Addicks, Tom – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Use of Logo to teach statistical ideas is proposed for students in grades 5-10. Procedures and diagrams are suggested, with program listings for four models for graphs. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Graphs

Haigh, William E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Given is an example of the solution of maximum-minimum problems by replacing differentiation techniques with microcomputers and simple BASIC programs. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Graphs, Mathematics Instruction, Measurement

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Three activities with Knuth functions are discussed and illustrated, with sample computer programs listed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculus, Computer Software, Functions (Mathematics), Graphs

Levine, Stephanie Holliman; Mansheim, Jan – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1987
One way in which a computer simulation can convince students of the validity of formulas for the density and distributive functions of the sum of two variables is described. Four computer program listings are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Simulation, Functions (Mathematics), Graphs

Mathematics Teacher, 1986
The graphing of intricate curves and the fundamental theorem of algebra lead to a third discovery with microcomputers: Lagrange polynomials. Teaching suggestions for helping students to explore continuous change, interpolation, roots, and shifting and symmetry are presented, with a computer program listing. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Equations (Mathematics), Graphs, Mathematics Instruction

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
A function-graphing program is given, plus a series of experiments that students can carry out using the program. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Functions (Mathematics), Graphs, Learning Activities

Dickinson, J. Craig – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Four activities are outlined that give students the opportunity to organize and display data. Selecting topics and various ways of displaying data with a microcomputer are discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Graphs

Sullivan, Jillian C. F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Two different numerical methods, the bisection method and simple iteration, are discussed and illustrated by approximating the real solution of an equation, with programs for the two methods included. Alternative methods are also indicated. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Equations (Mathematics), Estimation (Mathematics), Graphs
Barclay, Tim – Classroom Computer Learning, 1987
The use of the microcomputer in an interactive graphics mode offers exciting possibilities for mathematics and science education. Errors made with graphs are used to introduce ideas of what should be taught. Both understanding equations and graphing utilities are stressed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Equations (Mathematics), Error Patterns

Stover, Donald W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
Graphs equations in two variables using a BASIC screen-sweep program that generates solutions to equations by applying the intermediate value theorem. Provides suggestions for investigations that result in graphs of a butterfly, the Cheshire cat, the Trisectrix of Catalna, E. T. waving goodbye, a praying mantis, and others. (MDH)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Assisted Instruction, Graphs, High Schools

Mathews, John H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Describes how the computer algebra system Mathematica can be used to enhance the teaching of the topics of sequences and series. Examines its capabilities to find exact, approximate, and graphically generated approximate solutions to problems from these topics and to understand proofs about sequences. (MDH)
Descriptors: Calculus, Computer Assisted Instruction, Graphs, Mathematics Education

Montaner, F. Rubio – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
How the computer can aid the teacher in discussing plane curves is shown. Use of the zoom enables the teacher to illustrate aspects of graphs that would be difficult and time-consuming to show in other ways. Many illustrative graphs are included, and four programs are listed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Functions (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts, Graphs

Walton, Karen Doyle; Walton, J. Doyle – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
A method of using microcomputers to teach polar coordinates and graphing is described. Two computer programs plus illustrations are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Graphs

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Eleven experiments are presented, extending ideas for graphing functions presented in two previous articles. Computer program listings are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Functions (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts, Graphs
Ramondetta, June – Learning, 1994
Simple graphing activity helps primary students make the jump from counting concrete objects to understanding abstract symbols. As part of the activity, students vote for their favorite season, then stand up and become a graph of the data they collect. The activity requires the Graph Club Classroom Kit software program. (SM)
