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
Murphy, Brian J. – Creative Computing, 1983
Computer games and tutorials for young children are reviewed. These include mathematics and language games, alphabet and number/counting primers, music games, and an arcade game. Program name, format, language, current price, manufacturer, and description are provided for each program reviewed. (JN)
