McCulloch, Allison W.; Kenney, Rachael H.; Keene, Karen Allen – School Science and Mathematics, 2013
This paper reports on a mixed-methods study of 111 Advanced Placement calculus students' self-reports of their graphing calculator use, comfort, and rationale for trusting a solution produced with or without a graphing calculator when checking written work. It was found that there was no association between gender, teacher-reported mathematical…
