Beyond the Evident Content Goals Part I. Tapping the Depth and Flow of the Educational Undercurrent.
Peer reviewedDugdale, Sharon; Kibbey, David – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1990
The first in a series of three articles, successful instructional materials from a 15-year software development effort are analyzed and characterized with special attention given to educational experiences intended to shape students' perceptions of the fundamental nature, interconnectedness, and usefulness of mathematics. The software programs…

Peer reviewedTeles, Elizabeth J. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1991
Provides a brief explanation why instruction designed for use with the microcomputer can enhance students' understanding of the concept of function. Presents five lessons designed to help students develop a thorough understanding of functions and their uses, to encourage students to explore and verbalize mathematical ideas, and to assist in the…

Peer reviewedShama, Gilli; Dreyfus, Tommy – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Identified and classified solution strategies of (n=49) 10th-grade students who were presented with linear programming problems in a predominantly visual setting in the form of a computerized game. Visual strategies were developed more frequently than either algebraic or mixed strategies. Appendix includes questionnaires. (Contains 11 references.)…

Peer reviewedSunal, Dennis W., Ed.; Tracy, Dyanne M., Ed. – School Science and Mathematics, 1993
Describes an activity in which the students utilize the mathematics concepts of ratio, proportion, and data tabulation to examine the relationship between air pressure, temperature, and humidity. Students learn to approximate partial pressure by using humidity and temperature readings and by interpolating from the vapor pressure-temperature table.…

Peer reviewedSutherland, Rosamund – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1993
Analyzes case study data of 10 low achieving students, ages 14-15, to examine the effects of participation in computer spreadsheet sessions on their understanding of mathematical symbols. Participation improved students' attitudes toward problem solving. (MDH)
Descriptors: Affective Behavior, Algebra, Case Studies, Computer Assisted Instruction
Peer reviewedSpeitel, Thomas W. – Science Teacher, 1991
Explains how a computer uses its vision to determine the area, edge length, width, height, and center of mass in two dimensions from photos of backlit sea shells. Includes HyperCard codes used to instruct the computer to make the calculations. (MDH)
