Edwards, Thomas; Özgün-Koca, S. Asli; Chelst, Kenneth – Mathematics Teacher: Learning and Teaching PK-12, 2021
In this article, the authors share activities designed to help students make a connection between the complex roots of X[superscript 2] - 2x + 5 = 0 and the graph of y = X[superscript 2] - 2x + 5. We piloted these activities in three precalculus classes. The activities involved both concrete and technological representations of the mathematical…
