Explores the parallel axes representation (PAR) of linear functions. Illustrates the influences of slope and intercept values on the representation. Appended are five exercises for making the PAR programs using BASIC language. (YP)

Presents several examples of the iteration method using computer spreadsheets. Examples included are simple iterative sequences and the solution of equations using the Newton-Raphson formula, linear interpolation, and interval bisection. (YP)

The author argues the necessity of ensuring that mathematics is perceived by children as being useful. An example is provided which is intended to give children experiences which might help them develop a rationale for learning. It involves an item of computer software which simulates car racing.
