Petosa, Rita L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
In one school, algorithmic development has been infused in the mathematics curriculum. An example of what occurs in mathematics classes since the teachers began using the computer is given, with two students' conjectures included as well as the algebraic justification. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Cognitive Processes, Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education

Curley, Walter – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
After a brief discussion of Pascal's triangle and description of four methods of hand construction, the author provides FORTRAN and BASIC programs for computer construction based on recursive definition. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Programs, Curriculum, Instruction

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Microcomputer programs that help students calculate permutations and combinations are developed. Listings of five programs are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers, Number Concepts

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The progression from simple interest to compound interest leads naturally and quickly to the number e, involving mathematical discovery learning through writing programs. Several programs are given, with suggestions for a teaching sequence. (MNS)

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
A programing contest was designed to promote interest in mathematical randomness. Student-developed programs making clever uses of random numbers are presented. Modifications users might make are suggested. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers, Number Concepts

Eng, Marita; Casey, John – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
Explorations of Pascal's triangle through computer programming are described. Programming offers different methods and techniques that enrich the topic. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Learning Activities, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematics Instruction

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Programs are listed for integer powers and fractional powers, with discussion of how to use them in instruction. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Software, Higher Education, Mathematics Instruction

Spence, Lawrence E.; Eynden, Charles Vanden – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Programing a microcomputer to solve problems in whole-number arithmetic, rather than using the built-in operations of the computer, is described. Not only useful, it also enhances important mathematical concepts and is adaptable to a range of student abilities. (MNS)
Descriptors: Addition, Algorithms, Arithmetic, Computation

Haigh, William E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Presents an activity, suitable for students in grades 6-12, on generating random numbers. Objectives, equipment needed, list of prerequisite experiences, instructional strategies, and ready-to-copy student worksheets are included. (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Elementary School Mathematics, Intermediate Grades, Learning Activities

Kulm, Gerald – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How the computer can become an integral part of mathematics learning at the junior high school level is discussed in terms of mathematics processes. The rationale for activities involving programmed processes and examples of them are given. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Geometric Concepts, Junior High School Students

Donahue, Richard J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
A six-lesson unit on computing the palindromic sum of any given two-digit number is outlined. To write a brief, efficient computer program, students need to use several computer functions not typically applied in beginning programs. (MNS)
