PURPOSE OF THE STUDY

Graphical representation of functions is accessible and can be used in a meaningful way. The main
focus of this study is to find out the effectiveness of Geometers Sketchpad in the graphing of
algebraic functions among Form Six students . Specifically, the objectives of the study is
a) to investigate the effectiveness of using Geometers Sketchpad on the students achievement in
graph functions
b) to examine the Geometers Sketchpad usage in mathematics classroom specifically on the
students attitude towards graph functions
c) to obtain the perception of students on the use of Geometers Sketchpad in the teaching and
learning of graph functions

The objectives of this study are as the following:

1. To identify differences in the mean posttest scores between students utilizing GeoGebra and
conventional instruction.
2. To identify differences in the mean posttest scores of students utilizing GeoGebra and
conventional
instruction among high visual-spatial ability (HV) students.
3. To identify differences in the mean posttest scores of students utilizing GeoGebra and
conventional
instruction among the low visual-spatial ability (LV) students
