Provides statistical data on numbers of computers in schools, distribution of computers, use of software packages, teachers' use of technology, lesson time spent using information technology, usefulness of information technology for teaching and learning, and expertise and confidence of teachers. (ASK)

Discusses a way to help children retain the desire to understand mathematical ideas and to carry out routine procedures. Describes a method using computers to teach linear equations and calculus. Eight references are listed. (YP)

Discusses the uses of microcomputers in British elementary mathematics education. Describes the impact of electronics, teacher use of software, student use of software, and programing activities. Lists several mathematics software sources. (YP)

Describes a project designed to explore possible ways to exploit the use of home-owned computers. Project efforts produced a collection of 72 worksheets containing a short program that students use interactively to complete the worksheet at home. A trial period describes the method of use, response of the students, and the response of the…

The author argues the necessity of ensuring that mathematics is perceived by children as being useful. An example is provided which is intended to give children experiences which might help them develop a rationale for learning. It involves an item of computer software which simulates car racing. (PK)

One of the areas in which the microcomputer excels is that of the very rapid addition of a sequence of numbers. Many problems in mathematics can be reduced to such an addition. Examples of problems and computer programs are included. (PK)

The quadratic function can be modeled in real life by a suspension bridge that supports a uniform weight. This activity uses concrete models and computer generated graphs to discover the mathematical model of the shape of the main cable of a suspension bridge. (MDH)

Examines the historical development of logarithm tables. Suggests that students should write computer programs to calculate logarithms. (PK)

Argues that Turtle Geometry has a great deal to offer mathematics teaching and learning. Suggests that it helps develop general problem-solving strategies and encourages new approaches to teaching and learning. (PK)
