Peer reviewedJacobson, Marilyn – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
This activity unit provides an example of how the construction and interpretation of graphs can be incorporated into elementary classroom activities. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Concept Formation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedGreen, Dianne M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
An activity unit is described that helps children recognize the inside and outside of closed curves. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometry
Peer reviewedEnman, Virginia – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
A seven-day unit on probability used an experimental game-oriented approach, which allowed students the opportunity to draw conclusions from experiments in which interest was high. (MP)

Peer reviewedLichtenberg, Donovan R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
This article shows how an inexpensive calculator can be used advantageously to determine repeating decimals. Even the decimal representations of numbers, such as one-seventeenth and one-nineteenth, can be easily computed. Many examples are given, and some theoretical discussion is included. (Author/MP)

Peer reviewedWatkins, Ann E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
This activity unit leads students to discover facts related to the maximum area enclosed by figures with given perimeters. Three worksheets are included. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Instruction
Peer reviewedSmith, Susan – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
The objective of this activity is to provide a calculator experience developing and reinforcing the concept of order of operations. Three worksheets are provided that are suitable for reproduction for classroom use. Teacher instructions and answers are provided. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Calculators, Computation, Instruction
Peer reviewedLund, Charles – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
Some practical, hands-on ways in which ideas about geodesic domes can be used in secondary school mathematics are described. Instructions for constructing a one-frequency geodesic sphere are given. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Geometry, Instruction, Learning Activities
Billings, Karen; Moursund, David – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
Chapter two of the book, "Problem Solving with Calculators,"is presented. Topics covered include parts of a problem, steps in problem solving, guessing, and methods of calculation. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Calculators, Computation, Instruction
Peer reviewedWest, Mike; Haar, Ken – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
One student's project involved a contest of guessing how many peanuts were in a 100-pound bag. His teacher briefly reflects on the wide range of guesses and students' concept of large numbers. (MP)

Download full textJohnson, Willis N.; And Others – 1978
This module was prepared to "metricate" approximately 3800 teachers in Western Kentucky. A brief history of measurement systems is followed by sections concerning length, mass (weight), temperature, and area and volume measurement. Each section contains a list of the common metric units used and their relationship as well as activities…
