Peer reviewedBloom, Lynette M.; And Others – Mathematics in School, 1986
An intuitive approach to exponential functions is described. Microcomputers are used to aid discovery of derivatives. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Discovery Learning, Functions (Mathematics), Graphs
Peer reviewedBrown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)

Peer reviewedWhite, James E. – College Mathematics Journal, 1988
Differences in computer languages are noted. Symbol-based languages offer some distinct advantages over number-based languages, both in the form and the content of the student's interaction with the computer. Some of these advantages are explored and their applications to teaching mathematics described. (MNS)

Peer reviewedGoldenberg, E. Paul – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1988
Computer software with graphic representations of functions can teach algebraic concepts, or can blur or obscure concepts of great importance. Making good use and bad use of visual imagery are each discussed. Then a general theory of interpretation of graphs is proposed, and a list of examples is presented. (MNS)

This document is the fourth of seven units developed by the Math Network Curriculum Project. Each unit, designed to be a 2-week module, is a teacher's guide which includes detailed directions along with the courseware and software needed. Teacher intervention in the non-computer activities that begin each unit is required, and the consistent use…
