Froelich, Gary – Consortium, 1991
Computer spreadsheets, computer graphing software, and programable graphing calculators are each demonstrated in the computational process of numerical iteration as a problem-solving method. Examples, illustrations, practical tips, and a typical calculator program are included. (JJK)

Albrecht, Bob; Firedrake, George – Learning & Leading with Technology, 1997
Describes projects for high school physics classes that use computer tools including integrated software packages, graphing calculators, and calculator-based lab and microcomputer-based lab. Sites available on the World Wide Web are discussed and specific examples of experiments based on Galileo and Newton are included. (LRW)

Mingus, Tabitha; Grassl, Richard – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1997
Secondary mathematics teachers participated in a problem-solving course in which technology became a means to develop as teachers and as problem solvers. Findings indicate a delineation between technical competence and metatechnology--thinking about how and when to apply technology to particular problems. (PVD)

Demana, Franklin; Waits, Bert K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Discusses solutions to real-world linear particle-motion problems using graphing calculators to simulate the motion and traditional analytic methods of calculus. Applications include (1) changing circular or curvilinear motion into linear motion and (2) linear particle accelerators in physics. (MDH)

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1992
Presented are two reasons discouraging computer symbol manipulation systems use in school mathematics at present: cost for computer laboratories or expensive pocket computers; and impracticality of exact solution representations. Although development with this technology in mathematics education advances, graphing calculators are recommended to…

Naraine, Bishnu – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Explores the concept of extraneous roots in radical equations using an alternative to traditional algebraic methods. Using calculator- or computer-based graphs, accounts for extraneous roots by examining the four possible cases of systems of equations that can produce the solution to the radical equation. (MDH)
