Liang, Senfeng – International Journal of Research in Education and Science, 2016
Although the mathematics community has long accepted the concept of limit as the foundation of modern Calculus, the concept of limit itself has been marginalized in undergraduate Calculus education. In this paper, I analyze the strategy of conceptual conflict to teach the concept of limit with the aid of an online tool--Desmos graphing calculator.…

Smeal, Mary; Walker, Sandra; Carter, Jamye; Simmons-Johnson, Carolyn; Balam, Esenc – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2013
Traditionally, mathematics has been taught using a very direct approach which the teacher explains the procedure to solve a problem and the students use pencil and paper to solve the problem. However, a variety of alternative approaches to mathematics have surfaced from a number of different directions. The purpose of this study was to examine the…

Asing-Cashman, Joyce G. – ProQuest LLC, 2011
The purpose of this qualitative case study was to examine the modeling of technology by mathematics professors in two universities in teaching required courses for secondary level pre-service mathematics teachers. Six professors participated in this case study. Their responses were documented in pre- and post-interviews and data were gathered from…

Picard, Gilles; Pineau, Kathleen – 2001
Since the 1999 fall semester, the TI-92 Plus or the TI-89 has been a compulsory purchase for new students entering one engineering school in Montreal, Canada (almost 1000 enrolments a year). The purpose of this paper is to share impressions of a campus-wide experience and to communicate solutions adopted to help students and faculty members in the…

Zoltek, S. M.; Dick, S. S. – 1997
This paper presents teaching strategies and examples developed for a two-semester sequence in quantitative problem solving, specifically outlining a non-calculus derivation of linear regression formulas supported by the graphical display of the TI-83 calculator to visualize the minimization of the sum-squared vertical distances. The paper…

Perera, Vic – 2002
This paper presents some ideas on how to utilize TI-83 Plus calculators to perform division of one polynomial (the divided) by another polynomial (the divisor) and how that procedure might be incorporated into a college algebra lesson. Four ways to obtain the quotient and remainder when dividing a polynomial by a first-degree polynomial are…

Todorov, Todor D. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2001
Criticizes the method of using calculators for the purpose of selecting candidates for L, for the limit value of a function. Suggests an alternative: a working formula for calculating the limit value L of a real function in terms of infinitesimals. (Author/ASK)

Keller, Brian; Russell, Chris; Thompson, Heather – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1999
Reports on a study replicating and extending a previous study examining the effects of the TI-92 graphics calculator and calculus instruction on students' success in calculus. Finds that students using a TI-92 had significantly better performance on the final exam and overall course grade than students using other calculators, and student-centered…

Mittag, Kathleen Cage; Taylor, Sharon E. – 1996
This paper presents the features of graphic calculator technology that can be implemented in noncalculus-based educational statistics courses. The objectives are to: (1) present potential uses of the graphing calculator; (2) discuss current research concerning graphing calculator implementation in the classroom; and (3) illustrate current…

Schuette, Paul H. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1998
Discusses the rationale behind the technique of rationalizing the denominator in algebra. Argues that the importance of this technique is greatly exaggerated and is usually unnecessary. Examines an appropriate application of rationalizing the denominator. (ASK)

Shore, Mark A. – 1999
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of the Casio 9850 and the TI-85 graphing calculators on college students' procedural skills and conceptual understanding in two different developmental mathematics courses. The courses used in this study were Elementary Algebra and Intermediate Algebra. Both the non-graphing calculator group…

Samaniego, A. Homero Flores; Barrera, Susana Victoria – 1999
A proposal for teaching how to graph functions is presented on the basis of the teaching theory of didactical situations implemented by the French author Guy Brousseau. The proposal is aimed at students in 12th grade in high school (USA) or in a freshman calculus course. The TI-92 graphic calculator was used as a teaching aid. (Author/ASK)

Technology, Cooperative Learning, and Assessment in the Teaching of Ordinary Differential Equations.

Barber, Fredrick; Narayan, Jack – Primus, 1994
Reports on the use of technology to enhance the teaching of ordinary differential equations, gives examples of laboratory activities using cooperative learning, and discusses assessment of student learning. MacMath, TI-81 graphing calculators, and Maple were used in the course. (Author/MKR)
