Maggie - I've used the following for sources of ideas for activities and
investigations (in workshops for ABE/GED teachers on using scientific
calculators to teach problem-solving for the GED 2002):
C.J. Dockweiler, Jane F. Schielack. 1992. "Calculator Activities
for the Classroom." Calculators in Mathematics Education, 1992
Yearbook. Reston, VA: National Council of Teachers of
Mathematics. [Note: the whole yearbook is full of ideas on
using calculators in the classroom.]
Janet Morris. 1981. How to Develop Problem Solving Using a
Calculator. Reston, VA: National Council of Teachers of Mathe-
matics. [Note: this was written for the 4-function calculator.]
and also the following web-sites:
CASIO CLASSROOM http://pegasus.cc.ucf.edu/~ucfcasio/casio.htm
[Note: the "approved" calculator for the GED is the
CASIO fx-260 Solar model.]
DEVENS LEARNING CENTER HOMEPAGE

A daily activity/warm-up I use with my students is "Number of the Day"
where I ask them to come up with numerical expressions for a number either
I or someone in the class chooses. Scientific calculators are available
for them to use as they wish -- to explore factors or expressions or to
check their answers.
