The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) 1978 Yearbook contains fourteen articles covering a broad spectrum of computational topics. The first article considers the role of computational skills in the world of today and tomorrow. Several articles focus attention on how to help children master the basic facts. Algorithms for…

Presented is a supplement to two previous collections of expanded abstracts of research with calculators. Eight reports are abstracted to add to the information on the effects of calculators on achievement and learning. The critical commentary prepared by each abstractor pinpoints particular strengths and weaknesses of each study. (MP)

Presented are seven Information Bulletins from the Calculator Information Center. Each addresses concerns that have arisen as teachers consider the use of calculators or begin to use calculators. Bulletin No. 1, prepared by Higgins, discusses "Types of Calculators." The second bulletin, compiled by Channell, presents some suggested…

The abstracts and critical analyses of research in this document were prepared and compiled to add to the fund of information on the effects of hand-held calculators on achievement and learning. Since many persons find it difficult to secure original copies of all research studies, the expanded abstracts should provide specific information…

Twelve research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, two with student characteristics, and one each with calculators, problem solving, secondary mathematics curriculum changes in Australia, sex differences, teaching methods, and tutoring strategies. The…

This is a supplement to a previous collection of expanded abstracts of research with calculators. Eight dissertations are abstracted, to add to the fund of information on the effects of calculators on achievement and learning. The critical commentary prepared by each abstractor pinpoints particular strengths and weaknesses of each study. (MS)

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Five studies deal with aspects of mathematics instruction, and there are four reports each on mathematics achievement and on two cognitive processes. The remaining items concern calculators, attitudes, and aptitude-treatment interaction. Research related to…

The critical commentary prepared by each abstractor pinpoints particular strengths and weaknesses of each study. (MP)

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Five of the reports deal with various student characteristics, four with teaching techniques, two with calculators, and one each with placement, open education, and teacher education. Research related to mathematics education which was reported in RIE and CIJE…

These two bulletins were developed for the Calculator Information Center. "Motivating Activities for Low (and Higher) Achievers," prepared by Don Miller, presents activities that suggest ways in which a calculator can be used to help reinforce or develop certain mathematical ideas. Included are sections with activities for numeration,…

These four bulletins are each a compilation of references on Activities, Research, and Other Topics Related to Calculator Use. They were originally published at intervals to provide teachers and other interested individuals with sources of information about calculators pertinent to education. Bulletins cover the following subject areas: (1)…

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed in this publication. Five of the reports deal with sex differences in mathematics learning and instruction, and three reports deal with assessment or prediction of mathematics achievement. Remaining reports involve the topics of calculators, logical implication,…

Twelve research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with aspects of learning theory, three with topics in mathematics instruction (fractions, problem solving, and application orientation), two with aspects of computer assisted instruction, and one each with advanced placement,…

Four bulletins are presented, each addressing concerns that have arisen as teachers consider the use of calculators or begin to use calculators in their classrooms. Bulletin eight, prepared by Krist, begins with pragmatic suggestions and comments with regard to using calculators as an aid to student learning of secondary mathematics, and describes…

This issue of the journal contains abstracts and critical comments for ten published reports of research in mathematics education. The reports concern teaching probability and estimation of measurements through microcomputer games, mental addition, use of calculators at the intermediate level, logical reasoning hierarchies, two approaches to the…
