Carina Büscher – International Journal of Science and Mathematics Education, 2025
Computational thinking (CT) is becoming increasingly important as a learning content. Subject-integrated approaches aim to develop CT within other subjects like mathematics. The question is how exactly CT can be integrated and learned in mathematics classrooms. In a case study involving 12 sixth-grade learners, CT activities were explored that…

Gencev, Marian; Šalounová, Dana – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2023
The aim of this paper is to present a teaching proposal for the theoretical part relating to the first- and second-order linear difference equations with constant coefficients suitable for the first-year students at various types of universities. In contradistinction to the methods often applied (memorization of algorithms without a proper…

Mathematics Teacher, 1983
The first section promotes use of student notebooks in mathematics instruction as incentives for pupils to do daily work. Part two looks at a geometric interpretation of the Euclidean algorithm. The final section examines an open box problem that is thought to appear in virtually every elementary calculus book. (MP)

Armstrong, Richard; And Others – 1980
This two-volume teacher's guide is to be used with a second-semester, sixth-grade mathematics program. The manner of presentation and the pedagogical ideas and tools are based on the works of Georges and Frederique Papy. They are recognized as having introduced colored arrow drawings ("papygrams") and models of our numeration system (the…

Heidema, Clare; And Others – 1979
This two-volume teacher's guide is to be used with a first-semester, third-grade mathematics program. The program is in large part the outgrowth of involvement with children and was influenced by information gathered in an extended pilot project conducted nationwide during 1975-79. The manner of presentation and the pedagogical ideas and tools are…
