A computer program for PET users is presented that simulates a probability machine. (MP)

A computer program is given that will guess any number between 1 and 1,000,000 in no more than 20 guesses. Suggestions and materials for related instruction are included. (MP)

This teacher's guide contains computer programs, written in BASIC, for use in Iowa secondary school industrial arts programs. The programs were developed in two 2-week workshops by industrial arts teachers who had little or no previous experience with computers; the programs have been classroom tested and refined for publication. The programs are…

Difficulties encountered when drawing the graphs of linear equations are discussed. Programs are developed to overcome these and worksheets are given for further practice. (MP)

An account of student efforts to solve the problem of finding the equations for a pair of parabolas that intersect in exactly three points is given. The deceptively difficult problem leads to the rational root theorem and eventually to computer programs for locating roots and for approximating irrational roots. (MN)

The history and current nature of CONDUIT, an organization that reviews, tests packages and distributes computer-based materials, is presented. Although many of the units available are designed for collegiate instruction, some can be used at the high school level, particularly for enrichment studies for juniors and seniors. (MP)

Describes a computer program (for Apple II) that tests knowledge of four-letter words. The program, which includes four games and a dictionary, can be used in one of two modes (inquiry or game) by students at any level depending on version of dictionary selected. Dictionary operations and classroom applications are discussed. (JN)

"English: Basic Mechanics" is a series of computer-based lessons for the Apple II that allow students to practice applying the fundamentals of English grammar and punctuation. The two newest modules covering use of subordinate clauses and use of subordinate phrases are described. (JN)

An unusual shape is considered, and properties and steps in drawing it are detailed. The focus is on development and presentation of a computer program that will draw the curve. The program is written in BASIC with special plotting commands for a Techtronix computer, but is adaptable to other systems. (MP)

This software review focuses on five concept-related packages of programs in the Apple version and are viewed as well-written in terms of both educational sophistication and programing expertise. (MP)

A program written for the Apple II microcomputer that plots the "one-S" orbital of an atom is described. The material is used to move from the Bohr model of the atom to the quantum mechanical description. (MP)

Instructions for using the Huntington II Simulation Program - POLUT are contained in this resource handbook. POLUT is a program written in BASIC which provides simulation of the interaction between water and waste. It creates a context within which the user can control specific variables which affect the quality of a water resource. The output is…

A model computer which uses a common egg carton to represent computer memory is suggested for giving students a basic understanding of a computer's organization. Several programs using the model are included. (MN)

Details are provided of computer-simulated experiments developed by the co-directors of the Learning Research and Development Center (LRDC), University of Pittsburgh. The initial materials were designed to help students learn physics. New materials are being developed along similar lines for elementary mathematics. The views of the creators are…

Describes how a business education curriculum can be adapted to take advantage of modern technology and office equipment. Computer packages for five different areas are described and practical suggestions are given for classroom activities in accounting, office practice, secretarial practice, economics, business law, and sales.
