Peer reviewedAustralian Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Examples are given of how calculator-sized pocket computers, which can receive, store, and execute BASIC programs, can be used in mathematics classrooms. (MNS)

Snover, Stephen L.; Spikell, Mark A. – 1979
An activity for secondary schools is presented and discussed which may be explored with a programmable calculator. The activity is non-standard and could not be easily explored without the use of a programmable calculator. Related activities are also discussed. Flow charts and programs for different programmable calculators are presented. (MP)

Wavik, John – Computing Teacher, 1979
Two units of study are given here for teaching elementary school students the use of the programable calculator. Storage registers and the program memory are considered. (MP)

Peer reviewedStraker, Anita – Mathematics in School, 1986
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)

Peer reviewedBrady, Mary L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Described is a mathematics resource laboratory where students use a variety of computer materials to enhance, reinforce, and broaden their concepts of first- and second-year algebra and geometry. Included are sample laboratory sheets and the answers. (KR)

Peer reviewedNievergelt, Yves – College Mathematics Journal, 1991
Presented are exercises that demonstrate the application of standard concepts in the design of algorithms for plotting certain fractals. The exercises can be used in any course that explains the concepts of bounded or unbounded planar sets and may serve as an application in a course on complex analysis. (KR)

The use of calculators and computers in the schools is promoted. It is stated that calculators should be used in the mathematics classroom as soon as basic operations are understood. A point is made that calculators are no greater a threat to "learning the fundamentals" than slide rules, which have been available for over 350 years. It is…

Stevenson, Frederick W. – 1992
This book attempts to introduce students to the creative aspects of mathematics through exploratory problems. The introduction presents the criteria for the selection of the problems in the book. Criteria indicate that problems should: be immediately attractive, require data to be generated or gathered, appeal to students from junior high school…
