Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Programs are listed for integer powers and fractional powers, with discussion of how to use them in instruction. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Software, Higher Education, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Shumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Exponential growth provides an interesting setting for exploration. A sequence of activities and questions which will help students become better acquainted with large numbers and scientific notation, as well as computer notions, is given. (MNS)

McNerney, Charles R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
This article considers the sum of a finite geometric series as applied to numeric data storage in the memory of an electronic digital computer. The presentation is viewed as relevant to programing in several languages and removes some of the mystique associated with syntax constraints that any language imposes. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Science Education, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1980
Problems are presented that can be solved with a microcomputer which explore the binary, decimal, and hexadecimal number systems and related problems. (Author/TG)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computer Science Education, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematics Education

Straker, Anita – Mathematics in School, 1986
The first aim in school might be to help children become more aware of the algorithmic processes they use; then, ensure that they can devise algorithms and define them. Many examples of how these aims can be met are given, including the use of calculators and computers. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Computer Oriented Programs
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Brown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Programs (using Logo) developed by children to produce multiples, the Fibonacci series, and square numbers are presented, with graphical representations of functions introduced. Another investigation involves drawing a circle using turtle graphics. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Functions (Mathematics)

Petosa, Rita L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
In one school, algorithmic development has been infused in the mathematics curriculum. An example of what occurs in mathematics classes since the teachers began using the computer is given, with two students' conjectures included as well as the algebraic justification. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Cognitive Processes, Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Kulm, Gerald – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How the computer can become an integral part of mathematics learning at the junior high school level is discussed in terms of mathematics processes. The rationale for activities involving programmed processes and examples of them are given. (MNS)
