Effectiveness and Achievement: A Preliminary Comparison of Computer Assisted and Print Drill Performance Levels.
Campbell, Donald L.; And Others – 1985
The performance of two groups of 24 third-grade students practicing division problems was used to assess the effect of microcomputer drill programs on learning. An experimental group that used computer drill programs from the Milliken Math Sequences package was compared with a similar group that learned division using the traditional print drill…

Research into Practice: Microcomputer Use in the Elementary School.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Lappan, Glenda, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Seven research conclusions concerning computers in elementary schools are presented. A summary conclusion suggests that researchers have been unable to detect improvement in mathematical skills, although some evidence suggests that students using computers acquire attributes related to success in mathematics.

Good Students Beat the Computer System: Strategies for Self Learning from Computerized Practice in Arithmetic.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Hativa, Nira – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 1992
Examined the problem-solving strategies of above average students (n=42) in grades 2-4 on problems involving forgotten or new material while practicing arithmetic with a computer. Identified the different problem-solving strategies used, sorted them into categories, and illustrated them with examples from students' protocols. Made suggestions for…
