This document is intended to describe several software learning environments in an order that parallels a reasonable sequence of use by students. It also describes a planned an designed, but not yet implemented, extension of these environments from the discrete to the continuous case. Each of the implemented environments was developed in…

Presents a tiling problem designed to be solved using the microcomputer, which will give students a context upon which to build meaning for the concepts of factors, common factors, and greatest common factors. (PK)

Two alternative representations for the concept of common multiples are presented. These representations can be modeled on or off the computer. (PK)

Fourth grade elementary school children exhibiting high and low mathematics anxiety were trained on multiplication facts using the Math Builder Program, a computer program designed to bring their performance to the automaticity level. Mathematics anxiety, measured by the Mathematics Anxiety Rating Scale--Elementary version (MARS-E), was assessed…

The proceedings report is divided into four sections that include: (1) two invited lectures by Colette Laborde and James Kaput on the topics of students' reading and writing of mathematics and an allegory in which writing is introduced into a technology-based mathematical society; (2) working group reports on the topics of fractal geometry in the…
