Teaching Concepts Foundational to Calculus Using Inquiry and Technology
| Title: | Teaching Concepts Foundational to Calculus Using Inquiry and Technology |
| Author: | Marko, Benjamin David |
| Description: | There is currently a push in the state of Ohio to enhance the teaching of concepts foundational to Calculus in grades 8-12. Evidence of this came in the spring of 2005 when the Ohio Department of Education called for grant proposals to develop programs that are focused on topics that are foundations to Calculus. Further, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has stressed the effective use of technology and inquiry in their past and current standards. This thesis contains inquiry-based lessons that explore concepts that would traditionally be taught in the Calculus classroom, but can be used in lower level courses such as Algebra. The use of the graphing calculator is essential for each one of these lessons to allow the students the opportunity to explore more mathematical concepts in a less time consuming manner. |
