Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Ideas for computer use are presented. A challenge problem, sources of information, and interesting facts are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Suggestions are provided on diskette care, software worth seeing, teaching that computers can't do everything, and a debugging activity. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
How to give students a concept of a computer's speed, information on films and software exchanges, and a BASIC program on estimation are included in this report. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Estimation (Mathematics)
Peer reviewedJenson, Robert J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Presented are ideas for teaching mathematics with a microcomputer. Ideas include using Apple II Logo to help select students for activities (Wheel of Fortune) and activities to explore how the programming operates. (RH)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo to work through a maze is described. Suggested programs to help students learn to debug programs are also included, along with the story of the original "computer bug." (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Error Patterns
Peer reviewedShumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo as a companion language to BASIC is suggested. Variations on a computer program on squares are given, with follow-up activities suggested. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts
Carlisle, Earnest – 1986
A procedure is described that enables students to perform operations on fractions with a calculator, expressing the answer as a fraction. Patterns using paper-and-pencil procedures for each operation with fractions are presented. A microcomputer software program illustrates how the answer can be found using integer values of the numerators and…
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Computer Software
Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Information on grants for computers, several recommended books, two Logo programs, and some quotations are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Programs for computing simple interest and compound interest are presented and discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedBall, Stanley – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)

Wirszup, Izaak, Ed.; Streit, Robert, Ed. – 1987
Reported in this conference proceedings are educational activities related to mathematics education from several countries. The conference was devoted primarily to two major topics closely connected with the University of Chicago School Mathematics Project (UCSMP): (1) Development of an applications-oriented mathematics curriculum for all…

Peer reviewedRyoti, Don E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
A computer program is given (in BASIC and Logo) to present problems of this form: Given the sum and difference of two integers, which is the larger? Other teaching suggestions are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Drills (Practice), Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education
Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)

Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Provides tips to help primary-aged students with computer keyboarding skills (suggesting the use of color codes and listing currently available software). Also describes (and lists) a program which helps test students' understanding of IF-THEN statements and illustrates some hazards of "spaghetti programming" (debugging). (JN)

Peer reviewedJohnson, Carole Schulte; Swoope, Karen F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Study designed to determine how children perceive males' and females' interest in computers. Inventories contained items about computers and two video games and asked how interested boys or girls would be in using items. Results indicated computers were interesting to both sexes. Both sexes, however, perceived boys' interest as higher than girls'.…
