Pérez, Arnulfo; Braaten, Bailey; MacConnell, Robert – Mathematics Teacher, 2019
Students tend to see mathematical functions as static, mysterious objects that must be approached according to a set of rules and procedures laid out in mathematics textbooks (Clement 2001). Because learners so rarely experience functions as a meaning-making tool that matters to their understanding of the world, they miss critical opportunities to…
