Hampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Ideas for computer use are presented. A challenge problem, sources of information, and interesting facts are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Sharp, Pamela – Classroom Computer Learning, 1984
Outlines four dual art and computer-art lessons, presenting lesson objectives, activities, and suggested instructional strategies. The lessons focus on the usefulness of shared images, how moving an object affects its shape, creating the illusion of depth on a two-dimensional surface, and the relationship of parts to the whole. (JN)
Descriptors: Art Activities, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science Education, Elementary Education

Ball, Stanley – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Hampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Streibel, Michael J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
The kind of learning experience provided by the LOGO programing language, its efficiency as a learning tool within the school curriculum, and the role of the teacher in the LOGO environment are each discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Theories
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Geometric Concepts, Geometric Constructions, Geometry
Rowe, Neil – Creative Computing, 1979
Examples are given of computer activities in analytic geometry. (MK)
Descriptors: Analytic Geometry, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Computers

Allswang, John M. – History Microcomputer Review, 1990
Suggests the use of computers for the administrative tasks of departments and individual faculty members. Outlines the advantages of integrated software computer use. Details the strengths and weaknesses of specific computer programs. Provides examples of the application of computers to particular tasks. (RW)
Descriptors: Automatic Indexing, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Peripherals, Computer Software

Billstein, Rick; Lott, Johnny W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Eagle, M. Ruth – Mathematics in School, 1986
Reasons other than utility are needed to justify the place of algebra in the mathematics curriculum for all children. The possibility of considering generalized arithmetic and computer algebra are each discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Instruction
Thomas, Charles R. – Engineering Education, 1985
Discusses programming projects in applied technology courses, examining documentation, formal reports, and implementation. Includes recommendations based on experience with a sophomore machine elements course which provided computers for problem solving exercises. (DH)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Curriculum Development, Engineering, Engineering Education

Blitman, Elaine; And Others – Educational Perspectives, 1984
The implementation of a computer education program in a Hawaiian school is described. The use of the LOGO programing language is central to the program, and teachers' comments on student behaviors and reactions are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Research, Elementary Education
Goodman, Donald; Schwab, Sandra – Creative Computing, 1980
A method is described for determining the reading level of materials using a computerized test. (MK)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Elementary Secondary Education, Measurement Techniques

Olson, Alton T. – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Discusses the use of the recursive method to permutations of n objects and a problem making c cents in change using pennies and nickels when order is important. Presents a LOGO program for the examples. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Uses in Education, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Formulas

Thomas, M. O. J. – Mathematics in School, 1987
A module built around programing the computer is described. It recognizes the need of many children to have algebra introduced in a practical way and to give some concrete meaning to it. (MNS)
