Božic, Radoslav; Takaci, Ðurdica; Stankov, Gordana – Interactive Learning Environments, 2021
The authors described the influence of the GeoGebra based environment on students' achievements in the field of functions with parameters, during collaborative learning. Functions with parameters are important because of their application in science. Students had to choose different values for parameters and to examine the properties of the…

Habre, Samer – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2017
Covariational reasoning has been the focus of many studies but only a few looked into this reasoning in the polar coordinate system. In fact, research on student's familiarity with polar coordinates and graphing in the polar coordinate system is scarce. This paper examines the challenges that students face when plotting polar curves using the…

Nagle, Courtney Rose – ProQuest LLC, 2012
The limit concept plays a foundational role in calculus, appearing in the definitions of the two main ideas of introductory calculus, derivatives and integrals. Previous research has focused on three stages of students' development of limit ideas: the premathematical stage, the introductory calculus stage, and the transition from introductory…

McGinty, Jenny; Ninness, Chris; McCuller, Glen; Rumph, Robin; Goodwin, Andrea; Kelso, Ginger; Lopez, Angie; Kelly, Elizabeth – Psychological Record, 2012
A small-group, web-interactive approach to teaching precalculus concepts was investigated. Following an online pretest, 3 participants were given a brief (15 min) presentation on the details of reciprocal math relations and how they operate on the coordinate axes. During baseline, participants were tested regarding their ability to construct…

Sturges, Linda W. – ProQuest LLC, 2010
The present study investigated the extent to which providing students with individualized performance feedback informed and directed their learning behavior. Individualized performance feedback was delivered to students using curriculum-based measurement progress indicators, either as a visual representation of ongoing performance in the form of a…

Cook, Darwyn – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2006
For those instructors lacking artistic skills, teaching 3-dimensional calculus can be a challenge. Although some instructors spend a great deal of time working on their illustrations, trying to get them just right, students nevertheless often have a difficult time understanding some of them. To address this problem, the author has written a series…
