Bouck, Emily C.; Joshi, Gauri S.; Johnson, Linley – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 2013
This study assessed if students with and without disabilities used calculators (fourfunction, scientific, or graphing) to solve mathematics assessment problems and whether using calculators improved their performance. Participants were sixth and seventh-grade students educated with either National Science Foundation (NSF)-funded or traditional…

Bouck, Emily C.; Kulkarni, Gauri – Learning Disability Quarterly, 2009
Little is known about how best to teach mathematics to students with learning disabilities. This study explored the performance and self-reported calculator use of 13 sixth-grade and 15 seventh-grade students with learning disabilities educated in either standards-based or traditional mathematics curricula on multiple-choice and open-ended…

Porzio, Donald T. – 1997
This research focuses on the graphics calculator in calculus and its impact on students' abilities to work with graphical, numerical, and symbolic representations. Three courses are compared, two of which are taught with less emphasis on the use of graphing calculators. The format of the course emphasizing calculator use is more traditional than…

Lovitt, Charles – 1999
This paper examines to show how an investigative approach to mathematics teaching can honor its two important dimensions--a thinking and reasoning side to go with the skill development. The paper addresses the question of why a problem solving approach has failed, makes the case for investigations as an overarching organizer, and discusses the…

Vannatta, Glen D.; Hutton, Lucreda A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
The possibility of improving problem-solving performance and increasing interest in mathematics by incorporating calculators in the mathematics curriculum was investigated. Results indicate that teachers can experiment with calculators in the classroom without fear of endangering computational skills and a thoughtful program integrating…

Szetela, W.; Super, D. – 1983
A problem-solving program supplemented by calculators in one treatment group was conducted in 63 grade 7 classes with about 1350 students. Teachers were provided with problems correlated with textbooks, and instruction for teaching problem-solving strategies. School districts provided calculators and problem-solving materials. Pretest scores…
