Book 2
The three books which make up this package each contain 40 activities to help pupils develop their calculator skills. These activities encourage arithmetical and mathematical thinking through positive calculator use. Key features include a chart to record pupils' progress in knowledge, skills and attitudes; teacher's notes which suggest equipment needed, ideas for extensionwork, and provide ansers to questions on pupil pages; material suitable for a wide ability range; and the fact that it can be used to complement any mathematics scheme. This third book covers wider application of calculator skills as tools of investigation and problem-solving. There is particular emphasis on the use of the calculator in work on decimals and the associated concepts. Work on the calculator memory and some of the general functions of a calculator are also covered.
