How set theory, combinatorics, probability, and the study of algorithms can be used in solving two problems is described in detail. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

Guidelines for the integration of effective and efficient practice into the lecture format of higher education curricula are outlined and discussed. An algorithm for incorporating active learning into lecture courses is provided, with examples and discussion of possible constraints. (four references) (EA)

Describes a pilot project for MATLAB work in both information communication technology (ICT) and mathematics. The ICT work is on flowcharts and algorithms and discusses ways of communicating with computers. Mathematics lessons involve early algebraic ideas of variables representing numbers. Presents an activity involving number sequences. (KHR)

Use of the hand-dialed, transparent, nonelectronic SEE-Calculator is proposed. Pupils can dial numbers into appropriate columns, watching the gears work; place-value concepts are enhanced. Both activities and flowcharting are suggested. (MNS)
