Bridger, Maxine – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Utilizes a computer-generated graph to solve an equation for methods using trigonometric tables or less sophisticated calculators would likely fail because of round-off errors and limitations of the instruments. Discusses how this new technology can be utilized in mathematics instruction. (MDH)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computer Assisted Instruction, Equations (Mathematics), Geometric Concepts

Austin, Joe Dan – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Presents several problems that use calculator or computer-generated graphs of the absolute value function as related to the maximum and minimum functions to illustrate the statistical concepts of range, median, mean, and variance. (MDH)

Schielack, Jane F. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1991
Discussed is the importance of incorporating calculators and computers into the primary grades. Number concepts, counting skills, place-value, basic operations, problem-solving, and higher order thinking skills can be reinforced by using calculators and computers along with manipulatives. (KR)

Brady, Mary L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Described is a mathematics resource laboratory where students use a variety of computer materials to enhance, reinforce, and broaden their concepts of first- and second-year algebra and geometry. Included are sample laboratory sheets and the answers. (KR)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculators, Computer Assisted Instruction, Geometry

Hirsch, Christian R.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
Discussed is the place and teaching of trigonometry in a NCTM Standards-based mathematics curriculum. Presented is how these standards can be implemented in a technology-rich environment that encourages reasoning, communication, problem solving, and confidence building. Examples focus on functions, graphical sense, modeling, and identities. (KR)

Donley, H. Edward; George, Elizabeth Ann – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Demonstrates how to construct rational, exponential, and sinusoidal functions that appear normal on one scale but exhibit interesting hidden behavior when viewed on another scale. By exploring these examples, students learn the importance of scale, window size, and resolution effects in computer and calculator graphing. (MAZ)

Cieply, Joseph F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Stresses using the features of graphing calculators to teach parametric equations much earlier in the curriculum than is presently done. Examples using parametric equations to teach slopes and lines in beginning algebra, inverse functions in advanced algebra, the wrapping function, and simulations of physical phenomena are presented. (MAZ)

Parker, Janet; Widmer, Connie Carroll – Arithmetic Teacher, 1992
Describes the method to solve problems called T-E-M-T-T: trial, error, and modified trial through technology. The method integrates students' skills of estimation, mental computation, and appropriate choice of calculator use. Includes 2 activities for each of grades K-4 and 5-8 that illustrate the method. (MDH)

Stevenson, Frederick W. – 1992
This book attempts to introduce students to the creative aspects of mathematics through exploratory problems. The introduction presents the criteria for the selection of the problems in the book. Criteria indicate that problems should: be immediately attractive, require data to be generated or gathered, appeal to students from junior high school…
