Pages : 100
Book Description
This book highlights the effect of using scientific calculators in Mathematics instruction and establish if they have any effect on students' achievement. The researcher was prompted by continuous poor performance in mathematics and yet it is a core subject in the school curriculum. There has been creation of various devices aimed at helping learners to get solutions to mathematical problems starting from counting sticks, abacus, slide rule, mathematical tables and scientific calculators in that order but no tangible evidence to show that scientific calculators will solve the problem in mathematics. Scientific calculators can be more effective than mathematical tables in improving students' achievement in mathematics and enhancing positive students' attitudes and motivation towards the subject. Scientific calculators can provide a point of departure to move away from the predominant expository teaching that gives the students very few opportunities to develop practical skills necessary for negotiating meanings, be creative and effectively participate in learning. It can also improve impoverished situation of mathematics instruction in secondary schools.

The Impact of Using Calculators as an Accommodation on the Math Achievement of Students with Learning Disabilities

Book Description
The impact of using the calculator as a standard accommodation during the instruction and assessment of students with learning disabilities has not been sufficiently investigated. The purpose of this study was to determine if the use of the calculator in grades 6, 7 and 8, as a standard accommodation during math instruction and assessment contributed to improved performance for students with learning disabilities. These students struggled with math and received special education services in this academic area before and during the use of the accommodation. The researcher also investigated whether the effect of this accommodation varied with the type of special education program awarded (inclusion, resource, self-contained). The theoretical foundation of the study was cognitive deficit theory that focused on working memory deficits. A quantitative, causal-comparative research design was conducted using archival data from a small school district to compare the performance of the students with learning disabilities on the grade level state standardized assessment before the implementation of the calculator as a standard accommodation and afterwards. The results of paired samples t tests and a two-way mixed ANOVA were statistically significant, showing that students who used the calculator performed at a higher level. The special education program did not influence the effect of using the calculator; all students with learning disabilities benefited from using this accommodation. The implications of these findings suggest that calculators allow students with learning disabilities to learn key concepts by addressing the cognitive deficit challenges of retrieving basic math facts.
