Thoughts on Algebra Teaching.

Peer reviewed

Eagle, M. Ruth – Mathematics in School, 1986

Reasons other than utility are needed to justify the place of algebra in the mathematics curriculum for all children. The possibility of considering generalized arithmetic and computer algebra are each discussed. (MNS)

Algebra with the Aid of a Computer.

Peer reviewed

Thomas, M. O. J. – Mathematics in School, 1987

A module built around programing the computer is described. It recognizes the need of many children to have algebra introduced in a practical way and to give some concrete meaning to it. (MNS)

Introducing Algebra on the Computer: Today and Tomorrow.

Peer reviewed

Tall, David – Mathematics in School, 1983

A first computer lesson in algebra is described, with illustrations of programing by students. Standard algebraic notation with BASIC are discussed, and further activities described. The purpose is to use the computer so that it develops a rational understanding of the mathematical concepts involved. (MNS)

Microdot: Computing in Mathematics. 1. Back to BASICs.

Peer reviewed

Wardle, Michael – Mathematics in School, 1983

The case for some elementary programing as part of mathematics instruction is presented. Ways in which microcomputers can be used in the mathematics classroom are described, with specific illustrations. (MNS)
