Thornton, E. B. C. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Mathematical concepts and experiences are recalled and organized in a flow chart format. The power of unifying ideas in mathematics often causes this sequence to be forgotten or assigned less importance than it should be. (SD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Development, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Flow Charts

Watson, F. R. – Mathematics in School, 1975
The teaching of non-numerical flow charting to all pupils is advocated as a means of preparing students for decision making. Several sample problems are provided. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Curriculum, Flow Charts, Instruction

Edens, A. J. – Mathematics in School, 1975
An approach to teaching children aged 12 through 14 a substantial course about computers is described. Topics covered include simple algorithms, information and communication, man-machine communication, the concept of a system, the definition of a system, and the use of files. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Communications, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Science Education

Willson, William Wynne – Mathematics in School, 1977
The author recommends the use of flow charting to help students understand the manipulation of algebraic formulae. He identifies some problems with flow charts and suggests an alternative method of constructing flow diagrams. (SD)

Smart, N. M. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Described are the text materials "The Computer - Yours Obediently," developed for a course in computer appreciation. (SD)
Descriptors: Computer Science Education, Computers, Curriculum, Flow Charts

Witcomb, J. A. – Mathematics in School, 1977
In this second article on flow charts, examples of pictorial and verbal flow charts are given, rules for constructing a flow chart are listed, and sample numerical flow charts are provided. (DT)

Simpson, E. J. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Several problems involving "pi" and "e" can be approached by diagramming, flow charting, and computer programing. (SD)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Programs, Flow Charts, Geometric Concepts

Tapson, Frank – Mathematics in School, 1985
Flow diagrams developing cube roots and formulas for the square, sphere, cube, circle and sector, oblong, and cylinder are presented. Some comments on their use, along with calculators, are included. (MNS)
