Some techniques used in making animated computer games in order to highlight their mathematical content are presented through specific examples. (MNS)

Provides examples of nested subroutines, focusing on the Gaussian quadrature function and test program (program listings included). Nested subroutines, features of the Gaussian quadrature, and when not to use it are considered. (JN)

Provides complete listing of an Applesoft arcade-style game which teaches rapid recognition, discrimination, and sequencing of the alphabet. Four levels of play are featured for sequential reinforcement of these skills. The game also trains left-to-right scanning, promotes development of visual-motor integration skills, and develops directionality…

Presents: (1) a computer program which will change a fraction into a decimal; (2) a program in which students supply missing lines to create the output given; and (3) suggestions for adding computer awareness to classrooms, including use of used punch cards and old computer-generated printouts. (JN)

Lists a short Applesoft program which uses Hi-Res graphics to help students aged eight and up learn the points of a compass. Program features include help on incorrect responses and display of the percentages of correct responses at the end of a session. (JN)

Presents an Applesoft computer program to help students translate abstract sentences into concrete visible lines and thereby discover and confirm facts about slopes, intercepts, angles, and intersections. The program graphs and analyzes lines, given as equations of the form Y equals M times X plus B. (JN)

Presents algorithms for the simulation and motion display of the three basic kinematic devices: (1) four bar linkages; (2) the slider crank; and (3) the inverted slider crank mechanisms. The algorithms were implemented on a Commodore-VIC 20 microcomputer system with 6500 bytes of available memory. (Author/JN)

Provided are brief summaries and evaluations of selected social studies computer software for intermediate and secondary school students. (RM)

Presents an application of the binomial distribution in which the distribution is used to detect differences between the sensory properties of food products. Included is a BASIC computer program listing used to generate triangle and duo-trio test results. (JN)

Presents complete listing and documentation for an Applesoft program which stores test grades for every student, handles 10 different classes, calculates cumulative grade points and percentage grades, grades, drops lowest test grades, generates hard-copy reports, adjusts test scores for a class, and calculates test mean and standard deviation. (JN)

Presents a set of classroom activities and a computer program that have been used to help students intuitively grasp, in a minimum of instructional time, such fundamental concepts as hypothesis testing, random sampling, statistical inference and p-values. The lesson shows students how statistical thinking and microcomputers can be used in…

Describes various ways a user can control computer program activity using different menu constructions. Advantages, disadvantages and program design principles for menu design are discussed. A listing for a menu demonstration program is included. (BC)
