Penglase, Marina; Arnold, Stephen – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1996
Reviews recent research into the effectiveness of the graphing calculator as a tool for instruction and learning within precalculus and calculus, specifically in the study of functions, graphing, and modeling. Contends that much research fails to provide clear guidance or informed debate regarding the role of graphing calculators in mathematics…

Westermann, Thomas – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 2001
Demonstrates the principal concept and the application of MAPLE in mathematical education in various examples. Discusses lengthy and abstract topics like the convergence of Fourier series to a given function, performs the visualization of the wave equation in the case of a vibrating string, and computes the oscillations of an idealized skyscraper…

Martin, Rosario; Tortosa, Leandro – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1999
Presents an algorithm to compute the critical path in a graph representing a project evaluation research task. Once the algorithm is executed, the last matrix obtained permits the visualization of some important information which leads to the determination of the weight of the critical path. (Author/MM)

Althoen, Steve – Mathematics Teacher, 2005
Some tips that combine knowledge of mathematics history and technology for adapting Ferrar's method to factor quintics with a TI-83 graphing calculator are presented. A demonstration on the use of the root finder and regression capabilities of the graphing calculator are presented, so that the tips can be easily adapted for any graphing calculator…

Promoting Graphical Thinking: Using Temperature and a Graphing Calculator to Teach Kinetics Concepts

Cortes-Figueroa, Jose E.; Moore-Russo, Deborah A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 2004
A combination of graphical thinking with chemical and physical theories in the classroom is encouraged by using the Calculator-Based Laboratory System (CBL) with a temperature sensor and graphing calculator. The theory of first-order kinetics is logically explained with the aid of the cooling or heating of the metal bead of the CBL's temperature…

Srinivasan, V. K. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2002
Procedural evaluations of limits of functions provide invariably better understanding of the limits than the approximations using a calculator. The purpose of this article is to demonstrate that better understanding can be promoted if mathematical understanding precedes the impulse to use calculators. The note clarifies the stages when the…

Latterell, Carmen M. – Rowman & Littlefield Education, 2007
Placement tests are rapidly joining the ranks of high-stakes testing and college freshmen are required to take mathematics placement exams to determine their first mathematics course upon entering college. Unfortunately, these exams tend to place students in a lower-level or remedial course. As a result, additional expenses are incurred, degree…

Lamb, John H. – Mathematics Teacher, 2007
This article outlines a linear regression activity that engages learners, uses technology, and fosters cooperation. Students generated least-squares linear regression equations using TI-83 Plus[TM] graphing calculators, Microsoft[C] Excel, and paper-and-pencil calculations using derived normal equations to predict the 2004 presidential election.…

Petrocelli, John V. – Teaching of Psychology, 2007
Undergraduate students (N = 47), enrolled in 2 separate psychology research methods classes, evaluated a power analysis lab demonstration and homework assignment. Students attended 1 of 2 lectures that included a basic introduction to power analysis and sample size analysis. One lecture included a demonstration of how to use a computer-based power…

Mittag, Kathleen Cage; Taylor, Sharon E. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2006
One problem that students have with mathematics is that they often view the topic as a series of unrelated ideas. Sometimes they are aware that they have to know one concept to move to the next, but what is done in geometry is not necessarily related to anything in algebra. This failure to recognize mathematical connections limits students'…

Weigand, Hans-Georg – International Journal for Technology in Mathematics Education, 2008
A one year project was started in the school year 2003/04 to test the use of symbolic calculators (SC)--the TIVoyage 200--in six 10th grade classes of three grammar schools in Bavaria (Germany). The project was repeated in school year 2004/05. The evaluation of the project was intended to give answers to the following questions: how basic…
