This reprinted article from the November 1976 issue of "Arithmetic Teacher" describes a series of calculator games suitable for all levels from kindergarten through calculus.

For mathematics teachers who are continually looking for ways in which to engage their students in the learning process, the capabilities offered by technology answer the call. Whether the technology comprises computer based applications or graphics calculators, often boring aspects can be bypassed so that students can work on the "good…

Several learning activities and games designed to stimulate and challenge mathematically gifted kindergarten, first-, and second-grade pupils are outlined. Many of the ideas presented can be adapted to other levels. (MP)

Describes a calculator-based lesson designed to use technology as a tool to enhance students' conceptual understanding of functions. (KHR)

This article suggests: ways to teach algebraic properties; a way to prove the Pythagorean Theorem using transformational geometry; a method of packaging and carrying AC-powered calculators; and a method for teaching standard formulas. (MK)

Mathematics games are often used in the classroom as a reward or warm-up activity before the "real" learning takes place. Many teachers have witnessed how useful games are for tuning-in students to the impending mathematics lesson. However, have teachers considered playing games as the central part of the lesson? This article explores…

Three activities which require a calculator with integer division capabilities are presented. In each activity, procedures and questions for discussion are included. Game boards, samples, and answers are included where appropriate. (CW)

Nine activities are presented in which the calculator can be used to create interest in the study of fractions. Estimation skills are emphasized. (MNS)

Offers games for the elementary school mathematics teacher that include opportunities for the consolidation and practice of fundamental skills and routines. (JJK)

The use of calculators in helping students to construct their own learning is discussed. Two games which illustrate this concept are presented. The features of a constructivist lesson which uses calculators are listed. (CW)

Four bulletins are presented, each addressing concerns that have arisen as teachers consider the use of calculators or begin to use calculators in their classrooms. Bulletin eight, prepared by Krist, begins with pragmatic suggestions and comments with regard to using calculators as an aid to student learning of secondary mathematics, and describes…

This issue of the journal contains abstracts and critical comments for ten published reports of research in mathematics education. The reports concern teaching probability and estimation of measurements through microcomputer games, mental addition, use of calculators at the intermediate level, logical reasoning hierarchies, two approaches to the…

This publication for adult basic education (ABE)/General Educational Development program (GED) instructors contains some ideas for altering attitudes about mathematics. It provides ideas for broadening ABE/GED mathematics curricula and finding more effective ways of bridging mathematics in the GED classroom with mathematics in postsecondary…
