Direct linkGuerrero, Shannon; Walker, Norman; Dugdale, Sharon – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2004
Use of technology in middle grade mathematics is controversial. Major policy documents have teachers torn between enthusiasm for technology-facilitated mathematical investigation and cautions about undermining students' computational skills. This article examines research concerning use of computers and calculators in mathematics at the middle…
