The Language of Functions and Graphs

Shell Centre for Mathematical Education

The Language of Functions and Graphs is now regarded as a classic book on the teaching and assessment of graph interpretation skills.

It focuses on developing fluency in using various mathematical representations to describe and analyse the real world, and on the teaching tactics needed to handle pupil discussion in groups and with the whole class.
