Elementary computer loan program. John H. Bayne Elementary School in Capitol Heights, Maryland, has implemented a program in which students can check out a computer for use at home. The three-component computer-literacy program is financed by a donation from Prescription Learning, an instructional firm in Springfield, Illinois. The program's components consist of computer literacy for kindergarten through second-grade students, skill reinforcement for students in grades four and six as a follow-up to reading and mathematics programs, and computer use at home for students in grades three and five. In the at-home component, students use the computers from four to six weeks. For more information contact Joyce Thomas, Principal, John H. Bayne Elementary School, 7010 Walker Mill Road, Capitol Heights, MD 20743 (301/336-1200).

Family math. The EQUALS staff at the Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, has developed a program of classes to involve parents in their children's future schooling and jobs. Information about careers and the importance of mathematics to future jobs and schooling is woven throughout the classes. Mathematics topics are drawn from measurement, probability and statistics, patterns and functions, geometry, arithmetic, and logical thinking, and activities are designed to supplement the classroom curriculum. Classes are given for specific grade levels, spanning kindergarten through general mathematics. A hands-on approach, used with emphases on problem solving and the enjoyment of mathematics, includes instructions for use at home. FAMILY MATH is funded by the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education. A dissemination workshop will train new leaders in the fall of 1984. For further information contact Virginia Thompson and Ruth Cossey, c/o EQUALS, Lawrence Hall of Science, University of California, Berkeley, CA 94720.

Fractions in the mathematics curriculum is the subject of a position paper developed by a group of mathematics educators in Minnesota. Because of poor results in the topic of fractions on assessment programs, the participants recommended, among other things, that the teaching of the algorithms of operations with fractions be postponed until grades 7 and 8. They also emphasize the use of manipulatives in the development of concepts dealing with fractions. The paper was the result of a weekend conference cosponsored by the Minnesota Council of Teachers of Mathematics and the Minnesota State Department of Education. For additional information, contact Helen Kock, MCTM Executive Secretary, MECC, 2520 Broadway Drive, St. Paul, MN 55113.
