Peer reviewedUsiskin, Zalman; Bell, Max S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Ignored concepts of numbers, notation, and operation with rational numbers are described. It is proposed that these be taught in the time now devoted to paper-and-pencil skills made obsolete by calculators. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Cognitive Processes, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education
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 reviewedOmasta, Eugene; Lunetta, Vincent N. – Science Education, 1988
Develops an experimental teaching method emphasizing the nature of functions including graphical representation in an introductory college physics course (mechanics). Examines the effects of this method on student's problem solving and attitude toward physics. (YP)

Coburn, Terrence – 1987
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) has stated that mathematics programs should take full advantage of the power of calculators at all grade levels. This recommendation urges that students be provided access to calculators, and that calculator use be integrated into the core mathematics curriculum on a regular basis. This…

Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. Curriculum Branch. – 1990
The Mathematics 16 program provides for the development of essential concepts, skills, and attitudes required for effective computation and problem solving. The program is activity-based, and addresses the need for students to be able to transfer and apply specific mathematical concepts and skills to more generalized situations in everyday life…
