Fourteen topics are discussed that need to be included in the curriculum to make it possible for students to successfully take full advantage of the calculator and its capabilities. These include: underflow, overflow, estimation, scientific notation, powers of ten, rounding, and truncation. (MP)

Presents survey results of 24 examination boards concerning their positions on the use of electronic calculators in exams. (CP)

Impressions are recorded of several aspects of the International Congress on Mathematical Education. The program, curriculum development, calculators and computers, goals for teaching mathematics, and preservice elementary teacher education are briefly discussed. (DT)

This is part one of a two-part report of a research project for investigating arguments and attitudes towards the use of the calculator in the classroom; gathering information concerning research studies and their implications; and looking at the curriculum, the calculator's actual classroom use, and calculator-buying costs and recommendations.…

The use of the calculator is considered from a functional view and from a pedagogical view. (DT)

Advantages and disadvantages of using electronic calculators in the mathematics classroom are discussed; implications for the teaching of mathematics and for the mathematics curriculum are considered. (DT)

Instruction of three children using calculators for a ten-week period resulted in achievement gains. (MNS)

The programable calculator is suggested as a means of introducing elementary school students to certain features of computers. A one-hour presentation is described. (MP)

The use of machinery to compute numbers approaching a limit is discussed. A convergence theorem and several examples are provided. (SD)

Procedures for using a calculator to check addition and subtraction problems in bases less than 10 are described. (SD)

The authors provide a list of calculators which have a capacity for handling programs, and a list of programs for such calculators which are available at cost. They argue that the use of these materials at many levels of mathematics instruction enhances both motivation and understanding. (SD)

Several examples are given of a variety of nonstandard problems, not ordinarily found in texts or courses, now accessible to students who have programmable calculators. These include: (1) finding limits; (2) evaluating infinite series; (3) calculating finite series; (4) computing variable length products; (5) solving equations; (6) searching for…

This bibliography lists books containing classroom-ready materials that can be used in conjunction with routine mathematics lessons. A description is given of six of these books. (MP)

The place of binary arithmetic in the curriculum is discussed, then uses of binary coding for methods of automatic error correction in computers and calculators are analyzed. (DT)
