Teachers who state lesson plan topics in the form of a problem, who state objectives in terms of specific skill performances expected, and who construct test questions to assess the skills involved are taking important steps towards maximizing their success as inquiry teachers. (Author)

Article stresses the skills gained in problem-solving over mere information transmission in the classroom. (GB)

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)

Discussed are the nature of a mathematical problem, problem solving in the traditional and modern mathematics programs, problem solving and psychology, research related to problem solving, and teaching problem solving in algebra and geometry. (CT)

Describes an approach which teachers might use to cultivate effective problem-solving behaviors. (Author)

The simulation technique for preparing prospective home economics teachers uses real-life teaching situations that students create, enact, and analyze. This report concludes that the technique can be used even at a small college with limited resources. (Editor)

Presents two equivalent forms of the Pythagorean theorem, and a form for finding the area of a right triangle. (RP)
