Abstract
![CDATA[The computer needs of schools are beyond the finances of some Australian state governments. Does this inability to provide resources necessarily mean that some children are deprived of the benefits that technology can produce in enhanced mathematical understanding? Can graphics calculators provide a low cost alternative? Our world is caught up in an information revolution. To many, information is synonymous with knowledge. However, while mastery of information is demonstrated by its reproduction, mastery of knowledge requires demonstrated novel applications. Is it possible to develop this mastery of knowledge within secondary mathematics classrooms? This paper and workshop will answer these questions.]]
