This paper proposes a taxonomy of the pedagogical opportunities that are offered by mathematics analysis software such as computer algebra systems, graphics calculators, dynamic geometry or statistical packages. Mathematics analysis software is software for purposes such as calculating, drawing graphs and making accurate diagrams. However, its…

Identifies and describes some of the mathematics curriculum issues associated with graphing calculators such as equity, role of calculators, content and sequencing, textbook design, learning to use a calculator, worksheets, student decision-making, calculator dependence, assessment, electronic algorithms, multiplying choices, calculator…

Technology has revolutionized the way mathematics and science are taught and few innovations in mathematics education have had as much impact as the graphing calculator. Fourteen classroom teachers were brought together during the summer of 1997 and during a week-long workshop, the teachers collaborated to develop a resource guide for integrating…
