Abstract

Insufficient classroom time to provide mastery to Algebraic content and intense requirements to meet state and national standards create challenges for many secondarySecondary (ages 14–17) mathematics educators. Additional test driven impetus to include graphing calculatorsGraphing calculators in the teaching of quadratics and polynomials, along with teacher evaluations tied to student proficiency on mandated exams provide many points for heated discussions among mathematics educators. A culmination of two studies at a large Midwestern United States secondarySecondary school combines the findings of graphing calculator use in a secondarySecondary course of AlgebraAlgebra while introducing the graphing of quadratics with high stakes testing standards and their combined impact on secondary mathematicsSecondary mathematics teachers. The author believes that using graphing calculatorsGraphing calculators as daily tools can ease the tensions in mathematics education and enrich the mathematical learning in students.
