Direct linkZucker, Andrew A.; Hug, Sarah T. – Journal of Science Education and Technology, 2008
1:1 laptop programs, in which every student is provided with a personal computer to use during the school year, permit increased and routine use of powerful, user-friendly computer-based tools. Growing numbers of 1:1 programs are reshaping the roles of teachers and learners in science classrooms. At the Denver School of Science and Technology, a…

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…

Peer reviewedAdie, G. – Physics Education, 1998
Explains how the graphing calculator can be used in simulations of physics experiments and how its use for plotting graphs requires a shift in emphasis from obtaining an experimental result to evaluating that result. (DDR)

Wilhelm, 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 reviewedDrier, Hollylynne Stohl; Dawson, Kara M.; Garofalo, Joe – Educational Leadership, 1999
Technology offers tools and information that students need to explore real-world mathematical connections and investigate questions reflecting their own interests. This article illustrates how students can use technology to gather and interpret information, perform descriptive and graphical analysis, make statistical predictions, and create 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)
