Stewart, Ian – Scientific American, 2000
Teaching mathematics with games and puzzles goes back in history. Presents an example with the set theory game called Subset Takeaway in which two players can play. Creates a geometric representation of Subset Takeaway starting with a triangle and going to a three-dimensional simplex. Illustrates the winning strategy in the game and features a…

Richards, William D., Jr. – 1975
Network Analysis is an observational system focusing on the relationships of individuals within a system--their subgroups, their leaders, and the frequency of their communications. The strength of relationships can be measured by examining the incidence and duration of intercommunications. Using data accumulated by questioning each member of the…

Martin, J. Larry – 1973
A test was designed to measure whether or not the child's conceptualization of space would demand that two topological properties of figures (connectedness, and openness and closedness) remain invariant when the figures were subjected to transformations. Ninety children, 30 from each of ages four, six, and eight, were tested. Six items were given…
