Fisher, Bill – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
Two games and one activity designed to be used with a hand-held calculator are presented. (MK)
Descriptors: Activities, Calculators, Computation, Elementary Education

Usiskin, Zalman P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
The role of common fractions in mathematics education and in applications is discussed in light of the increased importance of calculators and the metric system. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Decimal Fractions, Elementary Education

Schmalz, Rosemary – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
The use of the calculator is suggested in teaching algorithms for the four basic operations, in place of any difficult standard algorithm. (MP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Concept Formation

Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
This section of the journal contains computational activities designed to be used with a calculator. These activities enable students to practice skills of estimation, skip counting, place value, and computation. (RH)
Descriptors: Calculators, Class Activities, Computation, Elementary Education

Gawronski, Jane Connelly; Coblentz, Dwight – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
The use of the calculator is considered from a functional view and from a pedagogical view. (DT)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Curriculum, Electronic Equipment

Ockenga, Earl; Duea, Joan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
These worksheets represent gameboards designed to provide practice in estimation using a calculator. Worksheets are presented for estimation in addition, sums and differences, products, and quotients. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Teitelbaum, Eli – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
A distinction is made between basic computational skills and skills related to applied mathematics and verbal problem solving. The advantages of using calculators for teaching the latter skills are discussed. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Concept Formation, Elementary Education

Bell, Max S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
Student reactions to calculators, some pedagogical questions that may need further investigation, and some classroom management suggestions are discussed. (DT)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Electronic Equipment, Elementary School Mathematics

Sullivan, John J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
Ways in which classroom calculators enriched, supplemented, supported, and motivated the regular sixth-grade mathematics program are discussed. (DT)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Electronic Equipment, Elementary School Mathematics

Usiskin, Zalman – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Calculators have made the arithmetic curriculum obsolete in both scope and sequence. Calculators can perform each operation as easily as any other. We should be asking if there is ever a time when we should trust paper-and-pencil computation. (MNS)

O'Neil, David R.; Jensen, Rosalie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1982
Ways elementary school teachers might use calculators to help students are noted. A total of nine activities, listed under place value, computation, and estimation, are provided to assist the classroom instructor in effectively employing calculators. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Educational Technology, Elementary Education

Wiebe, James H. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1989
Describes how to teach the solving of multistep problems without recording the intermediate results. Stresses using calculators having memories and necessary functions. Provides activity worksheets. (YP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Judd, Wallace – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
A collection of seven calculator games is presented. The mathematical concepts involved, the object of the game, the number of players needed, the rules, and variations for different grade levels are listed for each of the games. (DT)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Educational Games, Electronic Equipment

Schnur, James O.; Lang, Jerry W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
A study of the effect of the use of calculators on student computational ability is reported. Results showed that treatment groups using calculators gained significantly more whole number computational ability than control groups not using calculators. Interaction between sex of student and calculator usage was not significant. (DT)

Shumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
Arguments for and against the use of hand calculators in school mathematics are presented. (DT)
