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)

The results of the interaction of fifth- and sixth-grade students with a computer are described. (MK)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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)
