Description¶

A ten-week set of instructional activities in which Form Six students used Geometer's Sketchpad worksheets, each student with access to one computer equipped with the software, to draw algebraic, trigonometric and absolute value functions. The article states the activities "allowed the students to explore, discover and investigate the concepts of graphing of functions". The control group used only textbooks with chalk-and-talk teaching.

Design Implications¶
