Some techniques used in making animated computer games in order to highlight their mathematical content are presented through specific examples. (MNS)

An application of spreadsheets, not specific to any particular spreadsheet, is provided. It provides an exploration involving numbers in the form of 3x3 magic squares and 3x3 magic cubes. Strategies for their use are noted. (MNS)

A report on the use of microcomputers is summarized, with recommendations on algorithms and procedures, the value of short programs, programs designed for general distribution, mathematical utilities, and developments in hardware. (MNS)

Some background information and guidelines on computer generation of random numbers is presented. Sections concern ways of generating random numbers and descriptions of statistical tests. (MNS)

Shows that Simpson's rule can be obtained as the average of three simple rectangular approximations and can therefore be introduced to students before they meet any calculus. In addition, the accuracy of the rule (which is for exact cubes) can be exploited to introduce the topic of integration. (JN)

Introduces, describes, and discusses the computer software, Cabri-Gomtre, an interactive microcomputer notebook for the teaching and learning of geometry. (JJK)

Suggestions for how teachers can use the programs in the Micro Primer Software Packs are given. While the reader needs to be familiar with the programs to make full use of the comments, some ideas concerning the interaction between child, computer, and teacher can be garnered. (MNS)

Demonstrates how microcomputers can be used in teaching differential calculus, iteration, integral calculus, graphs, and statistics. Several ideas for putting this information into practice are outlined. Sample computer programs are included for the discussions on differential calculus, integral calculus, and iteration. (JN)

The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)

Considers definitions of quantiles. Describes median and quartiles. Compares the usefulness of 3 different definitions of quartile using a computer program to simulate 500 quantiles on a sample of a fixed size. Five references are listed. (YP)

A programing approach is described, using numerical methods to draw implicit functions, without solving the relationships explicitly. Several examples are discussed, with programs and printouts included. (MNS)

Programs (using Logo) developed by children to produce multiples, the Fibonacci series, and square numbers are presented, with graphical representations of functions introduced. Another investigation involves drawing a circle using turtle graphics. (MNS)

Described is a method of recording student completion of National Curriculum Mathematics competencies. A computer program was developed to simplify the teachers task and shorten the time required to record results, thus freeing teachers time for working with children. (MDH)

Described is the use of a commercial computer software package, "Dust," to enhance mathematical learning in the classroom. Samples of mathematics problems presented in this game which is a simulation of an adventure in outer space are presented. (CW)
