Downes, Michael – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1989
Uses a LOGO program and probability to solve systems of equations. Provides a physical model and a LOGO model. Lists programs and explains the methodology used. (MVL)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Computer Uses in Education

Flores, Alfinio – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Describes two activities to introduce or extend the concept of the natural number e. Students conduct a lottery using either a table of random numbers or a computer simulation to link experimental probability results to the theoretical probability and to the number e. (MDH)

Easterday, Kenneth; Smith, Tommy – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Proposes an alternative means of approximating the value of complex integrals, the Monte Carlo procedure. Incorporating a discrete approach and probability, an approximation is obtained from the ratio of computer-generated points falling under the curve to the number of points generated in a predetermined rectangle. (MDH)

Lough, Tom; Tipps, Steve – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1988
Discusses the use of Logo tools, spinners, dice, and coins for creating and understanding probability. Gives procedures for devising a spinner board and other necessary functions for performing the activity. Presents ideas for extending the experiment. (RT)
