Oner, Diler – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 2008
In this study, I present an analysis of high school geometry curricula regarding mathematical proof opportunities. I examined eight U.S. high school level geometry textbooks, which were categorized into three main groups: technology-intensive, standards-based, and traditional curricula. I conceptualized "ideal" proving activity combining…

Szymanski, Witold A. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1994
This paper advocates the use of symbolic computation packages as another aid in teaching geometry. The need for such packages and their use in computerized proofs are demonstrated by a problem in high school planar geometry. (LZ)

Powers, Michael H. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1984
Outlines a problem-solving method for beginning chemistry students that utilizes specific, concrete steps as well as computer-assisted tutorials. The method involves an approach referred to as the Factor-Unit Method coupled with a graphical "road map" which allows students to trace problems from start to finish. (JN)

McCoy, Leah P. – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1991
An experimental design study compared the effect of periodic use of the "Geometric Supposers" software to nonuse on geometry achievement of two tenth grade classes (n=58). Results suggest that "Geometric Supposers" promotes higher achievement, particularly on Higher Level and Application Problems. No difference on Lower Level…

Filimonov, Rossen; Kreith, Kurt – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Describes the Plane Geometry System computer software developed at the Educational Computer Systems laboratory in Sofia, Bulgaria. The system enables students to use the concept of "algorithm" to correspond to the process of "deductive proof" in the development of plane geometry. Provides an example of the software's capability…
