One article specifies the materials needed and the rules for a card game called Integer Football; a second article describes a technique for teaching measurement conversions through using nonsense units. (DT)

Suggests and discusses several strategies for helping students become better problem solvers. (PK)

Directions are given for a game providing practice with multiplication combinations and for a game involving counting and number combinations. (DT)

Describes three classroom games for elementary school mathematics. Two are geoboard activities using a coordinate system; the third combines a knowledge of number facts with a game of tag. (RS)

Teachers should consider using strategy games to introduce students to problem solving in an enjoyable way. Advantages of games, criteria, games and variations to use, and classroom organization are each discussed. (MNS)

Several games involving both motor behavior and practice with mathematical skills are described. These include adaptations of musical chairs (subtraction), call ball (multiplication), and ring toss (linear measurement); other games are designed to provide practice on identifying numerals, telling time, using money, and naming fractions. (SD)

Three geometry games are presented. For each game, the game itself and the instructional objectives are discussed. (PK)

Describes origami, the oriental art of paper folding as an activity to teach upper elementary students concepts and skills in geometry involving polygons, angles, measurement, symmetry, and congruence. (PK)

Contains activities for grades 1 through 8 to develop skills in estimation. Designed to help students deal with numbers sensibly and acquire problem solving competency, the estimation activities involve measurement, telling time, computation, and problem solving. (PK)

Two alternative representations for the concept of common multiples are presented. These representations can be modeled on or off the computer. (PK)

Describes an activity that demonstrates a teaching-learning model in which students ask yes or no questions to determine an unknown number on a number line. Provides a sequence of five steps to carry out the activity and suggestions for extending and expanding the activity for different grade levels. (MDH)

A thematic approach to curriculum enables students to connect topics and supports meaningful inquiry. Presents 4 activities for levels K-2, 3-4, 5-6, and 7-8 in which students explore problems of interest to them involving the theme of construction and architecture. Includes reproducible worksheets.
