Direct linkSakow, Matthew; Karaman, Ruveyda – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2015
Many students struggle with algebra, from simplifying expressions to solving systems of equations. Students also have misconceptions about the meaning of variables. In response to the question "Can x + y + z ever equal x + p + z?" during a student interview, the student claimed, "Never . . . because p has to have a different value…

Dimiceli, Vincent E.; Lang, Andrew S. I. D.; Locke, LeighAnne – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2010
This article describes the benefits and drawbacks of using Wolfram|Alpha as the platform for teaching calculus concepts in the lab setting. It is a result of our experiences designing and creating an entirely new set of labs using Wolfram|Alpha. We present the reasoning behind our transition from using a standard computer algebra system (CAS) to…
