Quinlan, James; Tennenhouse, Craig – PRIMUS, 2016
Too often our students submit incomplete homework that is disorganized, unclear, and nonlinear. Typesetting with LATEX, although time consuming for those new to the software, strengthens communication by forcing organization and proper notation required by the precise, formal language of mathematics. In this manuscript we report on a study of 42…

Nord, Gail M. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2011
Calculators and computers make new modes of instruction possible; yet, at the same time they pose hardships for school districts and mathematics educators trying to incorporate technology with limited monetary resources. In the "Standards," a recommended classroom is one in which calculators, computers, courseware, and manipulative materials are…

Hollin, Freda – 1990
Computer-assisted learning in numeracy for adults is far less developed than computer-assisted learning in literacy. Although a great many software programs exist, few are suitable for adults and many offer only drill and practice exercises instead of teaching genuine computer skills. One approach instructors can take is to have their students use…

Arnold, Stephen – Australian Primary Mathematics Classroom, 2004
In the past, graphic calculators have been sophisticated and exciting tools for higher mathematics, but few would have considered using them more than occasionally with younger students. All this has now changed with the growing range of software Apps now available for Texas Instruments TI-83 Plus calculators. These Apps are more like computer…

Russell, Susan Jo; And Others – 1989
This book describes the practice of using learner-centered software in special education. Following an introductory chapter, Chapter 2 provides a discussion of software that goes beyond drill and practice and at the same time fits easily into the existing subject areas of reading/language arts and mathematics. Chapters 3 and 4 discuss using word…
