Peer reviewedMoore, Charles G. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
A series of problems involving number theory, the law of cosines, and geometric interpretations of solutions to equations is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction
Peer reviewedFrancis, Richard L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The author observes that checking the closure property is redundant for most number systems and therefore hard for students to understand. He defines several systems which are not closed, develops two concepts related to closure, and provides many related examples. (SD)

Peer reviewedWebb, Leland F. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Rational points in the plane were defined as points having both coordinated rational. Students solved several problems linking rational points with lines, circles, and other geometric figures. (SD)

Peer reviewedRonau, Robert N. – Mathematics Teacher, 1988
Suggests that good number sense is fundamental for success in estimation, approximation, and problem solving. Further, large-number concepts are appropriate for development in upper elementary school, high school, and beyond. Presents examples to enhance a sense of large numbers in middle and high school students. (PK)
