Abstract

The goal of this research is to identify the roles of the Desmos Graphing Calculator in Analytic Geometry and Calculus. The researchers investigated the roles of the Desmos graphing calculator through its features, in the students’ perspective and performance, and utilization as a teaching and learning tool. The mastery of the skill is needed on the proceeding topics in Analytic Geometry and Calculus such as point-slope form, slope-intercept form, two-point form, derivatives, and tangent line. This study used a quasi-experimental research design to know the cause-and-effect of the role of using Demos as technology in learning Calculus and Analytic Geometry of third-year mathematics students of Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology. This study utilized paired t-test for independent samples to test whether there is a significant difference. Results showed that it made enough statistical evidence to have concluded that there is significant difference in the students’ perspective before and after using Desmos Graphing Calculator in Analytic Geometry and Calculus. It also showed that there is a significant difference in the students’ performance before and after using Desmos Graphing Calculator.
