Peer reviewedLappan, Glenda, Ed. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Seven research conclusions concerning computers in elementary schools are presented. A summary conclusion suggests that researchers have been unable to detect improvement in mathematical skills, although some evidence suggests that students using computers acquire attributes related to success in mathematics.
