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

Described is an approach to computational matrix algebra that takes advantage of a high quality, low cost microcomputer software package. The examples and applications discussed focus on matrix multiplication. (Author/CW)

This study investigated the processes by which variation in format for presenting multiplication problems influenced children's motivation and achievement. The three multiplication drill and practice instructional methods were: (1) computer-assisted instruction (CAI) with a reward game, (2) computer-assisted instruction without a reward game, and…

Described are procedures for multiplying matrices using Logo. Examples of computer programming are included. (RH)

This book is one in a series of teacher resource books developed to: (1) rescue students from the clutches of computers that drill and control; and (2) supply teachers with computer activities compatible with a mathematics program that emphasizes investigation, problem solving, creativity, and hypothesis making and testing. This is not a book…

This document is intended to describe several software learning environments in an order that parallels a reasonable sequence of use by students. It also describes a planned an designed, but not yet implemented, extension of these environments from the discrete to the continuous case. Each of the implemented environments was developed in…

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)

Two alternative representations for the concept of common multiples are presented. These representations can be modeled on or off the computer. (PK)

Presents reviews of the four software packages "Blockers and Finders,""Decimal Squares Computer Programs: Decimal Concepts, Addition and Subtraction, Multiplication and Division, and a Data Disk,""Number Stumper," and "Object Logo, Version 1.5." The software packages include problem-solving activities and drill and practice programs. (PK)
