The Constant Feature -- Spanning the Mathematics of Grades K - 12 and Beyond
Résumé de la communication :
The same simple but powerful idea can be used to teach important mathematics from counting through calculus. The common theme of recursion has applications to the curriculum including arithmetic, consumer mathematics, algebra, geometry, matrices, limits, numerical methods, and chaos theory. It can be approached beginning with four-function calculators on through hand-held and computer symbolic algebra systems. The presentation will expand on a recent article by the speaker in the NCTM’s "Mathematics Teacher". In addition to a rich set of examples, the session provides an illustration of cohesion across the grades.
