Abstract

The purpose of this study is to explore the composite properties of linear functions using CAS calculators. The meaning and processes in which technological tools such as CAS calculators generated to instrument are reviewed. Other theoretical topic is the design of an exploring model of observing-conjecturing-reasoning and proving using CAS on experimental mathematics. Based on these background, the researchers analyzed the properties of the family of composite functions of linear functions. From analysis, instrumental capacity of CAS such as graphing, table generation and symbolic manipulation is a meaningful tool for this exploration. The result of this study identified that CAS as a mediator of mathematical activity takes part of major role of changing new ways of teaching and learning school mathematics.

본 연구는 일차항수의 합성 성질에 관한 수학적 지식의 발견을 CAS 그래핑 계산기를 도구로 활용하여 조명하였다. 이를 위하여 먼저 CAS 그래핑 계산기와 같은 공학이 도구로 생성되는 의미와 과정을 살펴보았고, 실험수학의 견지에서 CAS를 활용한 관찰, 추측, 추론과 증명 등의 개념 기반형 수학적 활동에 기초한 수학적 지식 발견의 탐구 활동을 구상하였으며, 이 활동의 실제적 적용으로 일차함수의 반복 합성에 의해 얻어진 함수족들의 성질을 분석하였다. 이를 통하여 CAS 그래핑 계산기가 가지는 도구의 기능적 능력인 그래프 그리기, 표의 생성이나 기호 조작은 지필로는 힘든 반복 합성한 함수족의 탐구를 유의미하도록 함을 알 수 있었고, CAS가 수학적 활동에 매개되어 학교수학의 새로운 교수-학습 변화에 대한 주요한 역할을 담당할 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.
