Described are patterns in Pascal's triangle which are obtained when the entries are reduced modulo a prime number. (MM)

Patterns in modular arithmetic are discussed: (1) multiplication tables, and (2) diagrams obtained by joining points on the circumference of a circle. (MM)

Describes an activity whose objectives are to encode and decode messages using linear functions and their inverses; to use modular arithmetic, including use of the reciprocal for simple equation solving; to analyze patterns and make and test conjectures; to communicate procedures and algorithms; and to use problem-solving strategies. (ASK)

Presents a brief definition and examples of residue designs while sharing some of the algebraic thought that a student used to form generalizations about the patterns discovered during the investigations of residue designs. (ASK)

An activity for grades 6-10 designed to allow students to explore a hundred chart to discover patterns is presented. Discussed are materials, objectives, and procedures. Three worksheets with answers are provided, and an extension activity is suggested. (CW)

This document contains the revisions to the 5-8 Mathematics curriculum produced for Manitoba (Canada) teachers. It contains an introduction and seven content sections: Problem Solving, Algebra, Data Management, Geometry, Measurement, Number Concepts, and Number Operations.

The National Science Foundation funded Calculators and Mathematics Project, Los Angeles (CAMP-LA) developed curriculum materials focused solely on the use of calculators. The project was developed in three stages. The first stage studied the mathematics curriculums from different states and identified topics that are not included but should be if…
