Leitzel, Joan R. – 1984
Drawing from experiences at Ohio State University (OSU) with remedial college students and with 12th grade students without elementary algebra skills, this paper outlines a numerical approach to algebra instruction using handheld calculators. Introductory material discusses problems with traditional approaches to math education and outlines some…

Olson, Melfried – 2002
This paper explores questions about linear relationships through the use of pattern. Participants in the session generated and extended patterns and used calculators to investigate the relationships. Examples from current Texas Instruments (TI) books and U.S. textbook series, plus examples from proposed TI materials are shared. These activities…

Bosse, Michael J.; Nandakumar, N. R. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 2004
The advent of powerful Computer Algebra Systems (CAS) continues to dramatically affect curricula, pedagogy, and epistemology in secondary and college algebra classrooms. However, epistemological and pedagogical research regarding the role and effectiveness of CAS in the learning of algebra lags behind. This paper investigates concerns regarding…

Harskamp, Egbert; Suhre, Cor; Van Streun, Anno – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2000
Presents a study in which three classes of grade 10 students worked with graphics calculators throughout, five classes used them for approximately two months, and four classes did not use them at all. Posttest results showed that students who had worked with graphics calculators tended to attempt more problems and obtain higher test scores than…
