Peer reviewedGriffiths, H. B. – Mathematics in School, 1972
The author contrasts the tendency of mathematics to refine its internal structure with the tendency of society to become more open and sees the chief task of Mathematical Education as developing curricula which will reconcile the two tendencies. (MM)

Peer reviewedMcLeay, Heather – Mathematics in School, 1991
Described is a way to use knots to relate a three-dimensional object to a two-dimensional representation of the object. The results are used to produce an algorithm or rule to explain a general case. Included are examples, diagrams, procedures, and explanations. (KR)
