Describes an inexpensive solution to the problem of transferring pictures onto a television screen using the analog part of the Model "B" BBC Microcomputer. Instruction for building the graphics tablet (which can easily be constructed by secondary students), program listing for required software, and documentation are included. (JN)

Presents activities and program listings to print ASCII characters, examine the "IF" command (Pascal), change colors of a word on the screen (Atari), and to create a drawing tool for making designs (Logo). Also presents an activity on dummy sorting. (JN)

Presents programming ideas using LOGO, activity for converting flowchart into a computer program, and a Pascal program for generating music using paddles. Includes the article "Helping Computers Adapt to Kids" by Philip Nothnagle; a program for estimating length of lines is included. (JN)

The nature of instruction in a computer club that is open only to seventh to ninth graders is detailed. The club has access to five TRS-80 Model II computers, and membership is limited. Students are instructed from the beginning in graphics. Examples of program assignments are listed. (MP)

This reprint of a Project Solo curriculum module discusses graphing by computer, gives an example of a BASIC program used to graph a second degree polynomial, and provides suggested exercises in programing. (MK)

The major intent of this project was to design microcomputer lessons utilizing the unique features of computers to teach a high school mathematics topic. After reviewing the literature, it was decided to write a series of three tutorial lessons for a class in high school trigonometry which would present the concepts of amplitude, period, phase…

A computer program is presented which simulates the classical probability machine, using Applesoft II high-resolution graphics. Many variables are left to the user's choosing. Suggestions for using the machine, understanding the problem, the mathematical model, and further program documentation are given. (MNS)

Describes a short computer program written in Logo programing language designed to provide students with new experiences in the study of vectors as they apply to classical physics. Suggestions for introductions, preparation, follow-up activities, and program examples are included. (EJS)

The use of microcomputers to aid geometry instruction is emphasized through discussion of a program written in BASIC which provides for experimenting with polynomial curves. The program listing is included. (MP)

A hungry worm is looking for something to eat according to very specific rules, and the path he takes is a graph. The problem is detailed in Applesoft BASIC using low resolution graphics for worms that turn 90 degrees and high resolution for worms that can turn 45 degrees. (MP)

A program developed by a high school freshman is presented that plots unusual graphs on the screen of a TRS-80 computer. The view promoted is that teachers of advanced mathematics should not be surprised if new ways of looking at the subject come from students interacting with computers. (MP)

This paper outlines the development of an activity that uses the computer's unique capabilities to provide students with a meaningful and highly motivating experience with the graphing of equations. The basic design of the game calls for the computer to display a coordinate grid on which it graphs any equations that are typed in by the student.…

This guide was prepared to help teachers of the Lincoln Public School's introductory computer programming course in BASIC to make the necessary adjustments for changes made in the course since the purchase of microcomputers and such peripheral devices as television monitors and disk drives, and the addition of graphics. Intended to teach a…

A set of programs, designed to supplement a high school or college course in trigonometry, is described. Student exploration is stressed. (MP)

Discusses various ways science can be taught using microcomputers, including simulations/games which allow large-scale or historic experiments to be replicated on a manageable scale in a brief time. Examples of several computer programs are also presented, including "Experiments in Human Physiology,""Health Awareness…
