Discussion of the use of computers in math instruction highlights two possibilities suggested in response to an earlier journal column: (1) a program written in BASIC for producing spirolaterals, and (2) the use of LOGO list processing to solve matrix problems for exploring geometric transformations. (LRW)

Described is an approach to computational matrix algebra that takes advantage of a high quality, low cost microcomputer software package. The examples and applications discussed focus on matrix multiplication. (Author/CW)

Described are procedures for multiplying matrices using Logo. Examples of computer programming are included. (RH)

Describes three teaching activities for secondary school mathematics classroom: designing a house; guessing the slope function in a calculus course; and solving the six problems of bisymmetric matrices. (YP)

This material on matrices is part of "Introduction to College Mathematics" (ICM), designed to prepare high school students who have students who have completed algebra II for the variety of mathematics they will encounter in college and beyond. The concept goals of this unit are to use matrices to model real-world phenomena, to use matrices as…

Conceptual problems hinder the development of computer-assisted art instruction. Presented is a framework to guide the organization of instruction and to facilitate the selection of computer strategies appropriate to particular art learning situations. Various types of computer-assisted instruction are presented within a continuum of teaching…

Discusses several ways in which the Logo programming language can be used to experiment with and learn about matrices. Describes procedures for developing a Logo tool to establish a matrix representation, as well as others for adding, subtracting, and transposing. (TW)
