USING ELECTRONIC CALCULATORS

David S. Fielker

In the summer of 1975 Laurie Buxton, Staff Inspector for Mathematics for the Inner London Education Authority, obtained some development money to purchase 200 simple electronic calculators to use in a year’s experiment in schools. The machine chosen was the Citizen 120R, then the current recommendation to London schools as a four-function machine.
