Addicks, Tom – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Use of Logo to teach statistical ideas is proposed for students in grades 5-10. Procedures and diagrams are suggested, with program listings for four models for graphs. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Graphs

Dugdale, 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)

Barclay, Tim – Classroom Computer Learning, 1987
The use of the microcomputer in an interactive graphics mode offers exciting possibilities for mathematics and science education. Errors made with graphs are used to introduce ideas of what should be taught. Both understanding equations and graphing utilities are stressed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Equations (Mathematics), Error Patterns

Stover, Donald W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1994
Graphs equations in two variables using a BASIC screen-sweep program that generates solutions to equations by applying the intermediate value theorem. Provides suggestions for investigations that result in graphs of a butterfly, the Cheshire cat, the Trisectrix of Catalna, E. T. waving goodbye, a praying mantis, and others. (MDH)

Mathews, John H. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Describes how the computer algebra system Mathematica can be used to enhance the teaching of the topics of sequences and series. Examines its capabilities to find exact, approximate, and graphically generated approximate solutions to problems from these topics and to understand proofs about sequences. (MDH)

Dugdale, Sharon – Classroom Computer News, 1983
Discusses computer games (called intrinsic models) focusing on mathematics rather than on unrelated motivations (flashing lights or sounds). Games include "Green Globs," (equations/linear functions), "Darts"/"Torpedo" (fractions), "Escape" (graphing), and "Make-a-Monster" (equivalent fractions and…

Haigh, William E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1989
Provides examples of such statistical graphs as line, bar, picture and pie. Suggests uses of Logo Turtle Graphics in graph construction. Includes several program procedures for creating designs with the computer. (RT)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Uses in Education, Computers, Experiential Learning

Rodgers, Marie – Mathematics in School, 1986
Ways of solving a problem on the connection between heat loss and the ratio of surface area to volume are described. Tables and graphs are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Area, Calculators, Graphs, Inservice Teacher Education

Day, Roger P. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Explores alternative strategies to solve algebraic equations that do not lend themselves to traditional methods. Examines one nontraditional equation by a graphical approach using a graphing utility and by a numerical approach using spreadsheets. Discusses new basic skills for algebra utilizing technology. Provides a computer program to solve…

Naraine, Bishnu – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Explores the concept of extraneous roots in radical equations using an alternative to traditional algebraic methods. Using calculator- or computer-based graphs, accounts for extraneous roots by examining the four possible cases of systems of equations that can produce the solution to the radical equation. (MDH)
