Introduces the Sharp EL-9600 graphing calculator and its capabilities, and discusses its possible uses in mathematics classrooms. (ASK)

Argues that the calculator is fallible as a repository of mathematical knowledge. Suggests that the calculator should be considered not only a labor-saving device but a learning device. Provides examples of the use of calculators as a learning device. Contains 16 references. (ASK)

One way to assist students in developing correct intuitive ideas about the effect of sample size is to allow students to simulate similar problems. Describes experiences with classes performing simulation using graphing calculators. (ASK)

Describes the implementation of graphing calculators as teaching and learning aids in an intermediate linear algebra unit at the undergraduate level. Outlines the approach taken and discusses the problems that arose in relation to calculator use. (ASK)

Focuses on three activities using the TI-92 graphing calculator that examine the relationship between the intensity of a light source and its distance from a measurement point, properties of a sound wave, and the relationship between the time elapsed and the temperature of a cooling substance. (ASK)

Describes approaches taken with concepts associated with exponential functions by using graphing calculators to provide students with concrete meaning for the sometimes abstract concepts involved and to link students' learning with their existing knowledge. (ASK)
