Abstract
Since 1996 experiments with the TI-92 graphic calculator have been made in a few classes in Denmark. The main purpose is to investigate the influence of teaching Mathematics using an advanced calculator with symbolic manipulation. Is understanding improved ? What about the basic concepts in Mathematics, are they still understood ? How do students respond to a calculator like TI-92 ? Does it match with the curriculum ? In my paper I will try to answer these and other questions. Some conclusions are made about teaching Mathematics with TI-92 in upper secondary high school in Denmark.
