How Mathematics Education in Ohio Impacted the Nation: Incorporating Technology to Carry Out the Vision

Abstract

This invited article explores the historical contributions of technology to mathematics education, focusing on the pioneering work of Bert Waits and Frank Demana. From early experiments with closed-circuit television and calculators to the development of function graphing technology, their innovations have transformed the way students learn algebra. The paper highlights key milestones in their journey and reflects on personal anecdotes that showcase the profound impact of technology on teaching and learning in mathematics.
