Discusses a way to help children retain the desire to understand mathematical ideas and to carry out routine procedures. Describes a method using computers to teach linear equations and calculus. Eight references are listed. (YP)

Discusses the uses of microcomputers in British elementary mathematics education. Describes the impact of electronics, teacher use of software, student use of software, and programing activities. Lists several mathematics software sources. (YP)

Describes a process of mathematical investigation involving generalized Fibonacci sequences. Provides the derivation using expressions, BASIC programs, and numerical verification. (YP)

Explores the parallel axes representation (PAR) of linear functions. Illustrates the influences of slope and intercept values on the representation. Appended are five exercises for making the PAR programs using BASIC language. (YP)

Describes how three dimensional LOGO was used in a workshop session for secondary pupils and mathematics teachers. Provides many commands and output drawings. (YP)

Presents several examples of the iteration method using computer spreadsheets. Examples included are simple iterative sequences and the solution of equations using the Newton-Raphson formula, linear interpolation, and interval bisection. (YP)

This paper describes a computer simulation of Buffon's needle problem. The problem considers the probability that a needle will cross a line when the needle is thrown in a random way onto the parallel lines a certain distance apart. The paper provides the algorithm and computer program. (YP)

Describes a project designed to explore possible ways to exploit the use of home-owned computers. Project efforts produced a collection of 72 worksheets containing a short program that students use interactively to complete the worksheet at home. A trial period describes the method of use, response of the students, and the response of the…
