Should Iteration and Recursion Be Part of the Secondary Student's Mathematics Toolbox?

Quesada, Antonio

International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, v6 n2 p103-16 1999

Presents examples to illustrate that iteration and recursion are useful pedagogical tools that can be used in many areas of mathematics, make models traditionally taught in upper levels accessible in grades 9-14, and provide alternative problem solving approaches less dependent upon ready-made formulas.
