Hedger, Keith; Kent, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
A square lattice is used to generate classroom activities, such as counting the number of squares in a lattice of a given size. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Learning Activities
Ehrlich, Amos – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described are results obtained by students investigating double-diagrams, including discoveries of properties and accompanying proofs. (MP)
Descriptors: Diagrams, Discovery Learning, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction
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
Robinson, Rosemary – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
The use of dice and dominoes in the classroom is discussed as leading from counting activities to pattern recognition and discovery learning. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction
Johnson, David C. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Four categories of abuses are discussed: calculations, games and puzzles; mystical button pushing; and checking answers. Useful activities are illustrated for the categories of calculations, patterns, exploration, applications, and new content. (MP)

Cohen, Don – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Upper elementary school students created their own algorithms for finding products of whole numbers. The algorithms were similar to familiar ones for finding products involving 9 and 11. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Ehrlich, Amos – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
A problem concerning the generation of an array of numbers is posed. The author examines the use of this problem in several secondary-school and college classes. (SD)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Discovery Learning, Instruction, Learning Activities
Gadge, Margaret W. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Similar rectangles are the basis of a set of activities using newspaper. Topics arising include infinite series and Pythagorean theorem. (MP)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Learning Activities
Clark, Jean – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
A learning activity relating modular arithmetic to patterns of figures determined by points equally spaced around a circle is described. (SD)
