Reznichenko, Nataliya – Online Submission, 2007
This paper focuses on using technology to support mathematics instruction. Technologies such as computers and calculators are widely used in the teaching of mathematics. The educators advocate the use of these tools to reduce tiresome computations and tasks so that class time can be more effectively used for learning mathematics. The purpose of…

Williams, David E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Despite numerous recommendations, little has been done to integrate calculator use into elementary school classrooms. Cost, equal access, and the existence of computers are not obstacles to calculator use: our attitudes and beliefs are. What must be done to integrate calculators into the curriculum is outlined.

Bell, Max – Educational Researcher, 1977
Increasing availability of hand-held calculators in the student's world forces educators to take a hard look to see what course the schools should take in mathematics education. Planned research and development will be necessary in the next decade to explore a variety of options that schools may use. (Author/JP)
