The use of a computer software package called "Exploring Measurement, Time and Money--Level 1" to help children explore many different arrangements of data and the effects of changing that data is presented. Activities which may be used to prepare students for this instruction are described. (CW)

Experiences in collecting and handling data are described. Activities dealing with measures of central tendency (including a computer program), measures of dispersion, an introduction to correlation, and use of graphs to display data are illustrated. (MNS)

Programs for computing simple interest and compound interest are presented and discussed. (MNS)

Presents five examples of how technology can be integrated into Family Math nights. Activities involve graphing, managing money, developing mental mathematics skills, developing deductive and spatial reasoning, and using tangrams to explore patterns and spatial relationships. Includes a list of software publishers. (MDH)

Four activities are outlined that give students the opportunity to organize and display data. Selecting topics and various ways of displaying data with a microcomputer are discussed. (MNS)

Presents: (1) a computer program which will change a fraction into a decimal; (2) a program in which students supply missing lines to create the output given; and (3) suggestions for adding computer awareness to classrooms, including use of used punch cards and old computer-generated printouts. (JN)

Two worksheets are given, outlining algorithms to help students determine the day of the week an event will occur and to find the date for Easter. The activity provides computational practice. A computer program for determining Easter is also included. (MNS)

The focus is on the ability to create and relinquish hypotheses in problem solving. Given are activities that illustrate how to stress the importance of producing and evaluating new ideas. A hidden rule game, microcomputer software, and an attribute game are described. (MNS)

Benefits of Instant Logo are discussed. Activity cards are illustrated and suggestions for teaching the unit and managing the class are given. (MNS)

Beginning with a simple computer program to teach a fundamental concept and building in small increments is suggested. For the topic of repeated operations, three activities, an extension, and some problems are given. (MNS)

Activities are described that reinforce knowledge of multiplication facts and also give students practice in making generalizations that improve problem-solving skills and provide a foundation for work with fractions. (MNS)

Described are: how teachers can use the computer language Logo, along with noncomputer activities, for teaching about linear and two-dimensional patterns and about combining shapes to create more complex shapes. Three computer program listings are included. (MNS)

Shortcomings of current curricula for geometry in the elementary school are discussed. The use of the computer programing language Logo to develop geometric ideas is described, with supporting research. (MNS)

Presented is an activity in which probability and percents are taught using a basketball computer simulation. Computer programs that replicate the free-throw accuracy of college and professional stars and allow students to compete with those stars are included. (KR)
