Microcomputer programs that help students calculate permutations and combinations are developed. Listings of five programs are included. (MNS)

A variety of activities and information about computers and programing are included. (MNS)

Examples are given of how calculator-sized pocket computers, which can receive, store, and execute BASIC programs, can be used in mathematics classrooms. (MNS)

Programs are listed for integer powers and fractional powers, with discussion of how to use them in instruction. (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)

Programs (using Logo) developed by children to produce multiples, the Fibonacci series, and square numbers are presented, with graphical representations of functions introduced. Another investigation involves drawing a circle using turtle graphics. (MNS)

In one school, algorithmic development has been infused in the mathematics curriculum. An example of what occurs in mathematics classes since the teachers began using the computer is given, with two students' conjectures included as well as the algebraic justification. (MNS)

How the computer can become an integral part of mathematics learning at the junior high school level is discussed in terms of mathematics processes. The rationale for activities involving programmed processes and examples of them are given. (MNS)

These papers from the fifth annual meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group are organized similarly to the meeting, presenting materials from the lectures, working groups, special groups, and panel groups, as well as ad hoc groups. Iverson delivered one lecture on computer programming, stressing the place of APL, while Kilpatrick…

This book attempts to introduce students to the creative aspects of mathematics through exploratory problems. The introduction presents the criteria for the selection of the problems in the book. Criteria indicate that problems should: be immediately attractive, require data to be generated or gathered, appeal to students from junior high school…
