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 reviewedDuncan, David R.; Litwiller, Bonnie H. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
Four answers to a probability problem involving a perceived coincidence are discussed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Diagrams, Learning Activities, Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedLyon, Betty Clayton – Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The relation between the area of a rectangle and its perimeter is clarified by looking at patterns. Several examples involving rectangles with integral sides are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Mathematics Instruction, Measurement, Number Concepts, Pattern Recognition
Peer reviewedCaldwell, Janet – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
An activity that offers computational practice, pattern recognition, and the formulation of generalizations is described. (JT)
Descriptors: Addition, Enrichment Activities, Mathematical Enrichment, Number Concepts
Peer reviewedPauker, Andy – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
Tree diagrams with numbers in a given pattern generate questions related to pattern recognition and number concepts such as binary numbers and exponentials. (MP)
Descriptors: Instruction, Integers, Learning Activities, Number Concepts
Peer reviewedGuckenheimer, Gertrude – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
Three games played with regular bridge decks of cards are described. By playing the games students gain practice in use of basic operations on integers and in the development of strategies. (SD)
Descriptors: Basic Skills, Experiential Learning, Games, Instruction
Peer reviewedMeyer, Ruth Ann; Riley, James E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
This activity is designed to help students recognize and extend rectangular patterns and to use patterning to formulate rules for "nth" cases. Three worksheets are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Learning Activities, Mathematics Instruction, Pattern Recognition
Peer reviewedLandauer, Edwin G. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Curiosities offer an interesting alternative to traditional methods of attacking problems. An illustrative situation is given, with graphical, computer, and analytical methods used to solve the problem. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Computer Software, Graphs, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedMaxfield, Margaret W. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1976
Activities involving estimation of the number of objects in a configuration can motivate students to consider parametric models. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Geometry, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedNaylor, Michael – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Introduces students to nonperiodic tiling and allows them to construct their own sets of kites and darts through a series of explorations, conjectures, and discoveries. (ASK)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometric Constructions, Mathematics Activities, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedAndreasen, Corey – Mathematics Teacher, 1998
Argues that mathematics is, to a large extent, the study of patterns. Presents an activity in which students search for patterns in the Fibonacci sequence and Pascal's Triangle. (ASK)
Descriptors: Mathematics Activities, Mathematics Instruction, Pattern Recognition, Patterns in Mathematics
Peer reviewedEwbank, William A.; Ginther, Jon L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Instruction, Laboratory Procedures
Peer reviewedHartman, Janet – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
Three worksheets for use in studying triangular, square, and pentagonal numbers are presented. (SD)
Descriptors: Instruction, Instructional Materials, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedMacDonald, Theodore H. – Mathematics in School, 1975
Activity questions based on the prime factorization of numbers can be answered by reference to the lattice structure of factors. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Instruction, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedReed, R. – Mathematics in School, 1974
An activity sequence is described. Several aspects of a population problem are developed using isoperimetric graph paper and symmetry principles to derive general rules. (SD)
Descriptors: Graphs, Induction, Learning Activities, Mathematical Models
