The revolution of technology in education has heralded a new wave of learning styles and in some cases total dependence on technology. Yet, statistics reveal no significant improvement in student performance in Mathematics and a downward trend in basic algebra skills. The major impediment in the learning process is lack of understanding of the…

This paper presents the features of graphic calculator technology that can be implemented in noncalculus-based educational statistics courses. The objectives are to: (1) present potential uses of the graphing calculator; (2) discuss current research concerning graphing calculator implementation in the classroom; and (3) illustrate current…

Equivalence of algebraic expressions is at the heart of transformational work in algebra. However, we know very little about students' understanding of equivalence. This study is part of a larger project that explores the use of CAS as a didactical tool for promoting both technical and conceptual growth in high school algebra with tasks specially…
