Two transcripts of children exploring and solving problems presented by computer programs are given. The transcripts show the insight that occured. (MNS)

This committee report presents survey results on the extent of the use of computers in British secondary schools, attitudes toward their use, and ways they are used. Future directions are discussed. (MNS)

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)

An intuitive approach to exponential functions is described. Microcomputers are used to aid discovery of derivatives. (MNS)

The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)

Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)

A programing approach is described, using numerical methods to draw implicit functions, without solving the relationships explicitly. Several examples are discussed, with programs and printouts included. (MNS)

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)

Explores the parallel axes representation (PAR) of linear functions. Illustrates the influences of slope and intercept values on the representation. Appended are five exercises for making the PAR programs using BASIC language. (YP)

Presents several examples of the iteration method using computer spreadsheets. Examples included are simple iterative sequences and the solution of equations using the Newton-Raphson formula, linear interpolation, and interval bisection. (YP)
