A Parallel Representation of Linear Functions Using a Microcomputer-Based Environment.

Nachmias, Rafi; Arcavi, Abraham

Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, v9 n4 p79-88 Sum 1990

A nonconventional graphical way to represent functions (the Parallel Axes Representation) is discussed. A computerized environment designed to support the exploration of the representation of linear functions is described. The didactical potential of this representation is illustrated. (CW)
