Students' Difficulties in Operating a Graphics Calculator.
Mitchelmore, Michael; Cavanagh, Michael
Mathematics Education Research Journal, v12 n3 p254-68 Dec 2000
Reports on how students managed some technical aspects of graphics calculators as they used them to study graphs of straight lines and parabolas. Identifies three common student difficulties: (1) tendency to be unduly influenced by the jagged appearance of graphs; (2) poor understanding of the zoom operation; and (3) limited grasp of the processes used by a calculator to display graphs. (Contains 24 references.) (Author/ASK)
