We have included in this volume what we have called “cases.” By “cases” in the context of these volumes we mean instances of the creation or use of technology in mathematics instruction that either are informed by or help inform research. These cases are not defined by a type of research—in particular, they are not “case studies.” We were motivated to use casesof the development of technological tools and technology-intensive curricula as a major focus for this volume because, in spite of the popular impression that much tool and technology-intensive curriculum develop ment has little relationship to research, we and our colleagues were aware that research often played a central role in the creation, testing, and revision of tools or technology-intensive curricula. We called on, as authors, those who worked at the nexus of research and creation of technological tools.
