Abstract
- Informal Australian discussion suggests that calculators are still widely regarded as devices for calculation, consistent with their naming, and are rarely recognised as potentially helpful to support students learning mathematics. In this paper, Barry Kissane explores some of the ways in which modern calculators might support students learning about irrational numbers, of key significance to the study of the real number system, characterising lower secondary school mathematics.
