Mathematics Teacher, 1982
The following ideas are shared: (1) a low-stress subtraction algorithm that eliminates the traditional borrowing process, and (2) an approach to graphing circular functions that looks at the process of modifying simple functions as a series of shifting, sliding, and stretching adjustments, with its biggest advantage viewed as its generality.

Silvia, Evelyn M. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
How graph paper has been used to illustrate the algorithm for division of fractions is presented. The combined use of graph paper and an overhead projector can make the presentation even more convincing. A review of whole number division is recommended prior to the lesson. (MP)
