Presented are ideas for teaching mathematics with a microcomputer. Ideas include using Apple II Logo to help select students for activities (Wheel of Fortune) and activities to explore how the programming operates. (RH)

Presented are several suggestions for teaching elementary school mathematics with technology. Activities use calculators and microcomputers for teaching multiples. (RH)

Included are activities and guidelines which suggest ways to use large numbers in relative terms so that they can become more meaningful for elementary mathematics students. Several spreadsheet projects illustrate the incorporation of the recommendations from the NCTM Standards dealing with number sense. (JJK)

Described are ways teachers who are familiar with Logo can employ some special procedures (or programs) that allow students to explore and use traditional geometric topics within the context of the environment of Logo. The procedures are called MATHSTUFF and allow many traditional pencil-and-paper activities for middle and junior high school…

Use of computers in problem solving is highlighted. Several software programs are discussed and specific questions and activities are suggested. (PK)

Suggests a series of ratio activities that make use of a computer to produce graphical collections of objects in a grid with variable dimensions. Extends content to the areas of proportions, statistics, probability, programming, and problem solving. (PK)

Illustrates how teachers or students can use spreadsheets. Shows the layouts, formulas, and data of two cases: budget manager and data manager. Seven references are listed. (YP)

Ways to use data base software to develop conceptual understanding are presented. Discussed are the concepts of a data base, setting up the data, and an assessment of learning with examples. Six references and four journal resources are listed. (YP)

Discussed is the importance of incorporating calculators and computers into the primary grades. Number concepts, counting skills, place-value, basic operations, problem-solving, and higher order thinking skills can be reinforced by using calculators and computers along with manipulatives. (KR)

Discusses how calculators and computers can assist in the teaching of the basic mathematical competencies. (YP)

Suggests one possible way to combine the technological facility of the computer with students' natural abilities for concept formation. Describes the software the "Geometric preSupposer." (PK)

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)

Seven research conclusions concerning computers in elementary schools are presented. A summary conclusion suggests that researchers have been unable to detect improvement in mathematical skills, although some evidence suggests that students using computers acquire attributes related to success in mathematics. (PK)

Describes some developmental changes in children's free creations with pattern blocks and demonstrates how to build on this natural interest to teach Logo programing. (PK)

Presents reviews of three software packages. These are "Ant Farm," a game of problem solving using guess and check or trial and error; "Learning Place Value"; and a set of three utility programs--"Mastering Math: Diagnostic System,""Mastering Math: Worksheet Generator," and "Mastering Math: Management System."
