Abstract: | This article covers a project conducted by the Freudenthal Institute from August 1991 to September 1994 entitled “The graphics calculator in mathematics education.” The theory of realistic mathematics education was taken as the point of departure for formulating the hypotheses. The developmental research design was used. Observation of the students' behavior during the experimental lessons supports the premise that the graphics calculator can stimulate the use of realistic contexts, the exploratory and dynamic approach to mathematics, a more integrated view of mathematics, and a more flexible behavior in problem solving. |
