Jenkins, Jerry A. – 1988
This paper shows that multiple sources of data reflecting educational progress may be used with relative ease to systematically, objectively, and accurately place students in selective educational programs, such as those funded under Chapter 1 of the Education Consolidation and Improvement Act, using readily available commercial microcomputer…

Utilizing the Spreadsheet and Charting Capabilities of Microsoft Works in the Mathematics Classroom.

Wood, Judith Body – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1990
Presented are ideas for the utilization of Microsoft Works in the secondary mathematics classroom. The spreadsheet and graphing capabilities of this software package are demonstrated for several topics including the concept of slope for first year algebra, and creating and interpreting graphs for a general mathematics class.

Batt, Russell H., Ed. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1989
Described are the uses of a spreadsheet program to compute the free energy change associated with a reaction; to model acid/base equilibria; and to solve equilibrium constant expressions. Stressed are the advantages derived from having the spreadsheet perform the multiple, trivial calculations. (CW)

Whitmarsh, David – Journal of Economic Education, 1995
Maintains that computer-assisted instruction built around a spreadsheet-based model can illustrate and simplify some of the more difficult concepts concerning economics and fisheries. Describes a software program that illustrates overcapitalization, asset fixity, resource rent capture, economic optimum, and sustainable yield. (MJP)
