Peer reviewedDugdale, Sharon – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
The development and use of an activity that uses the computer's unique capabilities to provide students with a relevant and highly motivating experience with the graphing of equations is outlined. The activity, called "Green Globs," illustrates the potential of developing new environments for learning on computers. (MP)

Peer reviewedKimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
A function-graphing program is given, plus a series of experiments that students can carry out using the program. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Functions (Mathematics), Graphs, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedDickinson, J. Craig – Arithmetic Teacher, 1986
Four activities are outlined that give students the opportunity to organize and display data. Selecting topics and various ways of displaying data with a microcomputer are discussed. (MNS)

Peer reviewedHirsch, Christian R., Ed. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Stressed is a conceptual approach to absolute value, based on the visualization of the graphs of absolute-value equations. An important by-product is predicting a graph on the basis of certain constraints. Four worksheets plus teacher comments are included. (MNS)

Peer reviewedHirsch, Christian R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
On these worksheets, students are to graph pairs of linear equations and linear combinations of these pairs, using the results to discover an algebraic technique for solving a system of epuations. They then complete, run, and modify a computer program for solving a system of linear equations. (MNS)

Peer reviewedHirsch, Christian R., Ed.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Activities for investigating how the value of a variable in an equation affects the direction and shape of the graph are given. A computer program and three worksheets are included. (MNS)

Peer reviewedLevin, Ilya; Abramovich, Sergei – Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching, 1992
Examines the use of spreadsheets for solving equations by the method of iterations. The combination of the spreadsheets and graphical representation is shown to be appropriate both for teaching and learning the method of iterations and for investigating properties of equations. (Author)

Peer reviewedWardle, Michael – Mathematics in School, 1984
Some specific uses of microcomputers in mathematics instruction are presented. Included are examples for generating data and patterns, checking, practice of various types, developing understanding, comparing results, simulation of experiments, introducing new ideas, solving problems, and extending into new areas. Brief computer programs are given.…
