University of the South Pacific, Suva (Fiji). – 1976
This pamphlet introduces the student to the basic ideas and procedures of transformational geometry through a series of worksheets. After developing intuitively the idea of rigid motion, vector diagrams are introduced, and translations are discussed in some detail. (SD)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education

Aviv, Cherie Adler – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
These worksheets deal with sums of numbers. Students are asked to find the relationship between the last number in the series, the number of addends, and the sum. (MP)
