Changes in school mathematics in Britain during the period 1944 to 1984 are discussed. The Jeffery Syllabus of the 1940s, agitation for change in the 1950s, projects in the 1960s, and evaluation and the advent of the calculator in the 1970s are each included. (MNS)

This essay describes the role of graphing calculators in mathematics reform. Among the topics discussed are the history of graphing calculators in mathematics education, recent technological innovations, and professional development opportunities. The case is made for a balanced approach between calculator use and paper-and-pencil techniques.…

Methods for teaching traditional college mathematics materials in the areas of analysis, vector algebra, etc., are reviewed. Examples of interesting and novel construction problems, logical decisions, generalizations with calculators, and other topics used in an experiment at a technical college in Budapest, Hungary are presented.

The article seeks to illustrate that calculators and problem solving complement each other perfectly. (MK)

A discussion is given of calculators in the classroom. Opinions and recommendations of various groups are incorporated. (MK)

Demonstrates the capabilities of graphics calculators in assisting with a simple mathematical investigation. Subjects covered include Direct Calculation, Tables, Graphing Particular Cases, Logarithms, Parametric Solutions, and Three-Dimensional Plots and Contours. The question posed for investigation with the calculator is, for what pairs of…

The purpose of this paper was to determine the effects of calculators in mathematics classes and to assess proposed curriculum revisions related to calculators. Twenty-six calculator studies and other selected sources were reviewed and annotated. Major conclusions of the study include: (1) calculator use has produced significant gains in…

A community college mathematics course is discussed in terms of type of student, content and goals. Particular attention is given to the role of the calculator in community college remedial mathematics courses. (MK)

Some of the changes in mathematics curriculum and pedagogy suggested by the calculator are described and discussed. (MK)

The author discusses the use of calculators in calculus classes and difficulties caused by roundoff errors. References for advanced follow-up topics are given. (Author/MK)

A series of quotes from teachers regarding calculator use are given. (MK)

Explores and illustrates the range of ways in which the design of mathematics examination tasks can be influenced by graphics calculators from the perspective of the people designing the exams. Also discusses principles for awarding partial credit to student responses. (Author/PVD)

Argues that the use of the calculator should be incorporated into the elementary secondary mathematics curriculum to enhance students' capabilities to deal with the quantitative aspects of real life. Includes a list of 16 calculator-based interdisciplinary projects. (FMW)
