Peer reviewedFielker, David S. – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
How children perceive doubling and halving numbers is discussed, with many examples. The use of calculators is integrated. The tendency to avoid division if other ways of solving a problem can be found was noted. (MNS)

Peer reviewedSchrock, Connie; Morrow, Jean – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Discusses three methods to teach the order of operations to middle school students: (1) asking students to fill in operations in a statement to obtain a given answer; (2) using mnemonics to remember operation order; and (3) having students discover the logic system used by their calculators. (MDH)

Peer reviewedGreenwood, Jay – Mathematics Teacher, 1977
Activities are described in which number patterns in two-digit multiplication exercises are investigated. (DT)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education
Peer reviewedBaker, Delores; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1990
Uses of calculators to teach the concept of exponents are described. Topics covered on activity sheets include powers of two, number systems, and powers as repeated multiplication. Cooperative learning is emphasized. (KR)

Peer reviewedBezuk, Nadine S.; Armstrong, Barbara E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Presents five activities to help students construct meaning for multiplying fractions through real-world problem contexts, physical or pictorial models, the recognition of patterns, and the use of calculators. In the context of a garden plot, worksheets examine various aspects of parts of plots, patterns in plots, and a maximization problem.…
