Cuoco, Al; And Others – Journal of Mathematical Behavior, 1996
Describes the habits of mind that would be most desirable for students to develop. In high school for example, content-specific habits would include geometric habits of mind that support the mathematical approaches, and algebraic ways of thinking that complement the geometric approaches. (AIM)

Laing, David R.; White, Arthur T. – Mathematics Teacher, 1991
The geometry problems of finding rectangles that have numerically equal areas and perimeters knowing when the plane can be tessellated by congruent regular polygons are connected by the equation: m = 2n/(n-2). Three graphic approaches to the solution of the problem when m and n are integers are discussed. (MDH)

Dick, Thomas P. – School Science and Mathematics, 1992
Explores the role that symbolic-graphical calculators can play in the current calls for reform in the mathematics curriculum. Discusses symbolic calculators and graphing calculators in relation to problem solving, computational skills, and mathematics instruction. (MDH)
