Wirtz, Robert – 1979
This position paper is an extension of a presentation delivered to the National Council of Supervisors of Mathematics and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics at their annual meetings in San Diego, 1978. Four limits in test design are discussed: focus on low-level skills, general adherence to randomness, filling in blanks, and right…

Strangman, Kathryn Besic – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Ways of finding the sums of some interesting sequences of numbers are discussed. Finding the patterns creates a challenge, but the patterns are not too difficult for average pupils to discover. Mathematical induction can then be used to prove the formulas. (LS)

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
Kuper, Marie; Walter, Marion – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Relationships between the linear dimensions, surface area, and volume of parallelepipeds are examined. (SD)

Descriptors: Algorithms, Elementary School Mathematics, Induction, 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)
