Harris, Judi – Computing Teacher, 1991
Arguing that mathematics is a form of communication that students need help in understanding, this article describes a set of seven simple interactive LogoWriter tools that can be used to help children explore the language of multiplication. Examples of the use of graphics in responding to children's commands are provided and several exercises are…

Peer reviewedAndersen, Lyle E.; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1988
Ways to combine the strengths of teacher and computer are suggested. Multiplication concepts and an algorithm for multiplication are taught in the same lessons. The computer is used as an electronic chalkboard to teach at a semiconcrete level. The computer program is included. (MNS)

Peer reviewedAttisha, M.; Yazdani, M. – Instructional Science, 1984
Describes a microcomputer-based system for diagnosing children's multiplication errors which incorporates the knowledge base of all known systematic multiplication errors, and utilizes a modular approach to cope with the program's complexity. Each module's function, how the programs interact, and the design of pupil-machine interaction are…

Peer reviewedCarrier, Carol; And Others – Journal for Research in Mathematics Education, 1985
Students from six fourth-grade classes were paired and randomly assigned to computer or worksheet treatments on multiplication and division. Those using computer-based drill-and-practice programs made greater gains on some tests of basic facts, but had no higher retention of algorithms. (MNS)

Mich, Peter T.; Nardine, Frank E. – 1986
Recall of multiplication number facts is a major educational objective in elementary grades, yet some children never acquire total mastery. A microcomputer multiplication number facts training program was developed which incorporated programmed instructional features including feedback, positive reinforcement, vanishing, branching and pairing.…

Peer reviewedVacc, Nancy Nesbitt – Journal of Educational Technology Systems, 1992
Discusses methods for teaching mathematics skills and describes a study of third graders that compared student performances on worksheets, a microcomputer drill and practice program, and daily one-minute timing procedures of precision teaching for independent practice of multiplication facts. Results indicate that precision teaching was the most…
