Paoletti, Teo; Monahan, Ceire; Vishnubhotla, Madhavi – Mathematics Teacher, 2017
GeoGebra is a free tool that has the potential to change both how and what is taught in mathematics. GeoGebra allows teachers and students to explore various mathematical ideas either through the full applet (https://www.geogebra.org/graphing) or by sharing applets via GeoGebra's Materials site (https://www.geogebra. org/materials/). It has many…

Quinn, Anne – Mathematics Teacher, 2016
While looking for an inexpensive technology package to help students in statistics classes, the author found StatKey, a free Web-based app. Not only is StatKey useful for students' year-end projects, but it is also valuable for helping students learn fundamental content such as the central limit theorem. Using StatKey, students can engage in…

Wiatt, Joyce – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How 125 seventh graders had three days of hands-on computer experience is described in some detail. Computer programs are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Oriented Programs, Computer Software, Grade 7, Mathematics Instruction

Gilliland, Kay; Pollard, Mattye – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Issues about computer use are addressed by a discussion activity designed to help students think about situations and understand various points of view. Four situations are given, each presented from the viewpoints of four persons. (MNS)

Thompson, Patrick W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The project described in this article grew from the observation that many geometry students are unable to see anything in a diagram beyond a static presentation. A computerized microworld called "Motions" is described, with illustrations. (MNS)

Waits, Bert K.; Demana, Franklin – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
An approach to finding the rational roots of polynomial equations based on computer graphing is given. It integrates graphing with the purely algebraic approach. Either computers or graphing calculators can be used. (MNS)

Dence, Joseph B.; Dence, Thomas P. – Mathematics Teacher, 1993
Presents an algorithm to estimate pi by approximating a unit circle with a sequence of inscribed regular polygons. Demonstrates the application of the algorithm with a hand-held calculator and an Apple computer. Provides a program to calculate pi in Pascal programing language. (12 references) (MDH)

Winter, M. J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
How to find and classify positive integral solutions to 1/a + 1/b = 1/c in beginning and advanced algebra classes is described. The computer finds the solutions, but students practice algebraic manipulation as they analyze the solutions for patterns. Extensions to challenge more capable students are included. (MNS)

Kieren, Thomas E.; Olson, Alton T. – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Two incidents involving novice teachers with classes in grades 7 and 10 are presented. Then considered are the nature of intuitive mathematics and contributions computers can make to such intuitive mathematics, particularly in Algebra. (MNS)

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)
