Describes the derivation of the parameters incorporated into computer programs that are utilized to draw hypocycloids, which are the loci of points traced out by a point on a disk as it rolls against a circle and its interior. Includes information to obtain copies of the programs described. (JJK)

Provides specific directions and guidelines for the computer program "YOU Program ME." Explains how this introductory hands-on activity can teach the concept of programming and can introduce the BASIC language. Background information and student activity sheets are included. (ML)

Describes the method for producing the equiangular spiral, the geometric curve generated by modeling an insect's orientation process to an illumination source, utilizing a LOGO Turtle program which is included. (JJK)

The purpose of this paper is to show, by computer examples, that very different results can be obtained by rearranging selected conditionally convergent series. Computer programs allow the students to select the real number to which they wish the rearrangement to converge. Two computer programs are appended. (KR)

This handbook for teachers offers guidance on introducing computer literacy into elementary and secondary classrooms. It includes a list of computer concepts exemplified by each step in learning to write programs in BASIC Programming Language and the objectives for the elementary and secondary activities; suggestions for using computers in…

Described is a solution to the problem and a discussion of a computer estimation of the probability. A computer program written in Turbo Pascal and two sample runs are provided. Computations for a more general problem of this nature and changes in the program necessary for use with Apple Pascal are appended. (CW)

Described is a research-based instructional technique for teaching analogical reasoning by the use of guided LOGO programing activities. An example worksheet is provided illustrating the use of the Sternberg's four-step analogical reasoning technique (encode, infer, map, and apply) with LOGO programs. (Author/MDH)

This document combines a students' manual and a manual for teachers. The students' manual is a self-teaching guided discovery manual for junior high, high school, and college students that provides self-paced explorations into recursion. It includes a disk with lessons that are to be used with the written material. There are eight lessons…

The programing language PROLOG is compared to LOGO in terms of its ability to handle mathematical ideas. This is demonstrated by using PROLOG in solving a geometric theorem and two lemmas. The listings of the computer programs used to solve the problems are included. (KR)

Describes examples of student-centered activities for exploring mathematical induction using BASIC programs or spreadsheets. Discusses the advantages of using this medium to teach the concept and provides computer programs for the activities. (MDH)

Described is a mathematics resource laboratory where students use a variety of computer materials to enhance, reinforce, and broaden their concepts of first- and second-year algebra and geometry. Included are sample laboratory sheets and the answers. (KR)

Presented is an activity in which probability and percents are taught using a basketball computer simulation. Computer programs that replicate the free-throw accuracy of college and professional stars and allow students to compete with those stars are included. (KR)

Presented is a series of eight hands-on exercises using Apple II computer graphics to investigate the following characteristics of periodic functions: period, amplitude, horizontal shift, and vertical shift. Detailed teacher instructions and the accompanying computer program are included. (MDH)

This publication, one of a series of instructional manuals for industrial arts education, is designed to assist teachers as they plan and implement new courses to create environments that integrate classroom learning with students' real life experiences. The material is organized in seven instructional units. Each unit consists of objectives, key…
