Worksheets utilize a paper geoboard to provide a variety of experiences with basic geometric concepts. (JP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning, Geometric Concepts

Schloff, Charles E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1972
Activities are described that involve polyhedrons constructed with a marble inside enabling them to roll across a smooth surface. Directions are given for constructing such a tetrahedron. (DT)
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning, Geometry, Instruction

Bruni, James V.; Silverman, Helene – Arithmetic Teacher, 1976
A series of activities involving comparing weights of objects directly, using non-standard units, using standard units, using simple scales, and using complex scales are described. (SD)

Bitter, Gary G.; Mikesell, Jerald L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
A mathematics laboratory with commercial and teacher-made materials, a workshop, and a discussion room were established. An extension course taught how to use the instructional aids and accompanying behavioral objectives and activity cards. Active use of the lab is increasing. The teachers' enthusiasm has spread to the students. (KM)

Bruni, James V.; Silverman, Helene – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Directions are given for activities designed to help children realize that linear measurement is continuous, that it involves the repeated use of a unit in the same way each time, and that measurement is approximate. Non-standard units as well as standard units are included. (DT)
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Experiential Learning, Instruction, Laboratory Procedures

Bruni, James V.; Silverman, Helene – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Activities involving graphing are described. Beginning with arranging objects in linear arrays, the authors outline a sequence of activities leading up to graphing of grouped data, and circular graphs. (SD)
