This reprint of a Project Solo curriculum module discusses graphing by computer, gives an example of a BASIC program used to graph a second degree polynomial, and provides suggested exercises in programing. (MK)

Presents the geometric, software-ergonomic, and educative standards for interactive graphics systems envisioned for planimetric constructions and calculations in secondary mathematics instruction. Describes the geometric-didactic potentials of the MS DOS-Version 1.6 of CABRI-Gomtre which is an Intelligent Tutoring System with the possibilities for…

College teachers attending an NSF-sponsored summer workshop (1974) produced a series of films showing computer displays of mathematical problems and phenomena. These instructional materials are organized into four units: (1) functions and graphs; (2) analysis; (3) probability, statistics, and simulation; and (4) mathematical models. They are keyed…

Argues that while microcomputer and graphing calculators have evolved to a stage where they should be used routinely by mathematics students at all levels, there is sometimes potential to mislead students with computer generated graphs. Examples are included. (PK)

The role of computers (especially microcomputers) in the mathematics curriculum and suggestions for using them in mathematics instruction are discussed in this yearbook. The 27 articles are presented under five headings. Part 1, Issues, includes articles on comprehensive instructional computing, possible new curricula, and a syllabus for a…
