Peer reviewedComella, James J.; Watson, James D. – Mathematics Teacher, 1977
The problem of determining the number of squares having vertices at pegs on geoboard is considered. (DT)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Instruction, Learning Activities, Secondary Education
Peer reviewedOlson, Melfried; Aichele, Douglas B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
This activity involved constructing parallelograms on the sides of an arbitrary triangle and discovering a relationship between the areas of the parallelograms. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Elementary Secondary Education, Geometry, Instruction
Peer reviewedCarmony, Lowell – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
A situation is presented that is intended to lead to open-ended mathematical discussions that allow students to conjecture, discover, and prove mathematical statements. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Instruction, Learning Activities, Mathematics
Peer reviewedPugliese, Anthony C. – Science Teacher, 1973
A comparison of three methods used in teaching science with a discussion of the meaning of these terms and the psychological assumptions which are used to justify them. (DF)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Discovery Learning, Inquiry, Instruction
Peer reviewedSchwandt, Alice Kaseberg – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
This discussion of ways to use spirolaterals in the classroom includes making conjectures, hypotheses testing, and proofs, as well as a number of examples. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Graphs, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedManheim, Jerome H. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
A systematic search is given for products where reversing the digits does not change the answer. Related questions are suggested that can be solved by the same discovery approach. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Instruction, Learning Activities, Multiplication
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 reviewedYoung, Courtney D., Jr. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
Allowing students to discover a winning strategy for this game is suggested as a way to introduce modular arithmetic. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Programs, Discovery Learning, Games
Weaver, J. F. – 1977
The calculator is used to explore the distributive property of a unary operator over a binary operator. This is an extension of an earlier paper. The emphasis is on student discovery of the property for various combinations of the operators. Instructional material contained in the report include a reference sheet of questions for potential…
Descriptors: Algorithms, Calculators, Computation, Discovery Learning
Peer reviewedWatkins, Ann E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
This activity unit leads students to discover facts related to the maximum area enclosed by figures with given perimeters. Three worksheets are included. (MP)
Descriptors: Activity Units, Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Instruction
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
Peer reviewedMark, S. J.; Salstrom, D. – Science Education, 1972
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Educational Games, Elementary School Science, Grade 6
Peer reviewedDiDomenico, Angelo S. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
An activity leading to the discovery of a property of primes is suggested for encouraging algebra students to make nontrivial conjectures. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Discovery Learning, Instruction, Learning Activities
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
Weaver, J. F. – 1977
Investigating properties and characteristics of unary operations is shown to be facilitated by using calculators. Several avenues for instructional exploration are suggested and examples given. These include questions relating to relations, inverses, commutativity, distributivity, and iterations. A discussion of the calculator algorithm for…
