Literature Relating Critical Skills for Problem Solving in Mathematics and in Computer Programming.

Peer reviewed

McCoy, Leah P. – School Science and Mathematics, 1990

Selects five critical elements for success in problem solving in mathematics and in computer programing: general strategy; planning; logical thinking; variables; and debugging. Describes the role of the five elements based on a literature review. Forty-one references are listed. (YP)

Algebraic versus Programming Approach to Solving Mathematical Modeling Problems.

Peer reviewed

Adner, Haya – School Science and Mathematics, 1990

Investigated the effect of the choice of a model's medium (algebraic expression or computer program) on the performance of students. Student programers did not transfer the qualities of a computer program approach to their algebraic models. Provides items for five tests. (YP)
