Hall, Lucien T., Jr. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Changes in the elementary school mathematics curriculum and instruction due to technological advances with calculators and computers are hypothesized. It is suggested that the secondary school curriculum will catch up in another decade. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Change, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Instruction

Ball, Stanley – School Science and Mathematics, 1985
The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)

Fletcher, T. J. – 1983
This paper is addressed to those who are concerned with the development of the school curriculum as a whole and to those who have a particular interest in mathematics. The aim is to promote discussion between these two overlapping groups, so that the growing use of computers in mathematics can be coordinated with developments in other areas of the…

Schroeder, Thomas L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Work with microcomputers should be included in the preservice teacher education program. Broadening students' horizons by making them aware of the scope and diversity of worthwhile uses of computers, questions to help them become discriminating, and modeling positive attitudes are each discussed. (MNS)

Streibel, Michael J. – School Science and Mathematics, 1983
The kind of learning experience provided by the LOGO programing language, its efficiency as a learning tool within the school curriculum, and the role of the teacher in the LOGO environment are each discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Theories

Johnson, Martin L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
Issues related to decisions on who will use microcomputers in schools must be explored. The need to consider equity concerns is discussed. (MNS)

Moursund, David – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Discusses the role of computers in mathematics education, including their use (computer science) as a subject area and as a means of delivering instruction. Indicates that the computer challenge is here but the mathematics education system has yet to rise to the challenge. (JN)

Smith, David A. – Pipeline, 1982
Describes experiences at Duke University in teaching mathematics using computer graphics. Includes comments on the software library, slide shows, assessment of activities, teaching of calculus and differential equations, and various graphics devices for instructional purposes. (JN)

Piele, Donald T. – 1982
Arguments for and against the use of computers in mathematics classes have centered on whether students benefit from or are merely hindered by practicing computational skills. This paper claims that the true essence of mathematics lies not in computation, basically a mechanical operation, but in problem-solving. Since no amount of computational…

Rudnytsky, Joanne B. – 1982
It is more important for children to learn concepts in mathematics than to be able to perform automatic computational functions. By permitting manipulation of the relationships among visible objects, computer graphics can make it easier for students to grasp concepts and can serve as an essential ingredient in effective computer-assisted…

Lee, Okhwa; Lehrer, Richard – 1987
Seven graduate students in a seminar on classroom computing received instruction in LOGO programming. Programming protocols were collected periodically and examined for errors and misconceptions; in-depth interviews were conducted in order to understand specific misconceptions better. As novice students transit from instruction to experience in…

Wardle, Michael – Mathematics in School, 1983
The case for some elementary programing as part of mathematics instruction is presented. Ways in which microcomputers can be used in the mathematics classroom are described, with specific illustrations. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Educational Change, Mathematics Curriculum

Swafford, Jane – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
The author discusses changes in the mathematics curriculum enabled by the use of calculators and computers. The need to eliminate long division and change how we teach other mathematical concepts is stressed. (MNS)

White, James E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
Differences in computer languages are noted. Symbol-based languages offer some distinct advantages over number-based languages, both in the form and the content of the student's interaction with the computer. Some of these advantages are explored and their applications to teaching mathematics described. (MNS)

Hermann, James P. – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Argues that students should have dynamic perceptual experience with the concepts central to circular functions. Includes a computer program, designed for Apple II, to provide such experience. (PK)
