Examples are given of how calculator-sized pocket computers, which can receive, store, and execute BASIC programs, can be used in mathematics classrooms. (MNS)

Explorations of Pascal's triangle through computer programming are described. Programming offers different methods and techniques that enrich the topic. (MNS)

The first aim in school might be to help children become more aware of the algorithmic processes they use; then, ensure that they can devise algorithms and define them. Many examples of how these aims can be met are given, including the use of calculators and computers. (MNS)

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.…

The role of computers (especially microcomputers) in the mathematics curriculum and suggestions for using them in mathematics instruction are discussed in this yearbook. The 27 articles are presented under five headings. Part 1, Issues, includes articles on comprehensive instructional computing, possible new curricula, and a syllabus for a…

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…
