Designed to help simplify climatic classification, this article provides a flow chart for interpreting the most widely used climatic classification system. (DE)

Describes how to motivate middle school readers by using story flow chart organizers. Provides a sample story flow chart for "The Long Way Around" by Jean McCord. (MM)

Suggests that students create "mind maps" and wall charts to help them make and review economic connections. Recommends starting with a picture or question in the center, printing, using color, redrafting, and keeping the chart simple. Includes samples of charts produced by students. (DK)

Demonstrates that an elementary understanding of computer programing and the development and illustration of the structure of computer program analysis will be valuable assets in the understanding and teaching of mathematics and may be used as modeling devices to simulate the stages of learning. (Author)

Suitable for secondary school students, the workbook provides flowcharting activities to help students understand the logical steps used in problem solving. Before applying the flowcharting procedures to mathematical problems, students are first introduced to familiar non-mathematical problems such as sharpening a pencil or eating peanuts. Section…

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)

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)

This volume contains preliminary versions of five of the chapters prepared by the SMSG curriculum project for use in grades 7 and 8. The first four chapters and the tenth chapter in the sequence are presented. The sample chapters in this volume illustrate a number of aspects of the curriculum project: (1) association of ideas of number and space…

This is a flowcharting unit developed by teachers. There is a listing of the unit's objectives, the terminal one being that the student be able to draw and follow a flowchart describing a simple task involving a decision. A copy of the pretest is included. The first set of materials consists of four lessons and is a contract the student makes with…

This article looks beyond class size to such specifics as teachers' load, subject electives available, subject load, and different class groupings in developing a flow chart that gives added understanding and control over the variables relating to the deployment of teachers. (Author/IRT)

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)

Discusses the development and use of flowcharts to involve students in the major stages of experimental design and hypothesizing. The progress of stages attempts to simplify the complexity involved during problem-solving in science investigations. Several illustrative flowcharts are included. (JN)

Results of this study, done with underachieving ninth graders, indicate that flow charting as a structure for basic skills instruction can be considered as effective as the traditional approach. (MK)

Presents a classroom technique designed to aid student understanding of science that involves a flow chart of the scientific method. Affords a conceptual framework for organizing many research concepts taught in introductory science classes. Contains 19 references. (DDR)
