The purpose of this article is to demonstrate how exponential functions and patterns can be taught by well-structured lessons composed of classroom activities, mathematical questions, discussions, and solving problems. Sawyer (1943) used a rope-and-post system to introduce the concept of logarithms and to calculate a product by adding the…

Benacka, Jan – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2016
The article gives an account of an experiment in which sixty-eight high school students of age 16 - 19 developed spreadsheet applications that simulated fall and projectile motion in the air. The students applied the Euler method to solve the governing differential equations. The aim was to promote STEM to the students and motivate them to study…

Camp, John S. – Creative Computing, 1978
The purpose of this paper is to present problems (and solutions) from the areas of marketing, population planning, system reliability, and mathematics to show how a computer simulation can be used as a problem-solving strategy in probability. Examples using BASIC and two methods of generating random numbers are given. (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedRichbart, Lynn; Richbart, Carolyn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Discusses ways to simulate a probability problem of interest to middle school students in which students calculate the average number of packets of trading cards purchased to obtain a complete set of cards. Simulations utilize a spinner, a table of random numbers, and a computer. Includes the BASIC program utilized in the simulation. (MDH)

To examine how conceptual knowledge about fraction magnitudes changes as students' learning progresses, 5th and 7th-grade students were asked to solve fraction magnitude problems that entailed finding a fraction between two given fractions and then to evaluate solutions for similar problems that were modeled for them. When the given fractions…

Warren, Elizabeth; Cooper, Tom J. – Mathematics Education Research Journal, 2005
This article examines students' ability to use the balance model to solve for unknowns. A teaching experiment was conducted in four Year 3 classrooms. This experiment focused on exploring the application of the balance model as an analogue for representing equations and solving for unknowns. The teaching experiment promoted a shift by students…
