Presents a device for sketching the graph of the composite and inverse of single variable real-valued functions. Discusses some didactic methods of paths. (YP)

Discusses a technique for graphically composing functions. Describes three-step composition procedures in two- and three-dimensional rectangular coordinate systems. Provides three examples. (YP)

Shows that graphs can reveal much about feedback systems that formula conceal, especially as microcomputers can provide complex graphs presented as animations and allow students to interact easily with them. Describes feedback systems, evolution of the system, and phase diagram. (YP)

Discusses the use of the computer to encourage a versatile approach to learning involving both symbolic/logical and visual/holistic types of mental activity. Provides experimental data showing the effect of an enhanced Socratic mode of teaching. (YP)

Promotes mathematics instruction that goes beyond computation and problem solving, attempting to make children the "posers of problems." Addresses differences in hemisphericity, processing, and learning styles, as well as maturation differences, sex differences, effects of stimulation, enriched environments, emotion, and the control of attention.…

Describes mathematics education programs in Texas schools. Emphasizes the mastery of skills and concepts, as well as problem solving. Presents the philosophies of the mathematics programs for elementary schools, and for grades seven and eight.
