What is number sense, why it is important, how it is taught, and how it is measured are each discussed. Examples with concrete materials, calculators, and pattern recognition are included. (MNS)

A variety of calculator activities is described for developing problem solving skills without getting involved in tedious computations. (JT)

Suggestions are given on how to introduce calculators in the primary grades plus activities to teach number concepts and number patterns. (MNS)

Four worksheets designed to be used with calculators are presented. For levels 1-2, counting is the focus; levels 3-4, estimation; levels 5-6, use of memory keys; and for levels 7-8, patterns. (MNS)

Uses of calculators to teach the concept of exponents are described. Topics covered on activity sheets include powers of two, number systems, and powers as repeated multiplication. Cooperative learning is emphasized. (KR)
