Computer "Glass Boxes" as Advance Organizers in Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Elliott, Portia C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The author proposes that computer programs which are designed to make algorithmic structures accessible and comprehensible be employed as advance organizers in mathematics instruction. These programs would bring clarity and structural integration to mathematical, instructional, and cognitive structures important to the mastery of mathematical…

Computing in Mathematics Education
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Gunzenhauser, R. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1975
In this paper, prepared for a European conference on mathematics education, the author examines three types of computer use in undergraduate and high school classrooms: Using the computer as an instructional tool for student development of algorithms, teaching about the computer itself, and use of computer-assisted instruction.

A General Concept Internalization Model Exemplified by the Long Division Algorithm
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
MacDonald, T. H. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1977
The author develops a four-stage model for concept-internalization. The stages are: (1) concrete structure; (2) linguistic structure; (3) algorithm; and (4) mastery. The model is related to teaching methods and the teaching of long division is examined in detail. (SD)
