A unit on the division of decimals by decimals that used electronic calculators as a teaching aid is described. The learning package created, the operation of the project, and several outcomes are presented. The results strongly indicated that mathematics can be taught using a calculator. (MP)

The study looked at the initial learning of decimal concepts at grades three, four, and five. Helping children understand the concepts of decimals prior to computational use is promoted as a major goal for elementary education. The investigation is seen to have provided insights that could be applied to instruction. (Author/MP)
