Adamson, Beryl – Mathematics in School, 1978
An analysis of the rabbit problem reveals some of the fascinating properties of the Fibonacci numbers. (MP)
Descriptors: Instruction, Learning, Mathematics, Mathematics Education

Lott, Johnny A.; Nguyen, Hien Q. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
A geoboard-related extremal problem dealing with both concave and convex polygons is discussed and a proof is given of the solution. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Geometry, Instruction, Mathematics

Posamentier, Alfred S. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
A method of summing finite sequences by use of formal power series techniques is described. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Curriculum, Induction, Instruction

Hosford, Philip L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The author shows how a rapid computational "trick" can lead to an investigation of Fibonacci-type sequences. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Generalization, Induction, Instruction

Millington, W. – Mathematics in School, 1977
Designs and arrangements of pentominoes are examined. (SD)

An algebraic development of the Fibonnaci sequence, appropriate for use in beginning algebra classes, is presented. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Instruction, Mathematics, Mathematics Education
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
Albrecht, Bob – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
Number patterns obtained by squaring numbers in a sequence are discussed. A BASIC program for use with TRS-80 is given. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Programs, Computers, Instruction, Pattern Recognition
Thomas, F. H. – Mathematics Teaching, 1974
With the advent of computers and electronic calculators, the role of logarithms in the curriculum is changing. An intuitive approach to logarithms, stressing the notion of isomorphism, is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Curriculum, Educational Change

Mathematics Teacher, 1977
A familiar Christmas song described as a second-year algebra problem is presented in "The Twelve Days of Christmas". Five strategies for solving inequalities are discussed in "Solving Algebraic Inequalities". (JT)
Descriptors: Algebra, Inequalities, Instruction, Mathematics

Williams, J. L. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1976
This paper discusses ways of discussing limits in the secondary classroom. Particular attention is paid to showing that hypothesized answers are not limits to given sequences. (SD)
Descriptors: Calculus, College Mathematics, Curriculum, Instruction

Pauker, 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
Giles, Geoff; Fielker, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Using the overhead projector, or overlays on an original pattern, a variety of tessellations can be generated. Several illustrations are included. (SD)
Descriptors: Educational Media, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction

Guckenheimer, 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

Sgroi, James T. – Mathematics Teacher, 1977
Patterns that appear in the repeating digits of a decimal are used to help convince students that any infinite repeating decimal can be written in the form of a rational number. (JT)
