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…
