Kuper, Marie; Walter, Marion – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Relationships between the linear dimensions, surface area, and volume of parallelepipeds are examined. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Generalization, Geometry, Instruction
Giles, Geoff; Fielker, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Using the overhead projector, or overlays on an original pattern, a variety of tessellations can be generated. Several illustrations are included. (SD)

Furey, Wendy G. – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
While repairing a sleeping bag, the author observed that the quilt stitching was unicursal. This led to development of a classroom activity relating the stitching patterns of quilts to the highest common factor of the numbers of "bumps" in each direction. (SD)
