King, Amy C.; Wilson, Joel E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1991
The purpose of this paper is to show, by computer examples, that very different results can be obtained by rearranging selected conditionally convergent series. Computer programs allow the students to select the real number to which they wish the rearrangement to converge. Two computer programs are appended. (KR)

Sutherland, Rosamund – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989
Investigated are the developments of pupils' use and understanding of algebraic ideas within a LOGO programing context and a non-computational context. The research consists of a 3-year longitudinal case study of 4 pairs of pupils aged 11-16. LOGO experience enhanced the understanding of algebraic ideas. (Author/YP)

Goldenberg, E. Paul; Kliman, Marlene – 1988
Computer graphing makes it easier for students and teachers to create and manipulate graphs. Scale issues are nearly unavoidable in the computer context. In interviews and protocol analysis with six students from grade 8, and 12 students from grades 11 and 12, it became apparent that some aspects of scale are clearly understood very early while…

Clements, Douglas H.; Battista, Michael T. – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1990
Presented is a study which focused on using turtle graphics programing for geometric problem solving. The goal was to investigate changes in children's mathematical knowledge and results indicate that the LOGO environment enriched children's geometric conceptualizations and sophistication of their geometric thinking.

Goldenberg, E. Paul; And Others – 1988
This report summarizes the work of a two-year project which focused primarily on the problems that students have with algebra in general, and graphs in particular. The first of two major sections in the document deals with the use of computer software to assist in the teaching of graphing. It concludes that thoughtful design and use of graphing…

Baek, Young K.; Layne, Benjamin H. – Journal of Computer-Based Instruction, 1988
Describes study of high school students that was designed to determine the relative effectiveness of color, graphics, and animation in computer assisted learning (CAL) of a mathematical rule. Three CAL modes, in color and in black and white, are compared; pretests and posttests are explained; and further research needs are suggested. (13…

Ayers, Thomas; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1988
Argues that computer instantiations of abstract concepts could assist mathematics education by providing concrete experiences and by inducing the mental process of construction that Piaget called reflexive abstraction. College students with computer experiences scored higher than those taught with traditional methods on a test of functions and…

Steen, Lynn Arthur, Ed. – 1990
Forces created by the proliferation of computer hardware and software, by innovative methods of mathematical modelling and applications, by broader demographic considerations, and by schools themselves are profoundly changing the way mathematics is practiced, the way mathematics is taught, and the way mathematics is learned. In this volume, a…
