Prospective Teachers' Use of Computing Tools To Develop and Validate Functions as Mathematical Models.

Zbiek, Rose Mary

Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, v29 n2 p184-201 Mar 1998

Explores the strategies used by prospective secondary mathematics teachers (N=13) to develop and validate functions as mathematical models of real-world situations. Uses a grounded hypothesis on strategy selection. Concludes that strategy choice was influenced by task characteristics and interactions with other student modelers. Contains 38 references.
