Scheidler, Alan – Creative Computing, 1981
A program that can reduce difficult integration problems to simpler approximations using the trapezoidal rule to approximate the area under a curve is presented. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculus, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedBeamer, James E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Reported are several attempts to approximate Pi by using a microcomputer to calculate the ratio of the perimeter to the diameter of regular polygons enscribed in a circle. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

Peer reviewedAddicks, Tom – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Use of Logo to teach statistical ideas is proposed for students in grades 5-10. Procedures and diagrams are suggested, with program listings for four models for graphs. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Graphs
Peer reviewedMiller, Anne, Ed.; Radziemski, Cathy, Ed. – School Science and Mathematics, 1988
Three pieces of computer software are described and reviewed: HyperCard, to build and use varied applications; Iggy's Gnees, for problem solving with shapes in grades kindergarten-two; and Algebra Shop, for practicing skills and problem solving. (MNS)

Peer reviewedWalton, Karen Doyle; Walton, J. Doyle – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
A method of using microcomputers to teach polar coordinates and graphing is described. Two computer programs plus illustrations are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Graphs
Peer reviewedMathematics Teacher, 1984
How to take photographic slides of computer software for demonstration to large groups is explained in the first portion of this column. Then follow items on a Pythagorean curiosity and a computer approach to a nonroutine problem. (MNS)

Direct linkMasalski, William J., Ed. – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2005
Technology is playing an increasingly important role in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels. This publication reports on overviews of research and findings on the impact of technology. It furnishes a context in which to observe teachers in prekindergarten through grade 12 and teacher educators using technology to help their…
