These worksheets represent gameboards designed to provide practice in estimation using a calculator. Worksheets are presented for estimation in addition, sums and differences, products, and quotients. (MP)

The method described here converts a given problem in a base other than ten to a related problem in base ten, solves the related problem in base ten, and converts the answer back to the original base. Limitations are discussed. (MP)

Shortcuts to use when performing operations with the calculator are given. Algorithms discussed include reciprocals, powers, parentheses, infinite series, and synthetic division. (MP)

The first part in the serialized version of a book on the use of calculators for problem solving is presented. It contains prefaces for teachers and students and a chapter on getting started which includes topics such as symmetries, operations, powers, and chaining. (MP)

A short set of materials is presented on loops. Three worksheets illustrate loops with paper and pencil, calculator, and computer, respectively. A computer program is given. (MP)

Presented and discussed is a program for a programable calculator that predicts the altitude achieveable by a model rocket. (MP)

Six common fears that prevent school use of calculators are discussed. Included are a number of positive uses of calculators in the primary grades that teach new concepts rather than simply reinforce those already learned. (MP)

A distinction is made between basic computational skills and skills related to applied mathematics and verbal problem solving. The advantages of using calculators for teaching the latter skills are discussed. (MP)

Benefits, hazards, and limitations in the use of calculators are offered as outlined in the literature. (MP)

An algorithm for the calculator is given for determining the day of the week for any date. An instructional sheet, a worksheet, and a BASIC program are included. (MP)

Describes how to implement numerical integration on a pocket calculator to solve two kinds of differential equations important in physics. The two equations are those defining simple harmonic and quantum harmonic motion. The half-increment method is used for this purpose. (GA)

Recommendations concerning the use of calculators in school are given along with the identification of important calculator features and functions with regard to present and expected curricular needs. (MN)

Describes the necessary procedures and equipment needed to modify the American Association of Physics Teachers' (AAPT) pocket calculator timer so that it can be controlled photoelectrically. (SL)

A straight forward process for working in fractions on any calculator is presented. The method involves converting a decimal back into a fraction in its lowest terms. (MN)
