Hedger, Keith; Kent, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
A square lattice is used to generate classroom activities, such as counting the number of squares in a lattice of a given size. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedChilcote, Elinor; And Others – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Games and activities, which are fun, practical, and related to the child's world, are presented. Suggestions are given for building skills in estimating lengths, guessing how many, recognizing patterns in counting, multiplying with "waffles," classifying by attributes, and adding and subtracting with special cards, relays, and play…

Ehrlich, Amos – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described are results obtained by students investigating double-diagrams, including discoveries of properties and accompanying proofs. (MP)
Descriptors: Diagrams, Discovery Learning, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction
Kuper, Marie; Walter, Marion – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Relationships between the linear dimensions, surface area, and volume of parallelepipeds are examined. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Generalization, Geometry, Instruction
Peer reviewedPauker, Andy – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
Tree diagrams with numbers in a given pattern generate questions related to pattern recognition and number concepts such as binary numbers and exponentials. (MP)

Peer reviewedLott, Johnny W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Magic squares are developed beginning with square arrays of playing cards. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Games, Instruction
Peer reviewedGuckenheimer, Gertrude – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
Three games played with regular bridge decks of cards are described. By playing the games students gain practice in use of basic operations on integers and in the development of strategies. (SD)

Cohen, Don – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Upper elementary school students created their own algorithms for finding products of whole numbers. The algorithms were similar to familiar ones for finding products involving 9 and 11. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Ehrlich, Amos – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
A problem concerning the generation of an array of numbers is posed. The author examines the use of this problem in several secondary-school and college classes. (SD)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Discovery Learning, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedMaxfield, Margaret W. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1976
Activities involving estimation of the number of objects in a configuration can motivate students to consider parametric models. (SD)
