Peer reviewedDrijvers, Paul; van Herwaarden, Onno – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Describes a classroom experiment using hand-held computer algebra systems (CAS) for the learning of algebra with the aim of developing the conception of a parameter as a means for generalization. The idea of the instrumentation of information and communications technology tools turned out to be fruitful in the interpretation of the students'…
