Velleman, Dan – Mathematics Magazine, 1992
Through the use of graphic computer simulation, this paper analyzes the combinatorial and geometric mathematics underlying a four-dimensional variation of the Rubik's Cube. This variation is called the Rubik's Tesseract and has dimensions, 3 x 3 x 3 x 3. (JJK)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computer Simulation, Geometric Concepts

Parrella, Michael – Social Studies, 1987
Examines a classroom project in which a computer simulation is used to teach about immigration. Points out that this simulation encourages students to develop analytical and decision making skills. Concludes that simulations of this kind challenge students to learn more. (BSR)

Flusser, Peter; Hanna, Dorothy – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1991
Demonstrated is the use of BASIC computer programs to simulate a binomial experiment and test a simple statistical hypothesis. The theoretical results are reached with the third programing attempt. All results, as well as computer programs, are included. (JJK)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Simulation, Higher Education, Hypothesis Testing

Channell, Dwayne E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
This activity consists of two problem situations, each illustrating how a computer can be used as a tool to assist students in solving mathematical problems. In one, numerous calculations are performed by the computer; the second uses a Monte Carlo model to simulate a physical action. (MNS)

Stevens, Lawrence – Social Education, 1993
Describes a variety of computer software programs and student activities utilizing the computer to help teach secondary social studies. Suggests using word processors, painting programs, and computer simulations for history and government courses. Concludes that successful use of computers in social studies instruction depends on the design of…

Nemirovsky, Ricardo; Tinker, Robert – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1993
Describes software, hardware, and devices that were designed to provide students with an environment to experiment with basic ideas of mechanics, including nonlinear dynamics. Examines the behavior of a Lorenzian water wheel by comparing experimental data with theoretical results obtained from computer-based sensors. (MDH)
Descriptors: Chaos Theory, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Simulation, Computer Software

O'Reilly, Kevin – Southern Social Studies Journal, 1994
Contends that an important goal in history instruction is helping students understand the complexity of events. Describes the use of "Escalation," a commercially available computer simulation, in a high school U.S. history class. Includes excerpts from student journals kept during the activity. (CFR)
Descriptors: Computer Simulation, Computer Uses in Education, Foreign Countries, History Instruction
Hjalmarson, Margret; Diefes-Dux, Heidi A.; Bowman, Keith; Zawojewski, Judith S. – Journal of STEM Education: Innovations and Research, 2006
We have designed model-development sequences using a common context to provide authentic problem-solving experiences for first-year students. The model-development sequence takes a model-eliciting activity a step further by engaging students in the exploration and adaptation of a mathematical model (e.g., procedure, algorithm, method) for solving…
