Family Enrichment Programs are viewed as vehicles for training, practice and research, with their main focus being improved communication on both cognitive and affective levels. (Author)

This report represents a survey of some of the school mathematics contests which are conducted in the United States. The report is based on information obtained from fifty-nine national, state, regional, and local level contests. National contests are described separately. Brief accounts of certain school mathematics contests, the extent of such…

The author presents a practical, workable framework for teaching dance in the classroom. This book, essentially designed for the nonspecialist teacher, is a compilation of ideas and materials that have evolved over twenty years of teaching music and movement to children in nursery and elementary schools and of introducing concepts of dance to…

Using a computer as a data source for a complex, open-ended problem, it was found that individuals approached problem solving differently than do pairs, and that the ability of the subjects determined the type of data requested, and how long it was processed. (JD)

Describes the U procedure, a seven-step model that facilitates management problem solving. Explains how this model was taught to farmers, with small groups assigned to solve class members' actual farm management problems. (CH)

Teachers can help students become better problem solvers when they introduce several problem solving strategies. Activities for classroom use are offered. (DF)

The open-approach teaching method, a problem-solving method, is described, with examples of situations and problems that are suitable for this approach. The teaching-learning process and educational implications are discussed. (MNS)

The probability of selecting two matching socks is discussed. (MNS)

How set theory, combinatorics, probability, and the study of algorithms can be used in solving two problems is described in detail. Three computer programs are listed. (MNS)

A letter from a parent about a homework assignment involving much repetition (and time) is used as the vehicle to discuss the problem. (MNS)

This paper describes research into the framework of Computer Analysis Relationship (CAR) and its methodology together with software such as Scientific Notebook in a teaching and learning problem-solving environment to support student investigation as well as to enhance student logical thinking. CAR aims to motivate students how to subdivide a…

Auto ramps are the focus of this design and mass-production exercise. (Editor)

Presents a problem in standing waves that provides an example of the mathematics used by theoretical physicists to generate predictions of new phenomena from fundamental background knowledge. Mathematical analysis required to solve problem is accomplished by simple graphical processes. (BR)

Clarifies the basic relationships between review and drill and, by analyzing a sample review lesson in world history, illustrates their effective use. (JES)
