Peer reviewedPagni, David – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Presents 12 problems for students to investigate the relationships involving properties of numbers by using BASIC language. (YP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Mathematics, Mathematics Materials, Mathematics Tests
Peer reviewedGlidden, Peter Lochiel – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Offers examples of loss of accuracy when using digital computing devices. Discusses causes for loss of accuracy and methods of preventing loss. Presents implications that loss of accuracy has for mathematics instruction. (MDH)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Computer Assisted Instruction, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedGivan, Betty; Karr, Rosemary – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
The author presents two examples of lattice multiplication followed by a computer algorithm to perform this multiplication. The algorithm is given in psuedocode but could easily be given in Pascal. (PK)

Peer reviewedAslan, Farhad; Duck, Howard – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
P-adic or g-adic sets are sets of elements formed by linear combinations of powers of p, a prime number, or g, a counting number, where the coefficients are whole numbers less than p or g. Discusses exercises illustrating basic numerical operations for p-adic and g-adic sets. Provides BASIC computer programs to verify the solutions. (MDH)

Rossa, Dean – Computer Science Education, 1991
Presents eight points to emphasize when teaching the concept of place value. Contends that converting numbers from one base to another helps students understand the concept of place value and the importance of context in establishing meaning. Provides a BASIC computer program to make conversions. (MDH)

Stevenson, Frederick W. – 1992
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…
