Three pieces of computer software are described and reviewed: HyperCard, to build and use varied applications; Iggy's Gnees, for problem solving with shapes in grades kindergarten-two; and Algebra Shop, for practicing skills and problem solving. (MNS)

Provides examples of such statistical graphs as line, bar, picture and pie. Suggests uses of Logo Turtle Graphics in graph construction. Includes several program procedures for creating designs with the computer. (RT)

Algebraic and computer solutions are offered for a problem on time payment scheduling. The problem, falling within the scope of high school algebra, could focus only on the algebraic methods, but including the computer brings out the relationship between the power of algebra and the power of modern technology. (JN)

Describes the guess-and-check method and discusses the advantages of using computers to apply the methods to solve mathematics problems. Provides two examples that use BASIC programs to illustrate the method. (MDH)

Four uses of microcomputers in elementary science education are discussed. These include: (1) drill and practice; (2) simulation; (3) problem solving; and (4) programing. Indicates that mathematics instruction may be enhanced in the same ways. (JN)

Describes the Secant Method, a numerical method to approximate solutions to equations for which symbolic solution methods do not apply. Illustrates the method using the EXCEL spreadsheet program. Discusses instructional implications of utilizing this method. (MDH)

Describes an activity which uses the computer to produce an environment that encourages an inductive reasoning approach to ratio and proportion through a billiard ball simulation. Provides examples of graphs and bouncing ball data. (RT)

Problems ask students to calculate the pressure against a billboard in high winds and the velocity of water flowing from a reservoir through a cylindrical pipe. Problem solutions incorporate computer tools such as spreadsheets. (MDH)
