The aim of the 2018 International Association for Development of the Information Society (IADIS) Cognition and Exploratory Learning in the Digital Age (CELDA) conference was to address the main issues concerned with evolving learning processes and supporting pedagogies and applications in the digital age. There have been advances in both cognitive…

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)

How 125 seventh graders had three days of hands-on computer experience is described in some detail. Computer programs are included. (MNS)

Examines ten factors that people selecting and using computers in the classroom should consider if the system is to be most effectively utilized as a teaching tool. Topics include personnel, materials, services, and equipment. (DC)

The suggested program is designed for mathematics teachers. It concerns the solution of systems of linear equations, but it does not complete the job on its own. The user is the solver while the computer is merely a computing assistant. (MNS)

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)

The joint winter meeting of the American Association of Physics Teachers (AAPT) and the American Physical Society (APS) was held in Atlanta, Georgia, January 27-30, 1986. Abstracts of papers presented at the meeting and the complete program are provided. An author index is appended. (JN)

Offers suggestions for making good use of a single microcomputer in classes with large numbers of students. Strategies described include in-class demonstrations, laboratory station activities, group activities, enrichment activities, and data collection techniques. Diagrams of room arrangements to accomplish the strategies are included. (BC)

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)

An intuitive approach to exponential functions is described. Microcomputers are used to aid discovery of derivatives. (MNS)

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)
