Description The goal of Utilizing Computers In Teaching Secondary Mathematics (UCTSM) is to improve mathematics skills through the use of microcomputer-based instructional materials and techniques. The program's package consists of two teachers' manuals and six disks (for TRS-80 or Apple II computers) containing approximately 70 computer programs which encompass six areas of secondary level mathematics--Algebra I & II, Geometry, Trigonometry, Calculus, and Applied Mathematics. While some programs are tutorial in nature, others are drill and practice or simulations using graphics. The programs can easily be integrated into any traditional math curriculum without the need to hire any additional staff.

UCTSM addresses Goals 3 and 4 of the National Goals for Education by providing instruction and practice for students of all ability levels to increase their performance in mathematics.

Awareness materials are available at no cost. Training is available at the adopter site (all expenses, plus trainer's fee must be paid). Implementation and follow-up services are also available to adopters (trainer's fee and expenses must be paid). A fee of $150 is charged for the teachers' manuals and computer programs which are available.
