Oldknow, Adrian – Mathematics in School, 1986
Some techniques used in making animated computer games in order to highlight their mathematical content are presented through specific examples. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Educational Games, Mathematics Education

Backhouse, John K. – Mathematics in School, 1986
Presents a computer program written in BBC BASIC to create fractal patterns. Discusses program modifications and gives graphic examples of changes. (JM)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Courseware, Fractals, Geometry

Higgo, J. R. – Mathematics in School, 1984
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)
Descriptors: Calculus, Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Graphs

Brown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)
