Mamolo, Ami; Sinclair, Margaret; Whiteley, Walter J. – Mathematics Teaching in the Middle School, 2011
Proportional reasoning pops up in math class in a variety of places, such as while making scaled drawings; finding equivalent fractions; converting units of measurement; comparing speeds, prices, and rates; and comparing lengths, areas, and volume. Students need to be exposed to a variety of representations to develop a sound understanding of this…

Egnatoff, William J. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
Fractal geometry is introduced through examples of computational exploration of coastlines, self-similar curves, random walks, and population growth. These explorations, which include the construction of algorithms and the subsequent development and application of simple computer programs, lend themselves to self-directed study and advanced…

Stover, Donald W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
Graphs equations in two variables using a BASIC screen-sweep program that generates solutions to equations by applying the intermediate value theorem. Provides suggestions for investigations that result in graphs of a butterfly, the Cheshire cat, the Trisectrix of Catalna, E. T. waving goodbye, a praying mantis, and others. (MDH)

Dotseth, Karen – 1980
A set of computer-oriented, supplemental activities is offered which can be used with a course in advanced algebra and trigonometry. The activities involve use of the BASIC programming language; it is assumed that the teacher is familiar with programming in BASIC. Students will learn some BASIC; however, the intent is not to develop proficient…
