Peer reviewedShumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
A sequence of exploratory activities is designed to help beginners use the BASIC language and make simple pictures by graphing pairs of numbers. (MNS)

Peer reviewedHastings, Ellen H.; Yates, Daniel S. – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The material is designed to help pupils investigate how the value for slope in the equation of a line affects the inclination for the graph of an equation. A program written in BASIC designed to run on an Apple microcomputer is included. Worksheet masters for duplication are provided. (MP)

Peer reviewedWatson, Jane M. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
The use of microcomputers to aid geometry instruction is emphasized through discussion of a program written in BASIC which provides for experimenting with polynomial curves. The program listing is included. (MP)

Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
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)

Peer reviewedWagner, William J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
A program developed by a high school freshman is presented that plots unusual graphs on the screen of a TRS-80 computer. The view promoted is that teachers of advanced mathematics should not be surprised if new ways of looking at the subject come from students interacting with computers. (MP)

Dugdale, Sharon – 1981
This paper outlines the development of an activity that uses the computer's unique capabilities to provide students with a meaningful and highly motivating experience with the graphing of equations. The basic design of the game calls for the computer to display a coordinate grid on which it graphs any equations that are typed in by the student.…

Peer reviewedHirsch, Christian R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
On these worksheets, students are to graph pairs of linear equations and linear combinations of these pairs, using the results to discover an algebraic technique for solving a system of epuations. They then complete, run, and modify a computer program for solving a system of linear equations. (MNS)

Peer reviewedLappan, Glenda; Winter, M. J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
An introductory unit on slope, designed to give students a chance to discover some of the basic relationships between functions and slopes, is described. Programs written in BASIC for PET microcomputers were used. It is felt that students have the background to understand derivatives after experiences with this unit. (MP)

Peer reviewedCollis, Betty – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
A framework is presented for integrating use of a microcomputer into a statistics unit. Descriptions of some programs suitable for the Apple microcomputer and ideas for lessons are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computation, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Graphs
Carlson, Ronald – Creative Computing, 1981
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)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Programs, Drills (Practice)
Peer reviewedSawyer, W. W. – Mathematics in School, 1983
Experiences with complex numbers and graphical representations of them are discussed, with a program for a microcomputer. (MNS)
