Peer reviewedHall, Lucien T., Jr. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Changes in the elementary school mathematics curriculum and instruction due to technological advances with calculators and computers are hypothesized. It is suggested that the secondary school curriculum will catch up in another decade. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Change, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedSwafford, Jane – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
The author discusses changes in the mathematics curriculum enabled by the use of calculators and computers. The need to eliminate long division and change how we teach other mathematical concepts is stressed. (MNS)

Peer reviewedBinswanger, Richard – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Describes an activity intended to incorporate investigation into learning of mathematics. The example cited involved having fourth graders study perimeter and area of rectangles using Logo. The author suggests that what began as a simple exercise in investigating geometric concepts became an exciting exploration that touched on many topics. (PK)
