Abstract

Assuming that dynamic features of Dynamic Geometry Software may provide a basic representation of both variation and functional dependency, and taking Vygotskian perspective of semiotic mediation, a teaching experiment has been designed with the aim of introducing pupils to the idea of function. First data coming from the observations in Italian and French classrooms are presented. (Contains 1 footnote and 4 figures.) [For complete proceedings, see ED500858.]
