How set theory, combinatorics, probability, and the study of algorithms can be used in solving two problems is described in detail. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

Suggests that students create "mind maps" and wall charts to help them make and review economic connections. Recommends starting with a picture or question in the center, printing, using color, redrafting, and keeping the chart simple. Includes samples of charts produced by students. (DK)

Suitable for secondary school students, the workbook provides flowcharting activities to help students understand the logical steps used in problem solving. Before applying the flowcharting procedures to mathematical problems, students are first introduced to familiar non-mathematical problems such as sharpening a pencil or eating peanuts. Section…

Symbols and shapes used in flowcharting are defined, reasons for incorporating flowcharts into instructional activities are listed, and eight different flowcharts are presented. (DT)

Solutions to difficult equations are illustrated with numerical techniques that can be used easily on calculators. Flowcharts and programs for computers and calculators are included. (MP)

Presents four teaching activities including: creating sculptures from computer-related items; debugging approach for TRS-80; LOGO parallelograms; and flowcharting techniques. Includes an article ("BASIC Adventures") by Nancy Kuechle focusing on essential commands in creating interactive adventure programs. (JN)

Presents five teaching activities for early elementary children, including BASIC multiplication, creating picture using LOGO recursive procedure, and use of commas and semicolons with BASIC. Also discusses flowcharting techniques and cross-age tutoring. Includes "Computing without a Computer" by Evelyn Woldman, discussing use of a programmable toy…

The author recommends the use of flow charting to help students understand the manipulation of algebraic formulae. He identifies some problems with flow charts and suggests an alternative method of constructing flow diagrams. (SD)

One effective way of integrating the real world of winter into classroom learning is to plan a web or non-linear approach to unit development. In a practical example involving two grade five classes, students and their teacher investigate ideas on ways and topics to study winter. (Author/RK)

In this second article on flow charts, examples of pictorial and verbal flow charts are given, rules for constructing a flow chart are listed, and sample numerical flow charts are provided. (DT)

Flow diagrams developing cube roots and formulas for the square, sphere, cube, circle and sector, oblong, and cylinder are presented. Some comments on their use, along with calculators, are included. (MNS)

The probability of winning the contest was analyzed, with the mathematical solution and a computer simulation given. A flowchart and computer program are both included. (MNS)

Five computer-oriented classroom activities are suggested. They include: Logo programming to help students develop estimation, logic and spatial skills; creating flow charts; inputting data; making snowflakes using Logo; and developing and using a database management program. (JN)

CHOICE Tool School is an Apple computer software program designed to reinforce job and role information presented to primary-aged migrant students in the Basic Job and Role activity folders and workbooks. Learners must decide if randomly displayed tools are or are not used by the worker selected for the game theme. Learners may choose the level of…

Use of the hand-dialed, transparent, nonelectronic SEE-Calculator is proposed. Pupils can dial numbers into appropriate columns, watching the gears work; place-value concepts are enhanced. Both activities and flowcharting are suggested. (MNS)
