Demonstrates that an elementary understanding of computer programing and the development and illustration of the structure of computer program analysis will be valuable assets in the understanding and teaching of mathematics and may be used as modeling devices to simulate the stages of learning. (Author)

Solutions to difficult equations are illustrated with numerical techniques that can be used easily on calculators. Flowcharts and programs for computers and calculators are included. (MP)

The teaching of non-numerical flow charting to all pupils is advocated as a means of preparing students for decision making. Several sample problems are provided. (SD)

Results of this study, done with underachieving ninth graders, indicate that flow charting as a structure for basic skills instruction can be considered as effective as the traditional approach. (MK)

An approach to teaching children aged 12 through 14 a substantial course about computers is described. Topics covered include simple algorithms, information and communication, man-machine communication, the concept of a system, the definition of a system, and the use of files. (SD)

Upper-level secondary students investigated square and triangular numbers and Pythagorean triples using computers. (SD)

Describes a pilot project for MATLAB work in both information communication technology (ICT) and mathematics. The ICT work is on flowcharts and algorithms and discusses ways of communicating with computers. Mathematics lessons involve early algebraic ideas of variables representing numbers. Presents an activity involving number sequences. (KHR)
