Johnson, Jerry L. – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1987
A new potential for using microcomputers to help secondary school students learn mathematics through self-diagnosis and self-remediation is contrasted with current uses of computers for diagnosis and remediation. Research findings and software are cited in the discussion. (MNS)

Johnson, Ellie – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1985
Illustrated first is the case in which a wrong procedure (with fractions) leads to a correct result. Trying to justify why it works in this case and looking for similar patterns involved interesting algebraic considerations as well as use of computers. (MNS)
