How set theory, combinatorics, probability, and the study of algorithms can be used in solving two problems is described in detail. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

Solutions to difficult equations are illustrated with numerical techniques that can be used easily on calculators. Flowcharts and programs for computers and calculators are included. (MP)

A set of rules is given for developing pairs of numbers which can be plotted on a graph, to provide practice not only with graphing but also with computation. (JT)

Three teaching ideas are presented: a way to solve problems based on the attitude to the hypotenuse in a right triangle, some interesting applications of percentages in determining pay raises, and a flowchart guide for reducing polynomials. (MP)

A problem from number theory is used to illustrate the use of the computer and programable calculators in solving problems. Programs are included. (MP)

A problem from a course called "Introduction to Gambling" is described. A flowchart and a computer program are included. (MNS)

An easily made device can be used for drill and practice on computational skills. The procedure, which involves use of the overhead projector, is described in detail. Teachers using it can vary content and the speed with which students should respond. (SD)

The probability of winning the contest was analyzed, with the mathematical solution and a computer simulation given. A flowchart and computer program are both included. (MNS)

A six-lesson unit on computing the palindromic sum of any given two-digit number is outlined. To write a brief, efficient computer program, students need to use several computer functions not typically applied in beginning programs. (MNS)
