Hampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Information on grants for computers, several recommended books, two Logo programs, and some quotations are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Ball, Stanley – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
The curved intersections of conics with planes are described. Two computer programs are given to enable students to simulate the "explosion" of ellipses into parabolas and then into hyperbolas. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Simulation, Geometric Concepts, Mathematics Instruction
Piele, Donald T. – Creative Computing, 1982
Four stages of problem solving are believed to occur in programing. Spirolaterals are discussed as specific examples of programing activity that have mathematical and programing interest. The BASIC programing language is used on the Apple II computer to provide examples of possible solutions to the problems posed. (MP)

Billstein, Rick; Lott, Johnny W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Wardle, Michael – Mathematics in School, 1984
Illustrates how a simple computer program on transformational geometry can be used. The three examples consider use when the program is unknown, the program listing is known, and the existing program is to be modified. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Learning Activities

Oldfield, John; Oldfield, Christine – Mathematics in School, 1985
The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Newell, G. J.; MacFarlane, J. D. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The computer simulation game "Curve-Fit" is described. Its overall objective is to fit curves to six different data sets by estimating the parameters of each curve. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Educational Games, Geometric Concepts

Brown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Battista, Michael – 1985
Having students draw and investigate geometric shapes in a Logo environment is advocated as an excellent way to have them constructively learn geometric concepts. This document illustrates the potential of Logo for getting high school students involved in mathematical explorations by presenting a sequence of seven activities. The activities…

Thompson, Patrick W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The project described in this article grew from the observation that many geometry students are unable to see anything in a diagram beyond a static presentation. A computerized microworld called "Motions" is described, with illustrations. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Geometry

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
An approach to finding the rational roots of polynomial equations based on computer graphing is given. It integrates graphing with the purely algebraic approach. Either computers or graphing calculators can be used. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Equations (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts

Aieta, Joseph F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Some examples are given of geometric exploration and problem solving in which Logo is the primary tool and turtle graphics is the mathematical environment. Students can explore and develop important patterns while building visual intuition. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Geometry

Kulm, Gerald – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
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)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Junior High School Students

Thompson, Charles S.; Van de Walle, John – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Described are: how teachers can use the computer language Logo, along with noncomputer activities, for teaching about linear and two-dimensional patterns and about combining shapes to create more complex shapes. Three computer program listings are included. (MNS)
