Saunders, James; Bell, Frederick H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
The use of computer-enhanced resources throughout a second-year algebra course had no significant effect on algebra achievement or attitudes, but some ability differences were noted. (MP)

Laycock, Mary – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
The results of the interaction of fifth- and sixth-grade students with a computer are described. (MK)

Elgarten, Gerald H. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Discusses a structured approach to teaching computer programing in secondary schools. The approach can be used in an introductory computer programing (literacy) course or as a method to teach computer programing in traditional mathematics courses. Two sample lesson summaries (related to temperature conversions) are included. (JN)

Bloomstrand, Nancy L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
An enrichment program emphasizing activities with calculators and computers for mathematically advanced children is discussed. How the program was implemented in grades three - six and in grades one - two is described in some detail. A schedule of activities and a list of resources is also given. (MNS)

Tall, David; Thomas, Michael – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1989
Discusses the use of the computer to encourage a versatile approach to learning involving both symbolic/logical and visual/holistic types of mental activity. Provides experimental data showing the effect of an enhanced Socratic mode of teaching. (YP)

Hansen, Will – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Examples of composite functions present students with intriguing questions that they can explore using calculators and computers, geometric and algebraic methods, and approximation techniques. Student-centered activities allow students to make discoveries about functions. (MLN)

Gurney, Penelope J. – McGill Journal of Education, 1996
Describes a pilot project incorporating extensive use of computers in mathematics instruction. Test scores and homework from this group were compared with a group that did not use computers. Results were inconclusive and only revealed a shortage of appropriate instructional software. (MJP)
