first, and move on to differential calculus only…
