Austin, A. K. – Mathematics Teaching, 1973
Descriptors: Deduction, Instruction, Logic, Logical Thinking
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
Mathematics Teaching, 1977
Procedures using calculators are described for determining the recurring sequence of digits in the decimal representation of numbers of the form 1/n. (MN)
Descriptors: Computation, Decimal Fractions, Elementary Secondary Education, Fractions
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
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
Robinson, Rosemary – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
The use of dice and dominoes in the classroom is discussed as leading from counting activities to pattern recognition and discovery learning. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction
Johnson, David C. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Four categories of abuses are discussed: calculations, games and puzzles; mystical button pushing; and checking answers. Useful activities are illustrated for the categories of calculations, patterns, exploration, applications, and new content. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Elementary Secondary Education, Games
Giles, Geoff; Fielker, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Using the overhead projector, or overlays on an original pattern, a variety of tessellations can be generated. Several illustrations are included. (SD)
Descriptors: Educational Media, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction
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
Gadge, Margaret W. – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Similar rectangles are the basis of a set of activities using newspaper. Topics arising include infinite series and Pythagorean theorem. (MP)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Learning Activities
Weinstein, Marian – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Use of graphs in studying greatest common divisors, least common multiples, and other concepts can illustrate patterns related to the definitions of these concepts. (SD)
Descriptors: Graphs, Instruction, Laboratory Procedures, Mathematics Education
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
