Peer reviewedElliott, Portia C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1978
The author proposes that computer programs which are designed to make algorithmic structures accessible and comprehensible be employed as advance organizers in mathematics instruction. These programs would bring clarity and structural integration to mathematical, instructional, and cognitive structures important to the mastery of mathematical…

Engel, Arthur – Mathematics Teaching, 1981
The need for incorporating algorithmics into mathematics instruction is presented. The proliferation of computers is seen to have made the designing of algorithms an essential skill. Examples are given, and the view that mathematics will lose much prestige and importance if algorithmics is not integrated into it is presented. (MP)

Funkhouser, Charles – 1990
The major perspectives on problem solving of the twentieth century are reviewed--associationism, Gestalt psychology, and cognitive science. The results of the review on teaching problem solving and the uses of computers to teach problem solving are included. Four major issues related to the teaching of problem solving are discussed: (1)…

Peer reviewedBaggett, Patricia; Ehrenfeucht, Andrzej – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1992
Examines the issue of how calculators and computers can best be used in mathematics education. Contends that practicing a procedure is noncognitive and does not produce learning. Suggests utilizing customized computerized tools in schools for getting answers to algorithmic problems instantly, thus allowing teachers to explain and students to…

Steiner, H. G., Ed.; Christiansen, Bent, Ed. – 1978
This volume is largely based upon the preparation for and proceedings of the Third International Congress on Mathematical Education (ICME) held in Karlsruhe, Federal Republic of Germany, in August 1976. The volume deals with 13 broad themes of general educational interest for mathematics teachers and educators. Six of these themes divided the…
