Engel, Charles W.; Payne, H. E., Jr. – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
Computer-enhanced simulation of models permits students to become subjectively involved in interaction with the computer. A method for developing a computer simulation is described, and three examples of computer simulations are given. (JN)

Yates, Daniel S. – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
The computer is in the process of becoming an important aid to the teaching of statistics and probability at the middle and secondary levels. Examples show ways in which the computer can facilitate learning of mathematical concepts through tutoring, simulation, and computation. (JN)

Krist, Betty J. – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
Examples are provided which demonstrate the use of the computer as an instructional aid for the algebra curriculum. While the basic content of an algebra course would remain intact, computer technology can enhance and expand methods of algebra instruction. (JN)

Kantowski, Mary Grace – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
The microcomputer has great potential for making high school geometry more stimulating and more easily understood by the students. The microcomputer can facilitate instruction in both the logico-deductive and spatial-visual aspects of geometry through graphics representations, simulation of motion, and its capability of interacting with the…

Charp, Sylvia – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
The computer has not yet reached its full potential in the secondary school. Besides instructional usage, present usages of the computer include computer-managed instruction, acquisition of basic skills, teaching computer literacy, evaluating occupational information, and providing data about colleges and universities.

Camp, John S.; Marchionini, Gary – Viewpoints in Teaching and Learning, 1981
Six major categories encompassing the various ways in which computers can be used to enhance mathematics education are listed and described. Examples of problem solving, drill and practice, management of instruction, and tutorial applications are followed by predictions about the future of instructional computing in mathematics education.…
