The rapid growth in diversity of information and communication technologies (ICT) enables a range of teaching methods, learning support strategies, and education settings to be developed. Questions about appropriate, effective, and efficient use of educational technology in teaching mathematics have been gaining more attention. This study focuses…

A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)

This article: describes how to prevent pins on game paddles from breaking; suggests using needlepoint books for ideas to design computer graphics; lists a BASIC program to create a Christmas tree, with extension activities; suggests a LOGO Christmas activity; and describes a book on the development of microcomputers. (JN)

The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)

Beginning with a simple computer program to teach a fundamental concept and building in small increments is suggested. For the topic of repeated operations, three activities, an extension, and some problems are given. (MNS)

The premise behind this document is that a generation gap is opening between 8-year-olds and 16-year-olds in terms of technological respect, ease of hardware usage, and understanding of process tools. Therefore, this publication seeks to develop awareness and skills with data bases, computer graphics, programming, spreadsheets, simulations,…

Described are: how teachers can use the computer language Logo, along with noncomputer activities, for teaching about linear and two-dimensional patterns and about combining shapes to create more complex shapes. Three computer program listings are included. (MNS)

The focus of this workshop involving people from 13 countries in Asia and the Pacific Region was on using computers to assist learning in mathematics. The report contains the following sections: (1) Introduction; (2) The Mathematics Curriculum: Innovation and Change; (3) The Mathematics Classroom: New Ideas with Computers; (4) Software: Quality…

A two-week summer computer camp for teachers in grades one through seven is described. Examples of programing in Logo are included, as well as an overview of the curriculum, materials, evaluation, and recommendations. (MNS)

Shortcomings of current curricula for geometry in the elementary school are discussed. The use of the computer programing language Logo to develop geometric ideas is described, with supporting research. (MNS)
