This guide for teachers in the Houston schools outlines the first semester of a two-semester course on computer mathematics. Course objectives are listed, and a scope-and-sequence chart correlates topics in the course with the textbook ("Computer Programming in the BASIC Language") and suggests time allotments. An objectives-by-topic cross-index is also included, and supplements are indexed to topics. The major portion of the guide presents plans for twelve topics aimed at teaching students how to program the computer for mathimatical exercises using the BASIC programing language. Each topic lists objectives, with textbook references, teaching suggestions, and student activities for each objective. Appended are computer programs, plus lists of bibliographic references, films, and filmstrips. (MNS)
