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.

Ball, Lynda; Stacey, Kaye – International Group for the Psychology of Mathematics Education, 2004
Students who learn mathematics with CAS calculators are likely to develop new practices for doing and recording mathematics. Students discussed in this paper were able to use CAS calculators in examinations, making their own decisions about what to document as written records for solutions to problems. A comparison of some features of written…

Benken, Babette M.; Brown, Nancy – 2002
More than two decades of research and experience supports the idea that computer and calculator technologies can have an important role to play in supporting and effecting student learning (Heid, 1988; Kaput, 1992; Kutzler, 1996; Papert, 1980; Waits and Demana, 1999). The development of Classroom Communication Systems (CCSs) is providing new…

Sparrow, Len; Swan, Paul – 2001
This book guides teachers in the appropriate use of calculators in math classrooms in grades 3-8. This resource is organized into two parts. Part One addresses the broad range of classroom teachers' questions and concerns about using calculators for teaching mathematics. Issues covered include: (1) How can calculators support helping children…

Farris, Mark – 2001
New models of graphing calculators arrive on a regular basis. Texas Instruments alone introduced 8 models in a 10 year period. At many schools it is impractical or impossible to have every student use the same model and often different brands as well as different models are used in the same classroom. This situation brings about both advantages…

Olson, Melfried – 2002
This paper explores questions about linear relationships through the use of pattern. Participants in the session generated and extended patterns and used calculators to investigate the relationships. Examples from current Texas Instruments (TI) books and U.S. textbook series, plus examples from proposed TI materials are shared. These activities…

Smith, Jeffrey P. – 1998
Graphing calculators present a challenging task for mathematics teachers in the classroom. This digest offers four distinct methods for using graphing calculators in mathematics classrooms, including: (1) tools for expediency; (2) amplifiers for conceptual understanding; (3) catalysts for critical thinking; and (4) vehicles for integration.…

Yoder, Arnita J. – 2000
The purpose of this study was to determine teachers' views of learning algebra and to investigate if any relationship exists between their views of learning algebra and the ways that they use graphing calculators in their algebra classes. The 48 algebra teachers who participated in the study were from Allen, Putnam, and Van Wert counties in…

Kutzler, Bernhard – 2000
This paper discusses TI-89 and TI-92 graphing calculators as a tool for teaching mathematics. How this technology is likely to affect the teaching of mathematics and the role of technology in general is described. Discussion begins with a comparison of two areas, mathematics and moving/transportation, from a technological aspect, and focuses on…
