Wheatley, Grayson H. – 1979
This paper, presented at the 1979 meeting of the American Educational Research Association (AERA) in San Francisco, discusses the effects of calculator availability on the elementary school mathematics curriculum. The rationale for a shift from a computationally based curriculum to a conceptually oriented curriculum utilizing the calculator as an…

Rising, Gerald R.; And Others – 1980
This teacher's guide is designed to aid in the incorporation of programable calculators in the school mathematics program for pupils in grade 11. Warnings include the need for care in modifying the curriculum so that students are not punished in the process. The concept of "black boxing," of letting the computer or calculator take charge…

Shumway, Richard – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1990
Discussed are supercalculator capabilities and possible teaching implications. Included are six examples that use a supercalculator for topics that include volume, graphing, algebra, polynomials, matrices, and elementary calculus. A short review of the research on supercomputers in education and the impact they could have on the curriculum is…

Boyd, Linda H.; Carson, Virginia M. – AMATYC Review, 1991
Indicates that utilizing calculators to introduce algebraic concepts in a prealgebra course provides students with a solid foundation for the study of college mathematics. Pedagogical criteria emphasized the difference between exact and approximate results, appropriate use of the calculator in problem solving, the role of estimation in…

Steen, Lynn Arthur, Ed. – 1990
Forces created by the proliferation of computer hardware and software, by innovative methods of mathematical modelling and applications, by broader demographic considerations, and by schools themselves are profoundly changing the way mathematics is practiced, the way mathematics is taught, and the way mathematics is learned. In this volume, a…
