Sažetak
In our presentation we will show how technology enables us to improve the teaching and learning of linear functions at middle school level. Throough various classroom activities that involve technology such as dynamic geometry software, graphing calculators and Excel, students explore functions and discover basic factsabout them on their own. Students then work with real life data and on real life problems to draw graphs and form linear models that correspond to given situations as well as draw inferences based on their models.
