Using Graphing Calculators to Model Real-World Data
Holliday, Berchie W.; Duff, Lauren R.
Mathematics Teacher, v97 n5 p328-331 May 2004
The students need not compute dependent values required in making line graphs but to teach the students the usage of graphing calculator to plot, calculating and graph linear equations, which are best suited to real world data. In this initial learning process, the teacher should give minimum support to the students in arriving at a solution as only then that they learn to handle the situation on their own. Thus, it is a type of indirect teaching that the teachers should follow.
