Every classroom has calculators. Not everyone knows how to use them to their full potential. That is why Dr. Paul Swan has written the book “Calculators in the Classroom, to make the most out of calculators. A must have for all primary teachers who use calculators in the teaching of mathematics, this book contains many calculator games and activities, detailed notes on how to use a calculator, a review of the latest research on using calculators, a calculators skills checklist as well as a comprehensive section on sensible calculator use including techniques for monitoring and checking calculations. The book is mostly suitable for years 3 to 7.

Please note: since many of these activities and investigations require quite sophisticated reasoning (albeit sometimes with simple concepts), they will also be appropriate for higher grade levels than those directly indicated by the AC links.
