Coping with Infinity: Using TI-NspireTM CAS to Bring Alive Multiple Representations in Mathematics
Abstract
This chapter outlines the structure of the initial module of a pilot project investigating the benefits of using dynamical mathematical software when teaching students about cross-curricular models of thinking. Focus is on the use of conceptual metaphors when teaching the concept of infinity in mathematics as well as in literature. The use of dynamical mathematics software facilitated constructions of multiple representations in problem solving in a series of carefully selected problems involving infinity. The pilot project is currently being evaluated, but preliminary findings indicate an increased student awareness of the usefulness of the software when learning how to use mathematical inscriptions for problem solving. The pilot project will be expanded in the Fall 2011 to include 6 classes across Denmark to test the applicability of the software, the teaching model and the teaching materials in a variety of classes to see if the initial successes of the project can be replicated.
