Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Estimation (Mathematics)
Peer reviewedMorris, Janet P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
An experience in a sixth-grade classroom is described in which microcomputer activities were integrated into regular instruction. The plan and the findings from achievement and attitude scales are discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Educational Research, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Grade 6
Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo to work through a maze is described. Suggested programs to help students learn to debug programs are also included, along with the story of the original "computer bug." (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Error Patterns
Peer reviewedShumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo as a companion language to BASIC is suggested. Variations on a computer program on squares are given, with follow-up activities suggested. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedShumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
A sequence of exploratory activities is designed to help beginners use the BASIC language and make simple pictures by graphing pairs of numbers. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Graphs
Carlisle, Earnest – 1986
A procedure is described that enables students to perform operations on fractions with a calculator, expressing the answer as a fraction. Patterns using paper-and-pencil procedures for each operation with fractions are presented. A microcomputer software program illustrates how the answer can be found using integer values of the numerators and…
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Computer Software
Peer reviewedHampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
