This is a general information document describing the Hertfordshire Computer Managed Mathematics Project funded over a four-year period by the National Development Programme in Computer Assisted Learning. Its aims were to develop a two-year course for all-ability 11-to 13-year-old pupils and to implement a computer system to serve the course. This…

In the early 1970's, a major modification of the introductory service course in statistics at Brigham Young University was implemented, first on an experimental basis and then in all sections by 1974-75. The basic components of the course that distinguish it are: a self-pacing text prepared under the guidance of educational research specialists; a…

Using a $274,300 grant from the National Science Foundation, Miami-Dade Community College augmented its Mathematics Learning Center with a multi-media, computer-assisted program of individualized instruction designed to efficiently aid the growing number of students with mathematics deficiencies. This program has three interlocking components. The…

How microcomputers are to be utilized in on-going mathematics instruction is discussed. In the first section, the ideas of Skinner are considered in relation to microcomputer use. How computer-assisted instruction would appear when Skinner's programmed learning suggestions are followed is described, and other points of his philosophical beliefs…

Describes the processes involved in leading students from the basics of MaxMix courseware to the final investigation. Discusses a mathematical game, number and graphic tasks included in the package, along with invoking meaningful interaction and integration into classroom mathematics. (RT)

The first of a three-part series on computer-assisted instruction (CAI), this report describes 11 exemplary programs across the country that involve the use of microcomputers for instruction in computer science, mathematics, and science at the elementary and secondary levels. At the head of each description are the name and address of the school…

Described in this report is the strand program as used in the teaching of drill-and-practice mathematics in California, Kentucky, and Mississippi schools, at the Tennessee A. and I. University, and in Washington, D.C.; as used in the drill-and-practice reading courses; in logic and algebra; in a second-year Russian program, and in…

Computer-assisted instruction was utilized in seven separate programs at Stanford involving children. In the Brentwood Mathematics program, multivariate data analysis for 73 first graders led to identification of factors affecting performance on mathematical problems. In the reading program for first and fourth graders, progress was made in…
