Recent developments in computer technology have resulted in the increasing presence of computers throughout society. As a consequence, schools must prepare students to make effective use of this technology. The purpose of this document is to provide administrators and teachers in the state of New York with guidelines for developing and coordinating the use of computers in mathematics in grades K-8. The booklet consists of five sections. The section on "Planning" emphasizes the importance of establishing a broadly based planning team to facilitate the development and operation of a school district's program that integrates computers in mathematics education. The next section, "Staff Development," discusses methods of coordinating and maintaining an ongoing staff development program. A section on computer hardware provides a brief description of the types of computers used in schools, with some considerations for selection. Another section contains an overview of computer programs, including how to assess and select software that meets the needs of mathematics education. The final section, "Teaching Mathematics with Computers," describes ways to use computers as effective aids for teaching mathematics. The appendices include lists of software suppliers, computer magazines, and software directories, along with considerations for using computers with students with handicapping conditions. (TW)
