Abstract

This study is part of a research project seeking to characterize the mathematical work of higher education students as they engage with the concept of exponential functions within a didactic sequence facilitated by digital technology. Herein, we discuss one of the tasks proposed in the sequence and assess the expected results within the framework of the Mathematical Working Spaces (MWS) theory.
