Four programs are reviewed: Crossword Magic, Master Type, The Vocabulary Baseball Game, and Meet the Presidents. The major innovations highlighted by the products selected are the ways the creators turned learning into a game. It is noted that whether this approach is desirable is for the individual teacher to decide. (MP)

Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)

A teaching strategy for problem solving with computers is detailed. The approach provides a "midline" level of help that encourages exploratory activity yet provides enough guidance to increase chances of pupil success. (MP)

Good computer simulations are those which make good use of the capability of the computer and which promote student decisions based on logic, observation, and their knowledge of the real world. (MP)

This reprint of one of the original Project Solo curriculum modules provides instruction for using the computer to investigate circular functions. (MP)

A hungry worm is looking for something to eat according to very specific rules, and the path he takes is a graph. The problem is detailed in Applesoft BASIC using low resolution graphics for worms that turn 90 degrees and high resolution for worms that can turn 45 degrees. (MP)

A computer program written in BASIC designed to simulate the activities of businesses in a marketplace where several car companies compete is provided. The educational uses of this program in an eighth-grade consumer economics class are highlighted. (MP)

A series of programs on organic chemistry written for a 48K Apple computer with Applesoft BASIC and a disk drive are reviewed. Strengths and weaknesses of the package are noted. It is felt the material would be an excellent purchase for any college library or chemistry department. (MP)

The problems used in the Second Annual Computer Problem Solving Contest are presented. There are three groups of five problems, which corresponded to Elementary, Junior, and Senior contest sets. The contest questions are seen as interesting for individual study, and potentially useful to teachers of computer programing. (MP)

Some uses of a computer in a high school statistics class are presented. The increased student involvement in the lesson is seen as a result of the line demonstration of the mathematical concepts involved. A special application program written in BASIC is included. (MP)

Several computer-oriented lessons designed to explore and exploit the problem-solving capabilities of currently available, inexpensive systems are presented. The programing language BASIC is featured. (MP)

A series of lessons designed to promote problem-solving skills by encouraging students to write programs is presented. All samples of solutions are written in BASIC. (MP)

Two programs designed to analyze reading selections and post a grade level based on number of syllables and phonetic make-up are presented. The materials are written in BASIC for a PET computer. The program, designed to analyze the phonics, is thoroughly documented. (MP)

A program designed to tutor algebra students in inequalities is presented. The program is designed around the graphics of the Apple II computer, and randomly picks graphs, and shades inequalities. (MP)
