Peer reviewedWaits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Presented are two reasons discouraging computer symbol manipulation systems use in school mathematics at present: cost for computer laboratories or expensive pocket computers; and impracticality of exact solution representations. Although development with this technology in mathematics education advances, graphing calculators are recommended to…
