Peer reviewedReynolds, Barbara E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1993
Discusses the history of different methods of representing numbers and how these representations facilitated counting and computing devices such as the abacus. (MDH)

Peer reviewedHennemann, A. Louise; Hennemann, Willard – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
Use of the hand-dialed, transparent, nonelectronic SEE-Calculator is proposed. Pupils can dial numbers into appropriate columns, watching the gears work; place-value concepts are enhanced. Both activities and flowcharting are suggested. (MNS)

Peer reviewedDemana, Franklin; Osborne, Alan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Argues that the type of calculator that is used in mathematics instruction is very important. Suggests that four-function calculators fail to give correct values of mathematical expressions far more often than do scientific calculators. (PK)
