This book is organized in three major sections. The first section provides 15 lesson plans for the integration of activities involving computer uses in mathematics instruction. Each lesson plan includes grade level, objective, time, materials, important terms, background, suggestions, and activities. The second section provides a list of available…

Suggestions are provided on diskette care, software worth seeing, teaching that computers can't do everything, and a debugging activity. (MNS)

How to give students a concept of a computer's speed, information on films and software exchanges, and a BASIC program on estimation are included in this report. (MNS)

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)

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)

A procedure is described that enables students to perform operations on fractions with a calculator, expressing the answer as a fraction. Patterns using paper-and-pencil procedures for each operation with fractions are presented. A microcomputer software program illustrates how the answer can be found using integer values of the numerators and…

This publication lists microcomputer software for teaching Basic Skills Assessment Program (BSAP) objectives in mathematics for grades 1 through 8 in South Carolina. Software reviews were examined and 63 programs that had been given good reviews were chosen for inclusion. The software programs were then correlated and coded to the mathematics…

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)

Programs for computing simple interest and compound interest are presented and discussed. (MNS)

A computer program is given (in BASIC and Logo) to present problems of this form: Given the sum and difference of two integers, which is the larger? Other teaching suggestions are included. (MNS)

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 computer program is given which will generate a list of descriptions of the items to which a student has responded incorrectly on the Keymath Diagnostic Arithmetic Test. It is designed for the TRS-80, Model III, with two disk drives. The documentation lists all required materials, describes the six options and how to use them, indicates the…

Two computer games, Guess and Rule, can be used to improve students' thinking strategies. BASIC and Logo programs are given for each game, and facts and additional references are included. (MNS)

Four activities are outlined that give students the opportunity to organize and display data. Selecting topics and various ways of displaying data with a microcomputer are discussed. (MNS)

Suggestions for using a computer disc containing unprotected programs are given. The Fibonacci sequence, prime factorization, sum puzzlers, and other examples are described. (MNS)
