120- Exploring Finite Differences through Multiple Representations of Functions

Thursday, April 26, 2012: 10:30 AM-12:00 PM
201 A (Convention Center)
Lead Speaker:
Anne Papakonstantinou
Co-Speaker:
Richard Parr


Explore finite differences to develop a deeper understanding of functions through hands-on activities and the use of graphing technology. Determine characteristics that make functions linear, quadratic, or exponential on the basis of finite differences. Discuss pedagogical implications for including such activities in your classroom.
