Thomas, Michael O. J.; Hong, Ye Yoon – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
Computer algebra system (CAS) calculators are becoming increasingly common in schools and universities. While they offer quite sophisticated mathematical capability to teachers and students, it is not clear at present how they may best be employed. In particular their integration into students' learning and problem-solving remains an issue. In…

Loveless, Tom; Diperna, Paul – 2000
This report discusses the direction of achievement in American schools and uncovers the policies and practices influencing the direction of student achievement to find out if the American public is getting the full story on student learning. The report consists of three parts, the first of which reports on the United States's educational…

Picard, Gilles; Pineau, Kathleen – 2001
Since the 1999 fall semester, the TI-92 Plus or the TI-89 has been a compulsory purchase for new students entering one engineering school in Montreal, Canada (almost 1000 enrolments a year). The purpose of this paper is to share impressions of a campus-wide experience and to communicate solutions adopted to help students and faculty members in the…

Leinbach, Carl – 1999
Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) can be used to help understand the behavior of cubics and other families of curves. The analysis of the parameters associated with a family of curves can give insight into the behavior of the family and can be used within the context of a mathematical model to determine a policy for the implementation of the model in…

Din, Feng S.; Whitson, James M. – 2001
This study investigated the effects of using the TI-92+ calculator to demonstrate geometric diagrams to students in class. The participants (N=83) were from three 10th grade classes. A pretest, treatment, posttest with control group design was used in the study. The treatments lasted for 12 weeks. Results from data analyses via the Dependent…

Pickard, Poppy; Alexander, Patricia – 2001
Over the last 20 years, the use of calculators and digital measuring equipment has to some extent replaced mathematical mental/written activity and also the use of analogue measuring equipment. This paper explores some aspects of number concept, reading the number line, and estimation from scales. The students being considered are mainly part of a…

Denenberg, Dennis – Principal, 1983
Use of calculators should begin in elementary grades after students have mastered basic math operations. The fear that calculators do students' thinking is well founded if they are introduced before math concepts are mastered. The gains from using calculators are numerous: they free students from drudgery and leave more instructional time. (MD)

Angier, Natalie – Discover, 1983
The Computer Museum in Marlborough, Massachusetts houses old and not-so-old calculators, famous old computers and parts of computers, photographs and assorted memorabilia, computer-generated murals, and even a computer made of Tinkertoys that plays tick-tack-toe. The development of the museum and selected exhibits is described. (Author/JN)
