Peer reviewedGravina, Robert M. – Computers and Education, 1979
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.

Snover, Stephen L.; Spikell, Mark A. – 1979
An activity for secondary schools is presented and discussed which may be explored with a programmable calculator. The activity is non-standard and could not be easily explored without the use of a programmable calculator. Related activities are also discussed. Flow charts and programs for different programmable calculators are presented. (MP)

Snover, Stephen L.; Spikell, Mark A. – 1979
The application of the programmable calculator to evaluating complicated formulas is illustrated by considering the formula for finding the area of any triangle when only the lengths of the three sides are known. Other advantages of the programmable calculator are discussed such as freeing the student to explore more challenging problems and…

Moskowitz, Mickey – School Library Media Quarterly, 1982
Describes a systems development process to organize and report the data needed to prepare a microcomputer program for evaluating library instruction programs in high school libraries and media centers. A flow chart illustrating the sample program and seven references are included. (JL)

Snover, Stephen L.; Spikell, Mark A. – 1979
The message of this article is that there are many types of problems ordinarily requiring advanced techniques or special insight to solve which can now be done as simple programming exercises on inexpensive programmable calculators. Several examples appropriate for the secondary school curriculum are given. These are: (1) evaluating polynomials;…

Manipulation of flowcharting was crossed with in-class computer access to examine flowcharting effects in the traditional lecture/laboratory setting and in a classroom setting where online time was replaced with manual simulation. Seventy-two high school students (24 male and 48 female) enrolled in a computer literacy course served as subjects.…

Peer reviewedDonahue, Richard J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
A six-lesson unit on computing the palindromic sum of any given two-digit number is outlined. To write a brief, efficient computer program, students need to use several computer functions not typically applied in beginning programs. (MNS)
