Integrating Calculators in the Secondary Mathematics Classroom: Teachers' Attitudes and Perspectives
Download full textMason, Andrea – Online Submission, 2010
The purpose of this study was to analyze secondary mathematics teachers' experiences, attitudes, beliefs, and practices in teaching and learning mathematics using the calculator. The study also focused on the role of the calculator in the mathematics classroom. A high number of students lack simple math skills and many use the calculator at all…
