Becker, Jerry P.; Hsi, Kathy C. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
The history and current status of national mathematics olympiad competitions in China are discussed. Selected problems and answers from recent tests are included. (MP)
Descriptors: Answer Keys, Competition, Evaluation, Mathematics History

Blake, Rick N. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The author uses Stella the Spider as the main character in a number of three-dimensional geometry problems. Eight of these problems are discussed, with solutions. (MNS)
Descriptors: Answer Keys, Geometric Concepts, Mathematics Instruction, Problem Sets

Rubenstein, Rheta N. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The estimation strategies of "using compatible numbers,""averaging," and "rounding" are used. The first two worksheets review easy arithmetic facts and ask students to identify compatible numbers. Worksheet Three introduces averaging and provides practice with rounding, while the fourth worksheet contains problems for group practice. (MNS)

Dahlke, Richard; Fakler, Robert – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
Geometrical probability deals with probability on infinite sample spaces where each outcome of an experiment is equally likely to occur. Geometry which identifies sample space regions and event subregions leads to a method of finding a desired probability. A collection of problems with solutions is presented. (MP)
