Peer reviewedHirsch, Christian R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
A series of activities are presented on worksheets marked off with lattice points (like a geoboard). Students are led to discover and apply Pick's Theorem for finding the area of a polygon whose vertices are lattice points. (JP)

Download full textSandel, Daniel H. – 1971
The discovery method, according to the author, promotes logical thinking, is motivational in nature, makes learning more permanent, produces more usable knowledge, and gets students actively involved. A discovery lesson is characterized by the following: (1) the concept to be learned is not announced, (2) experiences and activities are developed…

Peer reviewedSpitler, Gail; Weinstein, Marian – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
An activity-based unit on congruence and similarity is described. The themes underlying the unit are the usefulness of analogy in determining mathematical principles, and the notion that the number of conditions imposed on figures affects the number of factors which must be specified to insure congruence or similarity. (SD)

Peer reviewedSobel, Max A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
Methods of motivating junior high school students in the study of mathematics includes use of contemporary materials, introducing topics related to history, applications, and recreations, and providing for guessing, laboratory experiences, and discovery. (SD)

Peer reviewedJamski, William – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
Students, using the materials provided, can determine the number of diagonals, number of triangles formed by the diagonals, and degree measures of interior and exterior angles of regular polygons. The activity is designed to lead them to general formulae for polygons with n sides. (SD)
