Sharing Teaching Ideas.
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The first section promotes use of student notebooks in mathematics instruction as incentives for pupils to do daily work. Part two looks at a geometric interpretation of the Euclidean algorithm. The final section examines an open box problem that is thought to appear in virtually every elementary calculus book. (MP)
