The purpose of this paper is to follow the reasoning of high school students when asked to explain the standard trigonometric limit limθ→0⁡sin⁡θθ=1. An observational study was conducted in four different phases in order to investigate if visualization, by means of an interactive technology environment (Geogebra), can contribute in lifting high school students’ understanding from a mere procedural understanding to a combination of conceptual and procedural understanding. The obtained results confirm that the students were able to show a… Continue Reading
