Explains a discovery activity using the possible positions of the faces of a cube when represented in two dimensions. Suggests rules which would determine which of the edges would connect if the drawing were folded to form the cube. (RS)

Described are features of a methods course in elementary school mathematics at Colorado State College. An essential purpose of the course is to orient the prospective teacher to the utilization of discovery processes in classroom learning situations. (RP)

In the situation described, the withholding of immediate reinforcement led a student to verify his method, and thus led to greater confidence and motivation. (SD)

Highlights combinatorial problems appropriate for students aged 4 to 12 years that utilize manipulatives in a hands-on approach. Examines and identifies students' strategies and self-monitoring techniques that produce effective problem solving. (MDH)

Describes an activity that demonstrates a teaching-learning model in which students ask yes or no questions to determine an unknown number on a number line. Provides a sequence of five steps to carry out the activity and suggestions for extending and expanding the activity for different grade levels. (MDH)

Discusses how a single problem can be utilized to discuss mathematical skills and concepts at several different levels. Presents a problem involving fractions examined at the following four levels according to the abilities of the students: (1) finding solutions; (2) identifying methods for finding solutions; (3) exploring similar examples; and…
