Some ways computers are used in classrooms today and their potential as a tool to enhance instruction are explored. Considered are graphics, lesson planning, test preparation, drill and practice, remedial work, demonstrations, simulations, and introduction to programming. (MNS)

Ideas for computer use are presented. A challenge problem, sources of information, and interesting facts are included. (MNS)

Experiences and suggestions from a teacher using computers in a grade five-six classroom are given. (MNS)

Descriptions of a program called muMATH and a computer language called muSIMP are given to show what the state of the art is in mathematical programing material for personal computers. The intent is to get college mathematics instructors thinking about what the future portends for their field. (MP)

Advantages and disadvantages of common ways to justify the answer to a probability problem are discussed. One explanation appears superior to the others because it is easy to understand, mathematically rigorous, generalizes to a broader class of problems, and avoids the deficiencies of the other explanations. (MNS)

Information on grants for computers, several recommended books, two Logo programs, and some quotations are included. (MNS)

The learning potential of Logo programing language is discussed. Observations of students in kindergarten and first grade interacting with a sequence of Logo activities led to the development of nine benchmarks. (MNS)

This paper is addressed to those who are concerned with the development of the school curriculum as a whole and to those who have a particular interest in mathematics. The aim is to promote discussion between these two overlapping groups, so that the growing use of computers in mathematics can be coordinated with developments in other areas of the…

A motivational classroom activity involving mazes, with explorations in the Logo programing language, is described. Use of the Big Trak toy to teach programing is also described. (MNS)

A program is given which offers students a chance to practice mental computation and judge the effects of various rules for formating output. (MNS)

Work with microcomputers should be included in the preservice teacher education program. Broadening students' horizons by making them aware of the scope and diversity of worthwhile uses of computers, questions to help them become discriminating, and modeling positive attitudes are each discussed. (MNS)

Issues related to decisions on who will use microcomputers in schools must be explored. The need to consider equity concerns is discussed. (MNS)

A description is given of some of the ways personal computers could be used in the classroom and the benefits of these uses. (MK)

This committee report presents survey results on the extent of the use of computers in British secondary schools, attitudes toward their use, and ways they are used. Future directions are discussed. (MNS)

The use of the computer language Logo offers an excellent opportunity to use technology to help develop problem-solving skills and other mathematical concepts. Examples of explorations are presented. (MNS)
