Experiences in collecting and handling data are described. Activities dealing with measures of central tendency (including a computer program), measures of dispersion, an introduction to correlation, and use of graphs to display data are illustrated. (MNS)

Reviews two software programs: "The Graph Club" which makes learning graphs "magical and exciting"; and "WiggleWorks," an "exciting" reading curriculum on CD-ROM. (SR)

Four activities are outlined that give students the opportunity to organize and display data. Selecting topics and various ways of displaying data with a microcomputer are discussed. (MNS)

Programs (using Logo) developed by children to produce multiples, the Fibonacci series, and square numbers are presented, with graphical representations of functions introduced. Another investigation involves drawing a circle using turtle graphics. (MNS)

This study investigated the effects on student understanding of linear relationships using the linked representation software VideoPoint as compared to using semi-linked representation software. It investigated students' attitudes towards and preferences for mathematical representations--equations, tables, or graphs. An Algebra I class was divided…

LogoWriter provides the means through which students of varying backgrounds and abilities can experience different types of learning. It involves using problem solving, graphing, critical thinking, and other creative strategies. The lessons provided in this book contain ideas that allow beginners to explore various areas of Logo while using…

This study investigated effects of microcomputer placement in three resource rooms for learning disabled elementary school children to explore student and teacher behavior changes and teacher microcomputer use. Results indicate no significant impact on student and teacher behavior. Teacher use varied, with teachers assigning different priority…
