Peer reviewedDemana, Franklin; Osborne, Alan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Argues that the type of calculator that is used in mathematics instruction is very important. Suggests that four-function calculators fail to give correct values of mathematical expressions far more often than do scientific calculators. (PK)

Peer reviewedJansson, Lars C. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
This article explains the generation of Kaprekar's constant in terms that upper elementary pupils can understand. The procedure is explained and the result proven. This is an example of a new, interesting problem for students that gives them drill in subtraction at the same time. (LS)
