A consortium of small rural school districts in West Virginia was created to sponsor a regional educational computer network. The project sought to provide computer science education for selected students, to complement science and mathematics instruction through computer-assisted instructional (CAI) problem-solving activities, and to aid…

The Berkeley Unified School District annually administers achievement tests covering the skills areas of reading, language, and arithmetic. All grades, one through twelve, are tested in reading. The Cooperative Primary Test is used in the first, second, and third grades since it is the State-mandated instrument. Grades four through twelve are also…

Discusses the use of courseware designed to prepare high school students for the Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT). Provides a review of six software packages specifically designed for this purpose. Discusses, as an alternative, a non-computer plan for SAT preparation. (TW)

Presents several ways that the microcomputer can be used as an aid in teaching various topics in calculus, including graphing functions, solving equations, finding limits and derivatives, and solving optimization problems. Emphasizes the use of computer software that tends to maximize the potential of computer graphics in mathematics instruction.…

Emphasizes the need for an appropriate curriculum framework for mathematics education in Great Britain which considers learning styles, teaching styles, and learning outcomes. Discusses content, learning, and organization, together with mathematical activity, as important factors to consider when creating and evaluating a nationally defined…

Discusses several ways in which the Logo programming language can be used to experiment with and learn about matrices. Describes procedures for developing a Logo tool to establish a matrix representation, as well as others for adding, subtracting, and transposing. (TW)
