Presents background information and the listing for a LOGO computer program which investigates an ancient mathematical riddle (related to the square root of seventeen). The simulation, written for Apple II microcomputers, can be easily adapted to other microcomputers. (JN)

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)

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)

Describes the Approaching Algebra Numerically (AAN) Calculator as a computer-based simulation of a hand-held calculator designed with novice learners in mind. Includes a complete description of the calculator and suggests uses for the calculator, including exponentiation, order of operations, scientific notation, concept of variable, and problem…

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