Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Microcomputer programs that help students calculate permutations and combinations are developed. Listings of five programs are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers, Number Concepts

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Two graphics programs for students in grades six-12 are given. "Circle Through 3 Points" and "Star Polygons." Students gain familiarity with the xy-plane, the radii and centers of circles, and ellipses, while more advanced students learn about parametric equations and using random numbers to produce random shapes. (MNS)

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The progression from simple interest to compound interest leads naturally and quickly to the number e, involving mathematical discovery learning through writing programs. Several programs are given, with suggestions for a teaching sequence. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Discovery Learning, Learning Activities, Mathematics Instruction

Mason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo to work through a maze is described. Suggested programs to help students learn to debug programs are also included, along with the story of the original "computer bug." (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Error Patterns

Shumway, Richard J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Using Logo as a companion language to BASIC is suggested. Variations on a computer program on squares are given, with follow-up activities suggested. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts

Senteni, Alain – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
Four methods of filling a square using programing with Logo are presented, with comments on children's solutions. Analysis of the mathematical or programing concepts underlying a few simple algorithms is the focus. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Fleisher, Paul – Classroom Computer Learning, 1985
Presents various exercises and programs to demonstrate how low-resolution graphics (for Apple microcomputers) can be utilized in the mathematics classroom. (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Ott, Jack A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
A realistic problem is presented, computing the probability of winning a sports playoff series if the probability if winning a single game is known. Only simple permutation formulas and some basic logic are required to solve the problem. Two computer programs and a discussion of solution methods are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Mathematics Instruction, Microcomputers, Probability

Mathematics in School, 1985
A report on the use of microcomputers is summarized, with recommendations on algorithms and procedures, the value of short programs, programs designed for general distribution, mathematical utilities, and developments in hardware. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Guidelines, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Instruction
Fleisher, Paul – Classroom Computer Learning, 1985
Discusses high resolution (hi-res) graphics programing on the Apple microcomputer, emphasizing its use in the mathematics classroom. Sample programs to plot dots and diagonals as well as programs for creating more complex visuals and patterns are included. (JN)
Descriptors: Computer Graphics, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Flanders, Harley – College Mathematics Journal, 1987
A program for drawing a line segment is developed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algorithms, College Mathematics, Computer Graphics, Computer Software

Thomas, David A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Presented is an interactive Applesoft BASIC program that graphically demonstrates the central limit theorem. It can be used as the basis of a lab to illustrate the main conclusions of the theorem. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Software, Graphs, Mathematics Instruction

Hampel, Paul J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
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)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Klotz, Frederick S. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1988
Mathematical methods are used to study certain related Logo procedures in detail. Simple procedures with known properties are then used to build the higher-level procedures which correspond to higher-level mathematical concepts. Examples are from introductory aspects of number theory. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Software, Higher Education, Integers

Kimberling, Clark – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Explores a particular method of searching for roots that lends itself well to discovery learning through writing a computer program. The teacher-student interaction is given, and two computer program listings are included. (MNS)
