Lagrange, Jean-Baptiste; Psycharis, Giorgos – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2014
The general goal of this paper is to explore the potential of computer environments for the teaching and learning of functions. To address this, different theoretical frameworks and corresponding research traditions are available. In this study, we aim to network different frameworks by following a "double analysis" method to analyse two…

Fahlgren, Maria; Brunström, Mats – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2014
The increasing availability of new technologies in schools provides new possibilities for the integration of technology in mathematics education. However, research has shown that there is a need for new kinds of task that utilize the affordances provided by new technology. Numerous studies have demonstrated that dynamic geometry environments…

Gol Tabaghi, Shiva; Sinclair, Nathalie – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2013
This article analyses students' thinking as they interacted with a dynamic geometric sketch designed to explore eigenvectors and eigenvalues. We draw on the theory of instrumental genesis and, in particular, attend to the different dragging modalities used by the students throughout their explorations. Given the kinaesthetic and dynamic…

Erfjord, Ingvald – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2011
This paper reports from a case study with teachers at two schools in Norway participating in developmental projects aiming for inquiry communities in mathematics teaching and learning. In the reported case study, the teachers participated in one of the developmental projects focusing on implementation and use of computer software in mathematics…

Biza, Irene – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2011
In this paper I report a lengthy episode from a teaching experiment in which 15-Year 12 Greek students negotiated their definitions of tangent line to a function graph. The experiment was designed for the purpose of introducing students to the notion of derivative and to the general case of tangent to a function graph. Its design was based on…

Zehavi, Nurit; Mann, Giora – Technology, Knowledge and Learning, 2011
This paper presents the development process of a "praxeology" (theory-of-practice) for supporting the teaching of proofs in a CAS environment. The characteristics of the praxeology were elaborated within the frame of a professional development course for teaching analytic geometry with CAS. The theoretical framework draws on Chevallard's…
