Hadar, Nitsa – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
Suggestions for teaching the concept of division by zero are given. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Division, Elementary Secondary Education, Mathematical Concepts
Mathematics Teaching, 1980
Four different types of problems from graph theory are presented and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Graphs, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications
Cohen, Don – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Upper elementary school students created their own algorithms for finding products of whole numbers. The algorithms were similar to familiar ones for finding products involving 9 and 11. (SD)

Brown, Stephen I. – Mathematics Teaching, 1981
A one-to-one teaching session with a student is described and analyzed in an attempt to communicate how student attempts at discovery in mathematics can be thwarted by teachers who do not allow room for creativity. (MP)
