The Calculator Controlled Robots activities are designed to engage students in hands-on inquiry-based missions. These activities address National science and technology standards, as well as specifically focusing on mathematics content and process standards. There are ten missions and three exploration extensions that provide activities for up to…

An exploration approach with calculators that promotes student investigation and development of mathematical processes and concepts is highlighted. The presentation helps to highlight the enormous potential of calculators to facilitate new and imaginative approaches to certain areas of number work, and shows how student interest is promoted.

Calculators that have the constant arithmetic feature are promoted, and examples of ways this feature can be used in lessons are presented. (MP)

This document is a collection of reports presented at a programable calculator symposium held in Seattle, Washington, in April, 1980, as part of the annual meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM). The session was designed to review whether the programable calculator has a place in the school mathematics program, in light…

Uses a discovery lesson for determining the area of an equilateral triangle given a side length as an illustration of how to introduce features of the TI-92 graphing calculator geometry package within a mathematical context. (KHR)

These documents are three separate sets of student problems and teaching guides geared towards calculators. Series A is designed for pupils from ages 10 to 13; "B" is structured for 13 through 16, and "C" for 16 through 19. The materials are designed to provide activities for investigation and exploration of number properties and patterns that are…

The Calculators and Mathematics Project, Los Angeles (CAMP-LA), funded by the National Science Foundation for developing use of technology in the classroom, developed curriculum materials focused solely on the use of calculators in three stages. The first stage studied the mathematics curricula from different states and identified topics that are…
