Graphing Calculators and Their Potential for Teaching and Learning Statistics

The world today is described as a world based on information (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 1989), and reports on the rapid increase of information use figures such as " doubling every four years " or " increasing exponentially. Technology is not only responsible for producing much of this information, it is a critical tool in the way information is analyzed. Processing informati...

Graphing Calculators and Mathematics Education in Developing Countries

By permitting students to experiment with “new” forms of learning and “seeing” mathematics, graphing calculators affect the learning process and, as a consequence, can put pressure on teachers and curriculum developers concerning the teaching process. In this way, when adequate conditions are given, this new technology can reinforce the change process that is taking place in the teaching and le...

Emergence of Graphing Practices in Scientific Research

Graphing has long counted as one of the quintessential process skills that scientists apply independently of particular situations. However, recent expert/expert studies showed that when asked to interpret graphs culled from undergraduate courses of their own disciplines, scientists were far from perfect in providing interpretations that a course instructor would have accepted as correct. Drawi...
