Peer reviewedAmes, D. M.; Leathard, D. A. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The computer programs require the students to show that they understand the calculations by processing one set of data correctly themselves before the remaining sets are computed for them. (MP)

Peer reviewedGaskill, H. S.; Lopez, Robert J. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The new, and prevalent, raised-dash notation (for subtraction) appearing in school mathematics texts is examined, especially for its effects on students' computational skills. Reasons for a return to the standard notation of the centered dash are presented. (Author/MN)
