A Review of Selected Microcomputer Software Packages with Lessons for Teaching Mathematics Grades 8-12. Volume 2. A Curriculum Development Project of the Project To Increase Mastery of Mathematics and Science (PIMMS) [microform] / Nancy Cetorelli and Others.

The purpose of this project is to help teachers of mathematics get started using the computer to aid the teaching and learning of many mathematical concepts in a meaningful way. To this end, commercially available software packages are described which are versatile, cost effective, and easy to use....

520 |a The purpose of this project is to help teachers of mathematics get started using the computer to aid the teaching and learning of many mathematical concepts in a meaningful way. To this end, commercially available software packages are described which are versatile, cost effective, and easy to use. A review and several lessons, including homework exercises, have been written for each package and are presented in ready-to-use form. Chapter 1, "Polynomial Practice Using Tiles: Discovering Algebra" (Sunburst), includes three lessons about modeling and addition. Chapter 2, "Interpreting Graphs" (Sunburst/Conduit), presents a lesson about the relationship between graphs and events. Chapter 3, "The Geometric preSupposer" (Sunburst), provides five lessons about angles, right triangles, quadrilaterals, and segments. Chapter 4, "Geometric Supposer: Quadrilaterals" (Sunburst), offers three lessons about parallelograms and the trapezoid. Chapter 5 "Superplot" (EduSoft), is a lesson about graphing inverse functions. Chapter 6, "Introductory Statistics Software Package" (Addison-Wesley), contains four lessons about mean, standard deviation, distribution, sampling and correlation. The last chapter, "The Whatsit Corporation: Survival Math Skills" (Sunburst), has five lessons about predictions of impact of price, sales tax, and simulation. (YP)
