Jensen, Robert J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Argues that calculator activities, even in the early grades, can present situations in which basic mathematical thinking processes come into play. The activity described involves developing efficient calculator guess-and-test strategies and requires only an introductory notion of the four basic operations of arithmetic. (PK)
