Willcutt, Bob – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Multibase arithmetic blocks are used to investigate the minimum number of blocks of each size to make a square of a given size in a given base. Generalizations are made to any size and any base through pattern recognition. The problem is extended to rectangles, cubes, and rectangular solids. (LS)

Weaver, Cloman – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Details of an investigation into polygonal numbers are given. From a study of the tabled series, patterns are discovered both within and between the various polygonal series. From a study of these results and the corresponding figures, formulas are developed. (LS)

Bennett, Richard – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Students examined patterns emerging when numbers placed at vertices in a braided pattern were summed. (SD)
