Thorpe, Jim – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
A discussion of what constitutes proof is given. Methods of teaching proof in a more intuitive and informal way than is usually done are suggested. (MK)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Education, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedTrotter, Terrel, Jr.; Myers, Mark D. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
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)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Curriculum
Kennedy, Robert E.; And Others – MATYC Journal, 1980
The authors develop the idea of Niven numbers and discuss their potential usefulness in the classroom. A computer program to generate Niven numbers is provided. (MK)

Peer reviewedMaletsky, Evan M., Ed.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
Mathematical activities suitable for reproduction as worksheets are suggested. These activities are adaptations of the classic tower puzzle and are intended to help students discover patterns, make generalizations, and use the strategy of solving simpler problems in order to solve a more difficult one. (MK)

Peer reviewedHirsch, Christian R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Worksheets for duplication are provided for this activity designed for students in grades 6-10. The objective of the activity is to have students discover generalizations about the patterns formed. (MK)
Descriptors: Activities, Algebra, Generalization, Geometric Concepts
Peer reviewedScheuer, Donald W., Jr.; Williams, David E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1980
Two posters that can be used to provide experience in recognizing patterns in sequences of numbers are provided. Suggested number sequences for different grade levels are given. (MK)
