Peer reviewedTall, David, Comp. – Mathematics in School, 1987
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)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Educational Research, Educational Trends, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedThomas, M. O. J. – Mathematics in School, 1987
A module built around programing the computer is described. It recognizes the need of many children to have algebra introduced in a practical way and to give some concrete meaning to it. (MNS)

Peer reviewedBlow, David – Mathematics in School, 1980
This article examines the difference made in computing when one school switched from a terminal with a telephone link to a computer, to a complete microprocessor system. (MK)

Peer reviewedOldfield, John; Oldfield, Christine – Mathematics in School, 1985
The use of Logo to develop mathematical concepts is advocated. Children's comments as they work with Logo are presented. (MNS)

Peer reviewedBrown, Ken – Mathematics in School, 1986
Use of background grids from Logo programs is involved in this activity on angles and slopes. The value of such activities is then discussed. (MNS)

Peer reviewedTall, David – Mathematics in School, 1986
A programing approach is described, using numerical methods to draw implicit functions, without solving the relationships explicitly. Several examples are discussed, with programs and printouts included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Functions (Mathematics)
Peer reviewedWardle, Michael – Mathematics in School, 1983
The case for some elementary programing as part of mathematics instruction is presented. Ways in which microcomputers can be used in the mathematics classroom are described, with specific illustrations. (MNS)
