Peer reviewedWeller, Herman G.; Johnson, Vivian – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Describes a unit for teaching exponential change in a noncalculus physics course by having students write recursive procedures in LOGO to graphically represent linear and exponential change. Summarizes the experience of implementing the unit in a segment on radioactive decay. Modifications to the unit are suggested for teaching exponential change…

Peer reviewedLucas, John F. – Primus, 1993
This paper merges state-of-the-art calculator technology with examples drawn from the Harvard Consortium Calculus Curriculum. A brief rationale for selection of the Harvard project and the TI-85 is provided, and four different mathematical situations are examined using different capabilities of the TI-85. Two short TI-85 programs are given.…

Peer reviewedKenney, Margaret J.; Bezuszka, Stanley J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Focuses on the place of discrete mathematics in the grades 9-12 mathematics curriculum and discusses how the topic of recursion should be taught. Presents several examples of recursion involving LOGO, spreadsheets, sequences, Pascal's triangle, and the Tower of Hanoi to illustrate its teaching. (MDH)

Peer reviewedBloom, Lynette M.; And Others – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Presents several ways that the microcomputer can be used as an aid in teaching various topics in calculus, including graphing functions, solving equations, finding limits and derivatives, and solving optimization problems. Emphasizes the use of computer software that tends to maximize the potential of computer graphics in mathematics instruction.…
