Direct linkNoble, Tracy; Nemirovsky, Ricardo; Dimattia, Cara; Wright, Tracey – International Journal of Computers for Mathematical Learning, 2004
In this article, we will describe the results of a study of 6th grade students learning about the mathematics of change. The students in this study worked with software environments for the computer and the graphing calculator that included a simulation of a moving elevator, linked to a graph of its velocity vs. time. We will describe how the…

Peer reviewedNemirovsky, Ricardo; Tinker, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Describes software, hardware, and devices that were designed to provide students with an environment to experiment with basic ideas of mechanics, including nonlinear dynamics. Examines the behavior of a Lorenzian water wheel by comparing experimental data with theoretical results obtained from computer-based sensors. (MDH)
