Inman, Don – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
Discussed are programs for the TRS-80 to draw vertical and horizontal bar graphs. A short set of exercises is included. (MP)

Shore, M. L. – Creative Computing, 1980
There are many uses for the shortest path algorithm presented which are limited only by our ability to recognize when a problem may be converted into the shortest path in a graph representation. (Author/TG)

Peer reviewedDugdale, Sharon – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
The development and use of an activity that uses the computer's unique capabilities to provide students with a relevant and highly motivating experience with the graphing of equations is outlined. The activity, called "Green Globs," illustrates the potential of developing new environments for learning on computers. (MP)

Schiffer, Doug; Brooks, Sarah – Creative Computing, 1980
Presented are two computer programs which can be used to minimize the effort and time necessary to graph several individual functions. (TG)

Creative Computing, 1980
This reprint of a Project Solo curriculum module discusses graphing by computer, gives an example of a BASIC program used to graph a second degree polynomial, and provides suggested exercises in programing. (MK)

Dugdale, Sharon – Classroom Computer News, 1983
Discusses computer games (called intrinsic models) focusing on mathematics rather than on unrelated motivations (flashing lights or sounds). Games include "Green Globs," (equations/linear functions), "Darts"/"Torpedo" (fractions), "Escape" (graphing), and "Make-a-Monster" (equivalent fractions and…

Peer reviewedSimpson, E. J. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Several problems involving "pi" and "e" can be approached by diagramming, flow charting, and computer programing. (SD)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Flow Charts, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedHundhausen, Joan Rohrer – American Mathematical Monthly, 1980
A course that incorporates a computer program as a tool to take a more detailed look at differential equations is described. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Programs
Sweetland, Robert D. – Classroom Computer Learning, 1984
Discusses a computer program requiring students to find an object on a grid by using location coordinates. The program, which provides a wide range of problem-solving activities, is a highly motivating approach to hands-on metric measurement, rounding off numbers, and plotting points on Cartesian coordinate systems. Includes complete program…

This project used an "intrinsic models" approach to develop a sample of microcomputer materials on graphing linear and quadratic equations and on recognition of general functional relationships. The "intrinsic models" approach uses motivating activities which are direct expressions of the underlying mathematics. The area of…
