A sample lesson is given in which students apply mathematics on a hypothetical trip. (MK)

Describes two simulations for practicing arithmetic skills: "Calculators," simulating the management of a store with a calculator, and "MECC 'Sell' Series," simulating profit-making with different levels of difficulty from grade two to eight. Provides hints for classroom use. (YP)

Presented is an activity in which probability and percents are taught using a basketball computer simulation. Computer programs that replicate the free-throw accuracy of college and professional stars and allow students to compete with those stars are included. (KR)

Two alternative representations for the concept of common multiples are presented. These representations can be modeled on or off the computer. (PK)

Presents a program to introduce fifth graders to everyday economic life by constructing a true-to-life simulation of an economic community. Students apply mathematics skills to managing a checking account, calculating electric bills, and managing shops using computers. (MDH)
