Stephens, Max – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1977
Criticisms of the printed medium of instruction are made with the implication that a system which relies upon one medium of instruction is unlikely to provide either the kind of resource or the answers a teacher needs. (MN)

Bell, A. W. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
A scheme for diagnostic teaching is discussed, and aspects of the approach are illustrated from three teaching experiments. Instruction that aims towards free and relaxed discussion of single points of difficulty or conflicts and towards pupils seeking to learn how a particular system works is promoted. (MP)

Bell, A. W. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
Students' misconceptions in mathematics and how teaching may be directed to diagnose and eliminate these misconceptions are discussed. Four main types of misconceptions during problem-solving are noted. It is also noted that the basic mathematical processes of generalizing, representing, and explaining are used in selected student self-help…

Mottershead, Lorraine – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
A series of worksheets dealing with the Morse Code are presented. The material incorporates vocabulary knowledge, substitution, and patterns, and is viewed suitable for any student. The initial activities are followed by three optional challenges. Pupils can develop a basis for reflecting on mathematical symbols and words. (MP)

Wheeler, David – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1982
Mathematics teachers are seen working in a context affected by three major revolutions. The first, mass secondary education, has been dealt with. The second, technological revolution, is taking place. The third, humanizing mathematics, is viewed as heaving into sight, and seen as possibly a greater upheaval than the others. (Author/MP)
