An algorithm or decision chart is presented which provides basic decision steps to help management decide what data should be collected to derive valid and correct objectives, and to determine what levels of objectives will be selected relative to products, outputs, or outcomes of an organization.

A generalized method of synthetic division where the divisor polynomial may be of any degree equal to or larger than 1, and the dividend polynomial may be of equal or larger degree than the divisor polynomial and a generalization of the familiar remainder theorem, are presented. (Author/MK)

The Euclidean algorithm for finding the greatest common divisor is presented. (MNS)

Two alternatives are given to the decomposition and equal addition subtraction algorithms. (MK)

An algorithm for multiplying natural numbers is described. The algorithm provides a chance for some unusual drill and might serve as an enrichment topic. (MK)

Suggestions for teaching the concept of division by zero are given. (MK)

The author feels teaching division of fractions is worthwhile because it will help students understand other algorithms. (MK)

The multiplication and division algorithms that are taught in German schools are presented. It is suggested that these algorithms may be better than standard algorithms in terms of development of useful concepts and processes. (MK)

Three short essays provide teaching suggestions for lessons on base two, order of operations, and ratios used to motivate a number of mathematical ideas. (MK)

Some techniques for developing the ability to multiply and divide by powers of ten with ease and understanding are presented. (Author/MK)

Attention is drawn to an ancient Greek method for finding the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers. A link is established between this method and a well-known method of obtaining the highest common factor (HCF) numbers. This leads to consideration of some relationships between HCF and LCM. (Author/MK)

This reprint of a Project Solo curriculum module discusses graphing by computer, gives an example of a BASIC program used to graph a second degree polynomial, and provides suggested exercises in programing. (MK)

An activity is presented which provides a novel approach to number patterns, experience in following an unusual algorithmic procedure, and practice in systematic search techniques and basic facts. (MK)

Variations on a card trick are noted, with a formula for generalizing them. Another trick which can be proved with algebraic principles is then presented. (MNS)

Some insights are provided into techniques for removing the mystery of how calculators evaluate functions. (Author/MK)
