A classroom activity in which numbers are assigned to words on the basis of geometric configuration of the letters is described. (SD)

Students in grades 4, 6, and 8 were interviewed using whole-number division problems, some involving division of zero by a positive whole number and some involving division by zero. Results and classroom implications are discussed. (SD)

Suggestions for using handheld calculators are given. Students can invent and check their own problems. The calculator can debug problems, provide practice, aid in developing concepts of place value, decimals, order of operations, powers of a number, and evaluation of formulas. (KM)

In this article, a continuation of SE 513 148, the author presents seven additional applications of group theory to high school mathematics. These applications can be used, not only to illustrate the group concept, but also to extend the development of ideas in the high school curriculum. (SD)

After a brief discussion of Pascal's triangle and description of four methods of hand construction, the author provides FORTRAN and BASIC programs for computer construction based on recursive definition. (SD)

A method for generating Pythagorean triples is presented and demonstrated with several examples. Its relationship to another method is shown and several interesting related facts are proven. (LS)

A chart is described which gives children an opportunity to discover prime and composite numbers and which leads to discussions of the associative and commutative laws, multiplication by 1, and powers and exponents. (DT)

A workshop on the use of Cuisenaire rods with learning disabled children was held for 300 participants and included a demonstration-lecture, a discussion, and a question-and-answer period. (DB)

Activities used in a British infant school are described, as well as methods for teaching mathematics to young children. The influence of the Nuffield Project on mathematics instruction is also discussed. (JP)
