Simmt, Elaine – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1997
Reports on a research study that examined how some teachers used graphing calculators in their instruction of mathematics, and how their views of mathematics were manifested in the ways in which they chose to use this technology. Suggests that teachers used graphing technology as an extension to the way they always taught the unit. Contains 23…

Shore, Mark; Shore, JoAnna; Boggs, Stacey – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2004
A current project for the Allegany College of Maryland Mathematics Department is using spreadsheets in some of their General Education Mathematics courses. It is important to note that one of the key features of this project is that is does not require an introductory computer course as a prerequisite for any of the mathematics courses that will…

Brown, Jill – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 2004
Technology is evolving and now some secondary classrooms see students using computer algebra systems (CAS), however, Zbiek (2003) points out that "graphical representations seem to abound in CAS-using classrooms" and "many [research] studies of the use of CAS depend highly on the graphing component of the tool". Kissane (2001) suggests that with…

Stacey, Kaye – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2005
In his recent article in this journal, John Gough (2004) concludes that the practical results of the considerable academic research undertaken at the University of Melbourne into the uses and impacts of graphics calculators and CAS (computer algebra systems) should be made more widely available in journals for teachers. This short article is…

Palmer, Claire – Mathematics Teaching, 2003
This author's mission was to try out some materials being developed by a member of an advisory team, and give feedback about how they worked in the classroom. She was provided with detailed lesson plans, including mental and oral starters, and a list of resources. Her objective was to explore and interpret collected data using ICT in order to draw…

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,…
