Direct linkGibson, David – Mathematics Teaching, 2011
In the September 2010 issue of "Mathematics Teaching," Tom O'Brien offered practical advice about how to teach addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division and contrasted his point of view with that of H.H. Wu. In this article, the author revisits Tom's examples, drawing on his methodology while, hopefully, simplifying it and giving it…

Furey, Wendy G. – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
While repairing a sleeping bag, the author observed that the quilt stitching was unicursal. This led to development of a classroom activity relating the stitching patterns of quilts to the highest common factor of the numbers of "bumps" in each direction. (SD)
