In comparison to hand calculation, this program application does not require table checking, which eliminates potential concern on the size of a…

Specifying file references for hypertext links is an elementary competence that nevertheless draws upon core computational thinking concepts such as tree traversal and the distinction between relative and absolute references.

The ubiquity of calculators led to many "computational abuses", when numbers substitute for substance. On the other hand, it resulted in decrease in number oriented dexterity of students. The latter led to a disdain for even simple calculations to work about unfamiliar mathematical problems. As a reaction to the former, the reputation of…

This paper focuses on using technology to support mathematics instruction. Technologies such as computers and calculators are widely used in the teaching of mathematics. The educators advocate the use of these tools to reduce tiresome computations and tasks so that class time can be more effectively used for learning mathematics. The purpose of…
