Peer reviewedLagrange, Jean-Baptiste – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1999
Stresses the links between the technical work and the conceptual reflection in the learning of mathematics and argues that the potential of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) is to be found in the more varied and richer techniques that CAS can offer. Reports on an experiment with DERIVE as well as findings of research on graphical calculators, and…

Peer reviewedKokol-Voljc, Vlasta – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2000
Reviews examination questions and categorizes them according to their usefulness in a Computer Algebra System (CAS) environment with respect to their significance for testing abilities and skills and from the point of view of using a CAS for their solution. Examination questions are presented as an important didactical tool in teaching…

Peer reviewedMalabar, Ian; Pountney, Dave – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Describes the outcomes and discusses possible implications for the development of assessment with a Computer Algebra System (CAS) when a group of undergraduate mathematics students, familiar with using a CAS in examinations, tackled an assortment of traditional (i.e., non-CAS type) questions.

Peer reviewedHarris, Gary A. – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2000
Discusses the use of a computer algebra system in a capstone mathematics course for undergraduate mathematics majors preparing to teach secondary school mathematics. Provides sample exercises intended to demonstrate how the power of a computer algebra system such as MAPLE can contribute to desired outcomes including reinforcing and strengthening…

Peer reviewedBrown, Roger – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Reviews what is happening in examination systems that have begun to allow the use of Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) in externally set 'high stakes' assessment regimes. Discusses possible options for the future with the intention of developing a dialogue on how assessment with a CAS can help develop the mathematical literacy of students. (Author/MM)

Peer reviewedSchultz, James E.; Noguera, Norma – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2000
Describes a teaching experiment in which spreadsheets and computer algebra systems were used to teach a low-level college consumer mathematics course. Students were successful in using different types of functions to solve a variety of problems drawn from real-world situations. Provides an existence proof that computer algebra systems can assist…
