This book explores the impact of calculators on mathematics instruction in grades K-14. The authors examine underlying theoretical and research information which supports the use of calculators in the mathematics classroom. Chapters examine general issues related to calculator use. Successful calculator projects, while further discussing direction for the future utilization of calculators in mathematics. Booknews From a May 1992 conference in Houston, 11 papers reflect on how calculators do and might influence the teaching of mathematics, and make recommendations for future efforts to integrate them into the curriculum. Among the topics are inservice training for teachers, the graphing calculator in pre-algebra courses, supercalculators in undergraduate mathematics, and surveys and assessments from various systems and levels.
