Engaging Students with Linear Functions and GeoGebra: An Action Research Study

Abstract

Soots completed an action research study with pre-algebra students during a unit on linear functions. The goals of this study were to increase student-led technology engagement and utilize a graphing application that would allow students to make connections between multiple representations of linear functions. The use of GeoGebra combined with a student-led approach to instruction positively impacted the classroom environment, allowed students to make connections between representations of functions, and supported student discovery, especially within the topic of systems of equations.
