Grimmett, John – Mathematics in School, 1980
In part 2, several surveying activities are suggested. The first, a radial survey, combines activities for dealing with length and angles previously mentioned in part one. The second suggested survey is an offset survey; needed implements and procedures are described. Two types of triangulation and a plane table survey are also discussed. (MK)

Duffin, Janet; And Others – Mathematics in School, 1984
Descriptions are given of how groups aged 7, 10, and 13 tackled the problem of how many squares are on a chessboard. Teachers noted that often the less able children were the ones with ideas, whereas the able ones became impatient and were unwilling to go on trying. (MNS)
