Possibilities and fears

Per Broman

The graphing calculator is much more than a calculator that can draw graphs. It has developed into a well programmed mathematics computer in pocket size opening possibilities to be used as a mathematics laboratory. It is well fitted for "problem-based education" in mathematics teaching and learning. However, neither teachers nor textbooks seem to have realized its advantages for the teaching and learning of mathematics.
