Peer reviewedElgarten, Gerald H. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Discusses a structured approach to teaching computer programing in secondary schools. The approach can be used in an introductory computer programing (literacy) course or as a method to teach computer programing in traditional mathematics courses. Two sample lesson summaries (related to temperature conversions) are included. (JN)
