References on calculators are provided for elementary school teachers. These references (grouped according to background reading, ideas for students and teachers, and child-ready material) include author(s), title, source, and a brief description. (JN)

Presents activities to help teachers use the calculator. The type of logic, keystroke errors, and the constant are each discussed. (MNS)

Using the calculator to do addition and multiplication in base 2 is discussed, with the stress on how to change numbers from one base to another using the calculator. (MNS)

Presents activities involving equal sharing, weighted averages, mean, median, mode, average cubes, and iterated averages, the last of which involves the use of a spreadsheet or graphing calculator. Includes reproducible student worksheets and questions for discussion. (MKR)

Three games in which the calculator plays an important facilitating role are presented. It promotes a "guess then adjust your guess" strategy. The games are described within the context of elementary, junior high, and secondary classrooms. (MNS)

Exercises are used when beginning work with calculators to help pupils think about what they are doing. Four worksheets are included, with discussion of their objectives. (MNS)

It is suggested that the reasons for teaching the standard written algorithms for calculations are not out of date. Alternative algorithms, such as mental algorithms, calculators, and nonstandard written methods, are discussed. (MP)

Flow diagrams developing cube roots and formulas for the square, sphere, cube, circle and sector, oblong, and cylinder are presented. Some comments on their use, along with calculators, are included. (MNS)

The first aim in school might be to help children become more aware of the algorithmic processes they use; then, ensure that they can devise algorithms and define them. Many examples of how these aims can be met are given, including the use of calculators and computers. (MNS)

Ways of solving a problem on the connection between heat loss and the ratio of surface area to volume are described. Tables and graphs are included. (MNS)

Offers games for the elementary school mathematics teacher that include opportunities for the consolidation and practice of fundamental skills and routines. (JJK)
