White, Tobin; Wallace, Matthew; Lai, Kevin – Mathematical Thinking and Learning: An International Journal, 2012
This article presents a design experiment in which we explore new structures for classroom collaboration supported by a classroom network of handheld graphing calculators. We describe a design for small group investigations of linear functions and present findings from its implementation in three high school algebra classrooms. Our coding of the…
