Peer reviewedTeles, Elizabeth J. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1991
Provides a brief explanation why instruction designed for use with the microcomputer can enhance students' understanding of the concept of function. Presents five lessons designed to help students develop a thorough understanding of functions and their uses, to encourage students to explore and verbalize mathematical ideas, and to assist in the…
