White-Clark, Renee; DiCarlo, Maria; Gilchriest, Nancy, Sister – High School Journal, 2008
The ultimate goal of high school mathematics teachers is to create a meaningful learning environment that is conducive to teaching students the necessary concepts for academic achievement. Unfortunately, evidence suggests that many secondary educators still teach in a rote lecture style that focuses on the teacher providing information to passive,…

Gujarathi, Mahendra R. – Journal of Education for Business, 1987
The study compared the improvement in computational skills of two similar groups of accounting students, one using calculators in examinations and the other not. Not using calculators seems to improve the arithmetical ability of students, but does not significantly improve students' feel for numbers or ability to solve word problems. (CH)

Barham, Jeffrey – Mathematics in School, 1985
Provides a rationale for using calculators to study large numbers in the elementary school. Suggests that calculators be used to encourage children to develop their interest in large numbers, to become more adventurous in their explorations of them, and to stimulate their curiosity in their occurrence.
