This paper presents a case study of teacher’s practices. Classroom experiences involving the concept of derivative has been observed. The purpose is to investigate how elementary algebra intervenes in the teaching of elementary calculus in secondary school. The analysis of what happens in classroom develops on a double level: how teacher uses pointwise/global/local perspectives on functions; to what extent the algebraic and functional domains are interweaved in the work proposed by the teacher.

Abstract

This paper presents a case study of teacher’s practices. Classroom experiences involving the concept of derivative has been observed. The purpose is to investigate how elementary algebra intervenes in the teaching of elementary calculus in secondary school. The analysis of what happens in classroom develops on a double level: how teacher uses pointwise/global/local perspectives on functions; to what extent the algebraic and functional domains are interweaved in the work proposed by the teacher.
