International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v34 n3 p343-59 May-Jun 2003

Inquires into assessment items classified as "extended pieces of work" in applicable mathematics in Western Australia. Identifies opportunities for graphics calculator use in extended pieces implemented in schools. Concludes that availability of the technology has widened the scope of approaches used in extended pieces of work in valuable ways. Calls for "black box" use of the calculator.
