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 reviewedYates, Daniel S. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
An activity similar to magic squares is described. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Learning Activities
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)
Descriptors: Instruction, Integers, Learning Activities, Number Concepts
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
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 reviewedMilton, K. G. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1975
Activities suitable for use with primary school students are described. The author offers advice concerning expectations of the students, use of the vocabulary of probability, integration of activities with other classroom work, and related topics. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Discovery Learning, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
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)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Geometry, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedCowan, Richard A. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
Having students find and cut out of graph paper the 12 pentominoes can provide an enjoyable exercise in perception, discovery, and double checking. The pentominoes can then be used to illustrate informally several geometric concepts. (SD)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometry
Peer reviewedEwbank, William A.; Ginther, Jon L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedHartman, Janet – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
Three worksheets for use in studying triangular, square, and pentagonal numbers are presented. (SD)
