Reported are several attempts to approximate Pi by using a microcomputer to calculate the ratio of the perimeter to the diameter of regular polygons enscribed in a circle. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

Five guidelines for enhancing the value of a computer graphics program are described and illustrated. Using a well-structured program, correct scaling, normalized device coordinates, word coordinates, and illusions are discussed. (MNS)

Two graphics programs for students in grades six-12 are given. "Circle Through 3 Points" and "Star Polygons." Students gain familiarity with the xy-plane, the radii and centers of circles, and ellipses, while more advanced students learn about parametric equations and using random numbers to produce random shapes. (MNS)

Using Logo as a companion language to BASIC is suggested. Variations on a computer program on squares are given, with follow-up activities suggested. (MNS)

Use of Logo to teach statistical ideas is proposed for students in grades 5-10. Procedures and diagrams are suggested, with program listings for four models for graphs. (MNS)

Four methods of filling a square using programing with Logo are presented, with comments on children's solutions. Analysis of the mathematical or programing concepts underlying a few simple algorithms is the focus. (MNS)

The capacity of the "Geometer's Sketchpad" to trace the path of points by drawing the position of the point at different times provides a powerful tool to help see how velocities are related. Provides a snapshot of the process, along with the traces. (Author/ASK)

A program for drawing a line segment is developed. (MNS)

The Geometric Supposer computer software is described. It allows users to make any geometric construction that Euclid knew how to make. Some explorations with the Supposer are presented. (MNS)

Following background information on Rubik's Cube, a bibliography of print materials and computer software useful in using the cube in mathematics and science instruction is presented. (MNS)

Three pieces of computer software are described and reviewed: HyperCard, to build and use varied applications; Iggy's Gnees, for problem solving with shapes in grades kindergarten-two; and Algebra Shop, for practicing skills and problem solving. (MNS)

Presents an activity using dynamic-geometry system software to create an environment in which all students can explore and extend the locus definition of conics. (ASK)

A description is given of work with geometry students in Weston, Massachusetts. They were aided in thinking like geometers, with a curriculum based on conjecturing and problem posing, using the Geometric Supposer series of computer programs. (MNS)

How the computer can aid the teacher in discussing plane curves is shown. Use of the zoom enables the teacher to illustrate aspects of graphs that would be difficult and time-consuming to show in other ways. Many illustrative graphs are included, and four programs are listed. (MNS)

A method of using microcomputers to teach polar coordinates and graphing is described. Two computer programs plus illustrations are included. (MNS)
