Keith, Michael; Harvey, Brian – Computing Teacher, 1989
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.

Peer reviewedSwingle, David A.; Pachnowski, Lynne M. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2003
Discusses a real-world problem-solving lesson that emerged when a high school math teacher used a motion detector with a CBL and graphing calculator to obtain the bounce data of a ping-pong ball. Describes the lesson in which students collect bad data then fill in the missing parabolas that result using critical components of parabolas and…
