From a May 1992 conference in Houston, 11 papers reflect on how calculators do and might influence the teaching of mathematics, and make recommendations for future efforts to integrate them into the curriculum. Among the topics are inservice training for teachers, the graphing calculator in pre-algebra courses, supercalculators in undergraduate mathematics, and surveys and assessments from various systems and levels.

Abstract: Three treatment groups and a control group were compared on two dependent variables regarding their understanding of the concept of function. During the unit of study for the concept, Treatment Group I students used graphing calculators and participated in a conceptual change assignment. Treatment Group II students used graphing calculators only during study of the unit. Treatment Group III students participated in the conceptual change assignment only during the unit. Treatment Group IV served as a control group. Regarding students' understanding and application of the function concepts, domain and range, and their understanding of the concept of scale, the results of the covariate analysis revealed a significant treatment interaction effect. The least square means procedure indicated differences between Treatment Groups I and II, between Treatment Groups I and III, and between Treatment Groups III and IV. The group mean for students who used calculators only was significantly higher than the group mean for students who used calculators and participated in the assignment. The group mean for students who participated in the assignment only was significantly higher that the group means for a) students who used graphing calculators and participated in the assignment and b) students in the control group. Regarding students' ability to identify, construct, and define function, the results of the covariate analyses revealed a significant effect regarding the factor of conceptual change assignment. The group mean for students who participated in the assignment was significantly lower than the group mean for students who did not participate in the assignment. Exploratory analyses revealed that the students' definitions of the concept of function were dominated by the ordered pair representation of the concept. This point-wise view of functions was further emphasized through the students' images of the concept of function. Classroom observations of the treatment and control groups revealed additional information regarding the effect of the graphing calculator on classroom discourse.

Changes in technology over the past ten years have correspondingly changed the mathematics classroom. The availability and widespread acceptance of the graphing calculator has resulted in a shift in the teaching of mathematics. The purpose of this study was to explore the uses of the graphing calculator as an additional instructional tool within a traditional teaching context. This twelve-week study involved two Mathematics 12 classes. Students had access to TI-81 graphing calculators while at school and they could sign one out for overnight use. During the study, students were required to maintain a journal on their use of the graphing calculator. The researcher also maintained a detailed daily log on areas where the graphing calculator was used. At the conclusion of this study, students prepared a final essay on the incorporation of the graphing calculator into their mathematics class. Furthermore, six students participated in an audio-taped interview to clarify any comments that they had made in their journals or final essay. The topics covered were functions, polynomial functions, and an introduction to calculus. The graphing calculator was useful for finding inverses of functions and solving quadratic equations. With polynomials, understanding the remainder and factor theorems, finding integral and rational roots, and solving polynomial inequalities were made easier with a graphing calculator. In calculus, the graphing calculator was useful with limits, velocity, and curve sketching. The results of this study indicated that, to varying degrees, almost all students had positive experiences using the graphing calculator. Students appreciated the access to this technology. Throughout this study, students identified the following themes--the graphing calculator made their work easier because they were able to see what was happening; once familiar with its operation, the graphing calculator saved a lot of time; and, the graphing calculator was a good educational tool and its use was not detrimental to their learning. This study contains numerous implications for the use of graphing calculators in the teaching and learning of mathematics. Educational trends seem to favor the increased use of this technology. However, logistical difficulties and security problems must also be addressed. As graphing calculators will become a required part of all British Columbia mathematics courses, increased availability and accessibility is desirable.

Based on the popular "Workshop Approach", which has been hailed by the community for its hands on approach, these new versions of the popular Workshop Calculus allow the easy incorporation of a graphing calculator. Like the originals, these volumes cover topics in calculus while simultaneously reviewing precalculus concepts. Activities, experiments, and exercises are found throughout.
