Knights, George – Mathematics Teaching, 1973
Different methods of subtracting are described; the equal additions and the decomposition methods are discussed in detail. (DT)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Mathematics Education
Jeffery, Bob – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
This investigation concerns the repeated application of the rule "take the sum of the squares of the digits." (MP)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary Secondary Education, Instruction, Mathematics
Brown, Stephen I. – Mathematics Teaching, 1974
The author advocates the classroom consideration of new algorithms as a means of leading students to make original hypotheses. He discusses a multiplication algorithm based on the differences between squares. (SD)

Davies, H. B. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described is a case in which a young student stumbles upon the "integer" technique for subtraction which differs from the techniques of decomposition and equal addition. (MN)

Howse, Joseph – Mathematics Teaching, 1973
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computation, Diagrams, History
Thomas, F. H. – Mathematics Teaching, 1974
With the advent of computers and electronic calculators, the role of logarithms in the curriculum is changing. An intuitive approach to logarithms, stressing the notion of isomorphism, is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Curriculum, Educational Change
Morley, Arthur – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described are two methods of calculating developed by the Dutch WISKOBAS Project: addition and subtraction with a loop abacus and multiplication using a grid model. (MP)

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
Curtis, Timothy P. – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Upper-level secondary students investigated square and triangular numbers and Pythagorean triples using computers. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Computer Oriented Programs, Computers, Curriculum
Hart, Maurice – Mathematics Teaching, 1977
The aim of this article is to identify the natural relationships that exist between using computer programming in BASIC, and some particular mathematical concepts. Specific examples are given for use by the mathematics teacher who has the necessary facilities available. (MN)

Renwick, E. M. – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
These three brief articles concern problems students encounter in solving simple linear equations, children's conceptions of number, and the distinction between adding objects and adding numbers as illustrated by students' problems with Euler's formula. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education
Cohen, Donald – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
The observations of a fifth-grade student concerning number patterns are recorded and discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Basic Skills, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Kent, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
A method is described for working multiplication problems by counting on fingers. (DT)
