Examples of activities involving geometric construction are suggested for discovery-oriented instruction. (SD)

Outlines a guided discovery activity for ascertaining the conditions which allow for the correct tracing of networks. (JP)

The author advocates a return to the teaching of logic in the public schools. Methods of lessening student difficulties in learning are highlighted and current school projects are discussed. (MP)

After noting that accurate calculation is not the only reason for teaching arithmetic, innovative activities providing practice with basic facts, pattern spotting,'' and exploration are presented. (MS)

The Concept Game, which focuses on the attributes of parity, balance, majority, closure, and skip of seven-digit binary numbers, is described. Originally written as a computer program, the game is modified so that pupils can play with construction paper chips of just paper and pencil. (MP)

Cones as containers and envelopes are discussed with appropriate activities for middle grade children provided. (MP)

Discusses six examples that discover supplementary geometry theorems by using three elementary theorems about the relationships between angles and intercepted arcs in circles. Topics in the examples include angles formed by parallel lines and the sum of the interior angles of triangles, convex quadrilaterals, star polygons, and hexagons. (MDH)

Four specific problems are presented, discussed, and extended to illustrate how diverse instructional strategies, materials, and resources can be used to develop problem-solving skills. (MP)

Learning activities based on a geometrical puzzle that consists of rearranging triangles and trapezoids are used to teach concepts involving area. (MP)

Number sequences are useful complements to traditional drill and practice. Described is an activity in which the basic rule, add the tens digit to five times the ones digit, is used to generate a sequence of numbers. The dialogue between teacher and student discussing characteristics of emerging patterns is given. (MDH)

The use of clock arithmetic patterns to make geometric patterns is presented as a tool to instruct students in the understanding of multiples in different systems. (MP)

Presents three investigations that extend the problem of counting the number of squares on a grid in two dimensions to an analogous problem of counting the number of cubes in a three-dimensional cubic array. (MDH)

Presented is the solution to the problem of calculating the probability of winning or losing a game played by moving a counter from the center of a hexagonal grid according to the number shown after the toss of a die. The exercise is an example of an interesting mathematical investigation. (MDH)

This activity book was designed especially for the classroom teacher who is constantly on the lookout for unique and interesting ways to challenge the students' learning capacity in the area of elementary mathematics. The material presented here places a strong emphasis on defining the particular skills to be covered in each activity. All the…
