Peer reviewedBeamer, James E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A unit on the peoperties of a kite can include many geometric concepts: symmetry, distance, relationships between diagonals, area, altitude, angles, and others. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Geometric Concepts, Geometry
Peer reviewedLepowsky, William L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The similarity between two apparently dissimilar problems is explored. Pascal's triangle is involved. (SD)
Descriptors: Instruction, Mathematical Models, Mathematics, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedMorris, Janet P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1977
A series of lessons in which the concept of symmetry is informally developed is described. Rotational and reflection symmetries are examined. Pictures and sample worksheets illustrate the article. (SD)
