Issues about computer use are addressed by a discussion activity designed to help students think about situations and understand various points of view. Four situations are given, each presented from the viewpoints of four persons. (MNS)

Research on the effectiveness of microcomputer software for drill and practice is briefly summarized, as well as research on other ways of using microcomputers. (MNS)

How a group of seventh-grade students was involved in helping elementary school students learn to use a microcomputer is described. Objectives were identified, a schedule set up, and problems considered. (MNS)

Because calculators and computers obviate the need to teach certain mathematical skills that machines handle more efficiently, suggests eliminating paper/pencil computation from classrooms and introducing new, relevant topics and activities. Several of these topics/activities are discussed. (JN)

Detailed examples of the kind of interdisciplinary activity involving differential equations and the computer that are highly motivating to many pupils and can be easily integrated with current materials are provided. It is felt the projects illustrated can work well within courses and are not excessively time-consuming. (MP)

A method for motivating programing techniques in a computer science class which uses alphametics, mathematical puzzles where words or phrases represent numerals or arithmetic operations, is given. (MK)

A description of a course for grades 4 to 8 using the Apple II microcomputer is given. (MK)

Describes the creation of a company purchase order complete with the names of items to be purchased, cost, quantity, discounts, sales tax, and balance due. It requires students to apply their knowledge and understanding of percentages and also gives students an opportunity to understand the mathematics they use with algebraic formulas. (AIM)

The aim of the 2018 International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) conference was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive…

Using computers to provide diagnosis and remediation in mathematics is emphasized. Some essential features of technology-supported learning environments are discussed, as well as features that facilitate their use. Illustrated is a computer environment for learning algebra. (MNS)

The relation between mathematical and computational aspects of recursion are discussed and some examples analyzed. Definition, proof, and construction are considered, as well as their counterparts in computer languages (illustrated with Logo procedures). (MNS)

An application of functions and their inverses is described--the coding and decoding of messages, or cryptographs. The helpfulness of computers is noted, with two programs listed. (MNS)

An intuitive approach to exponential functions is described. Microcomputers are used to aid discovery of derivatives. (MNS)

Described are four hour-long sessions of children working with the definition and use of a procedure for triangles in Logo programming. The conclusion is that turtle geometry is not a trivial activity. (MNS)

Presents a set of classroom activities and a computer program that have been used to help students intuitively grasp, in a minimum of instructional time, such fundamental concepts as hypothesis testing, random sampling, statistical inference and p-values. The lesson shows students how statistical thinking and microcomputers can be used in…
