Graph, Equation and Unique Correspondence: Three Models of Students' Thinking about Functions in a Technology-Enhanced Precalculus Class.
PDF on ERIC Download full text
Martinez-Cruz, Armando M. – 1995
This paper documents how eight high school students in a precalculus class enhanced with graphing calculators think about functions. Three models of thinking about functions emerged from students' function images observed over a period of 9 months. In the graph model, students believed that functions are essentially graphs; in the equation model,…
