Sutherland, Rosamund – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989
Investigated are the developments of pupils' use and understanding of algebraic ideas within a LOGO programing context and a non-computational context. The research consists of a 3-year longitudinal case study of 4 pairs of pupils aged 11-16. LOGO experience enhanced the understanding of algebraic ideas. (Author/YP)

Identifies errors in spreadsheet and calculator programs. Comments on sorting programs and provides a source for Mathemagical Black Holes. (MVL)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Computation, Computer Graphics

Hennessy, Sara; And Others – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1989
Described is an article that describes an adaptive computer tutor for arithmetic entitled "Shopping on Mars." The purpose of the tutor is to help children develop an extensive repertoire of information techniques for performing arithmetic in everyday situations and to learn to formulate shortcuts in problem solving. Results of…

Linton, M. J.; And Others – 1987
Use of a computer programming language in problem-solving activities provides an opportunity to examine how young children use a restricted set of language primitives. The generation, and execution of computer instructions was used as a verification stage in the problem-solution process. The metric is intended to provide a descriptive…
