The author suggests that slope be introduced as a topic independent of graphs, and that it be presented in a way that makes some sense of using a fraction to represent it. Many examples are included. (MNS)

Demonstrates how microcomputers can be used in teaching differential calculus, iteration, integral calculus, graphs, and statistics. Several ideas for putting this information into practice are outlined. Sample computer programs are included for the discussions on differential calculus, integral calculus, and iteration. (JN)

Presented are activities which use data from an instrument which combines speedometer, odometer, and clock readings on a circular graph. Applications of linear graphs using actual and simulated tachographs are discussed. Examples of student work are given. (CW)

Presents examples of line and curve graphs. Suggests some ways of using graphs to increase student learning. (YP)

An intuitive approach to exponential functions is described. Microcomputers are used to aid discovery of derivatives. (MNS)

Describes a variety of activities to develop ideas of pattern, mapping, and graphing for high-level high school mathematics classes. Provides problems and their answers with screen displays for the Casio graphic calculators. (YP)

Considers definitions of quantiles. Describes median and quartiles. Compares the usefulness of 3 different definitions of quartile using a computer program to simulate 500 quantiles on a sample of a fixed size. Five references are listed. (YP)

A programing approach is described, using numerical methods to draw implicit functions, without solving the relationships explicitly. Several examples are discussed, with programs and printouts included. (MNS)

Programs (using Logo) developed by children to produce multiples, the Fibonacci series, and square numbers are presented, with graphical representations of functions introduced. Another investigation involves drawing a circle using turtle graphics. (MNS)

Ways of solving a problem on the connection between heat loss and the ratio of surface area to volume are described. Tables and graphs are included. (MNS)

Discusses a way to help children retain the desire to understand mathematical ideas and to carry out routine procedures. Describes a method using computers to teach linear equations and calculus. Eight references are listed. (YP)

Presented is a set of mathematics problems associated with the characteristics, production, and consumption of chicken eggs. Student assignment sheets are included. (CW)
