Included are a detailed example of a calculator demonstration, the general principles to be followed in preparing a calculator demonstration, a list of demonstration topics for a calculus course, and some suggested topics for other courses. (MK)

Four problems are presented and solutions using a calculator are illustrated. (MK)

Several examples are given to show that the calculator can be a tool to enhance mathematical understanding. Expressing rational numbers (fractions) as decimals provides the content focus. (MNS)

The importance of teaching computational estimation is discussed, with note of its increased significance because of widespread use of calculators and the need to develop number sense. The reason for its failure to be taught is traced to the multiplicity of methods, and some detailed suggestions are therefore presented. (MNS)

Describes a method of using a display calculator for communicating calculations in classroom mathematics instruction. A detailed example is included. (CMV)

This publication provides background information, ideas, and sample activities to help teachers in their efforts to aid students in developing problem solving skills. It provides an overview of the stages in the problem solving model recommended in the elementary mathematics program of studies. Several clusters of problem solving strategies are…

This second booklet of a two-part publication, designed as an in-service tool for teachers of grades K-9, concerns the teaching and curriculum aspects of problem solving. It is a digest of selected topics integral to successful problem-solving instruction. The resource is organized into independent units for individual reference or group…
