Peer reviewedMathematics Teacher, 1982
The following ideas are shared: (1) a low-stress subtraction algorithm that eliminates the traditional borrowing process, and (2) an approach to graphing circular functions that looks at the process of modifying simple functions as a series of shifting, sliding, and stretching adjustments, with its biggest advantage viewed as its generality.

Peer reviewedWirth, James F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
An approach to solving equations is presented. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Curriculum, Instruction
Peer reviewedMathematics 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)

Peer reviewedDavies, H. B. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
Attention is drawn to an ancient Greek method for finding the least common multiple (LCM) of two numbers. A link is established between this method and a well-known method of obtaining the highest common factor (HCF) numbers. This leads to consideration of some relationships between HCF and LCM.

Peer reviewedDupee, B.; Martinez, Raquel; Tapia, Santiago – International Journal of Computer Algebra in Mathematics Education, 1999
Describes a prototype package that uses algorithms created within the symbolic algebra system Axiom, numerical routines from the NAG Libraries together with the easy-to-use facilities of modern graphical interfaces. Considers the implementation of different techniques, both symbolic and numeric, for the analysis and calculation of interpolating…
