Peer reviewedFennell, F. M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
Suggestions are given for teaching flowcharting at the elementary school level. A short list of sources for free materials on computers is included. (DT)

Stanford Univ., CA. School Mathematics Study Group. – 1971
The teacher's guide for the second unit of this SMSG series covers the two chapters in Unit 2 of the student text on algorithms and flow charts and on problem formulation. The overall purpose for each of the chapters is described, the prerequisite knowledge needed by students is specified, the mathematical development of each chapter is detailed,…

Stanford Univ., CA. School Mathematics Study Group. – 1971
This is the second unit in a series of 14 SMSG texts designed to cover mathematical concepts which the general population should know. One chapter of the unit discusses algorithms, flow charts, and computers; the second chapter tackles problem formulation procedures (not actual problem solving) and briefly covers mathematical models. For a special…

Peer reviewedRitchie, W. A. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The use of flow charts in the teaching of college mathematics enhances students' understanding of mathematical processes. Used appropriately in elementary and secondary schools they could also nurture understanding of algorithms. (SD)

Peer reviewedWatson, 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)

Peer reviewedEdens, 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)

This experiment was conducted to determine the efficiency of three forms of an algorithm of known effectiveness and the effects of its availability following initial instruction. The dependent variable was time to solve computational problems requiring rule application. The algorithm was presented in three forms: prose, flowchart, and gradual…

Peer reviewedFord, Janet E.; McLeod, Douglas B. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1977
In this study, a unit on flow charts was developed and its effectiveness in helping teachers explain some algorithms from arithmetic was determined. Findings showed that constructing flow charts helped students give a more complete list of instructions for an algorithm, but didn't help them give better justifications for algorithms. (DT)

Bluman, Allan G. – MATYC Journal, 1976
Advantages of using flow charts are listed. Flow charts for adding and subtracting fractions and for polynomial division are provided. Rules for constructing flow charts are given. (DT)
