Beyond the Evident Content Goals Part III. An Undercurrent-Enhanced Approach to Trigonometric Identities.
Dugdale, Sharon
Journal of Mathematical Behavior, v9 n3 p233-87 Dec 1990
The third in a series of 3 articles, a study of 30 students was conducted to test the effect of restructuring a unit on trigonometric identities around microcomputer activities based on the themes of educational undercurrents identified in Part II. Experimental-group students scored significantly higher relating trigonometric functions to their graphical representations. (MDH)
