Peer reviewedLum, Lewis – Mathematics Teacher, 1995
Illustrates exploration of composition of functions, translations, and inverse functions on a graphing calculator. Includes reproducible student worksheets. (MKR)
Descriptors: Calculus, Discovery Learning, Functions (Mathematics), Graphing Calculators
Peer reviewedPicciotto, Henri – Mathematics Teacher, 1996
Describes an activity in which students are given a set of designs and are required to use their electronic grapher to reproduce the designs. The activity reinforces students' understanding of lines and of the formula for a linear function. (MKR)

Peer reviewedDonley, H. Edward; George, Elizabeth Ann – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Demonstrates how to construct rational, exponential, and sinusoidal functions that appear normal on one scale but exhibit interesting hidden behavior when viewed on another scale. By exploring these examples, students learn the importance of scale, window size, and resolution effects in computer and calculator graphing. (MAZ)
