Fourteen topics are discussed that need to be included in the curriculum to make it possible for students to successfully take full advantage of the calculator and its capabilities. These include: underflow, overflow, estimation, scientific notation, powers of ten, rounding, and truncation. (MP)

A list of previously published calculator articles with their publishers, date of publication, and page numbers is given. (MN)

A game for the HP-25 programable calculator is discussed. The objectives of the game are to introduce angle measurement and the rudiments of trigonometry. A program for the game is given. (MP)

A computer program is presented that generates problem sets involving sketching graphs of trigonometric functions using graphical addition. The students use calculators to sketch the graphs and a computer solution is used to check it. (MP)

Three calculation methods were compared in solving problems involving frequency distributions, manual, basic calculator, and advanced calculator. Calculators were more efficient but there was no difference in calculator type. (MP)

This first in a series on the programable calculator presents a chapter on the basic operations. The series is written for a particular calculator, Hewlett-Packard's HP-25. (MP)

Statistical problems were used to test the hypothesis that calculators facilitate problem solution by saving time and increasing accuracy. Manual, basic machine and advance machine methods were used. (MP)

Investigated were the effects on computation performance of amount of prepractice and type of calculator, when students were told to work very fast vs very accurately. (MP)

Three calculation methods--handwork, or simple or advanced calculators--and two levels of difficulty--easy or hard--were used to investigate the effects on computational performance. (MP)

Solving statistical problems using a calculator with sophisticated features was compared to solving the same problems by hand. The calculator group was more accurate and took far less time. (MP)

This is part one of a two-part report of a research project for investigating arguments and attitudes towards the use of the calculator in the classroom; gathering information concerning research studies and their implications; and looking at the curriculum, the calculator's actual classroom use, and calculator-buying costs and recommendations.…

The study reported is the first in a series of investigations designed to empirically test the hypothesis that calculators reduce quantitative working time and increase computational accuracy, and to examine the relative magnitude of benefit that accompanies utilizing calculators compared to manual work. (MN)

Suggestions are given for using the calculator in junior high classrooms. Square roots, factoring, and percentages are some topics discussed. A worksheet is included. (MP)

Algorithms for generating random numbers are discussed along with disadvantages. A program for a programable calculator is given that overcomes those disadvantages. (MP)

Instructions are given for using and programing programable calculators. Several problems and examples are given that include topics such as temperature conversion, estimation, and number operations. (MP)
