Saunders, James; Bell, Frederick H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
The use of computer-enhanced resources throughout a second-year algebra course had no significant effect on algebra achievement or attitudes, but some ability differences were noted. (MP)

Goldenberg, E. Paul; Kliman, Marlene – 1988
Computer graphing makes it easier for students and teachers to create and manipulate graphs. Scale issues are nearly unavoidable in the computer context. In interviews and protocol analysis with six students from grade 8, and 12 students from grades 11 and 12, it became apparent that some aspects of scale are clearly understood very early while…

Dennis, J. Richard – 1976
Exercises for high school students are presented which entail designing computer programs to enable the computer to identify a geometrical figure as a specific type of triangle or quadrilateral, given its 2-dimensional coordinates. Computer programming skills required are not sophisticated, but a solution requires careful analysis of necessary and…
