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)

Adams, Thomasenia L. – Florida Education Research Council Research Bulletin, 1994
Algebra students typically pay little attention to choosing appropriate domains, ranges and scales of axes for graphing functions. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of introducing an assignment and employing the graphing calculator to examine and alleviate students' difficulties regarding the selection of appropriate domains,…

Peer reviewedDonley, H. Edward; George, Elizabeth Ann – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Demonstrates how to construct rational, exponential, and sinusoidal functions that appear normal on one scale but exhibit interesting hidden behavior when viewed on another scale. By exploring these examples, students learn the importance of scale, window size, and resolution effects in computer and calculator graphing. (MAZ)
