Carlisle, Earnest – 1986
A procedure is described that enables students to perform operations on fractions with a calculator, expressing the answer as a fraction. Patterns using paper-and-pencil procedures for each operation with fractions are presented. A microcomputer software program illustrates how the answer can be found using integer values of the numerators and…

Sigurdson, Sol E.; Olson, Al T. – 1983
Described is a project in which microcomputers were used by seven teachers in grades 2-6 in Edmonton, Alberta. The microcomputer was placed in each classroom for one-half day every day for a full school year. Teachers were asked to use it at least 70% of the time for practice in mathematics with individual students, using the Milliken Math…

Peer reviewedCarrier, Carol; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1985
Students from six fourth-grade classes were paired and randomly assigned to computer or worksheet treatments on multiplication and division. Those using computer-based drill-and-practice programs made greater gains on some tests of basic facts, but had no higher retention of algorithms. (MNS)

Peer reviewedBayliffe, Janie; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1993
Presents five examples of how technology can be integrated into Family Math nights. Activities involve graphing, managing money, developing mental mathematics skills, developing deductive and spatial reasoning, and using tangrams to explore patterns and spatial relationships. Includes a list of software publishers. (MDH)
