This computer software program helps to make classroom worksheets, take home assignments, and school mathematics tests easy to design and manufacture. The accompanying printed teaching guide provides technical information for setting up and using the program, along with sample worksheets and instructions on how to create them using the software.…

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)

Reviews two science computer software packages (on time and seasons and on maps) and three mathematics packages (on solving equations and inequalities, an algebraic coordinate game, and statistics). In addition to descriptions of the contents of each, comments indicate weaknesses and strengths. (MNS)

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)

The use of the microcomputer in an interactive graphics mode offers exciting possibilities for mathematics and science education. Errors made with graphs are used to introduce ideas of what should be taught. Both understanding equations and graphing utilities are stressed. (MNS)

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)

Several programs deemed good for preschoolers are reviewed, including some that require the child and parent to work the keyboard simultaneously. (MP)

Car Builder is a scientific CD-ROM-based simulation program that lets students design, construct, modify, test, and compare their own cars. Students can design sedans, four-wheel-drive vehicles, vans, sport cars, and hot rods. They may select for aerodynamics, power, and racing ability, or economic and fuel efficiency. It is a program that teaches…

Problem solving that both requires and develops higher-order thinking skills is illustrated in the EQUATIONS Challenge Matches program, which consists of computer diskettes at the elementary, intermediate, and advanced levels plus a multi-level diskette. Samples of computer output are given, with the results of various types of experimentation…
