Pedersen, Jean J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The use of paper folding to study properties of geometric solids is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction
Hope, Cyril; Rothery, Andrew – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Suggestions are provided for activities involving the construction of mathematical models to solve "real-life" problems. (SD)

Burrell, K.; And Others – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Students were given practical tests in which they performed mathematical tasks, and written tests covering the same material. In general students scored higher on the practical test than the written test, and there were interaction effects with the order in which the tests were given and with verbal reasoning. (SD)

Sloyer, Clifford W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The inequality involving the arithmetic and geometric means is a powerful tool in dealing with applications of mathematics. It is very important in geometric programming. The article discusses this inequality and demonstrates two real world applications accessible to secondary teachers and students. (Author/KM)

Sachs, J. M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
The author observes that the predictor functions determined geometrically by Ranucci (EJ 090 184) can be algebraically derived, and that capable students might enjoy verifying them. Algebraic formulations and derivations are provided. (SD)

Ehrlich, Amos – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
After describing desirable characteristics of a student's first encounter with proof, and listing skills prerequisite for the proposed lesson (knowledge of some operational systems), the author describes in detail an introductory session in which students prove consequences of commutativity and associativity for a system supposedly encountered on…

Hess, Adrien L.; And Others – 1989
This handbook is designed as a guide for teachers and students in choosing and developing mathematics projects. Included are materials ranging from simple demonstrations of mathematical problems or principles that the teachers had assigned as classroom learning experiences to complex, sophisticated exhibits intended for fairs and competitions. The…

Alexander, Livingston; Cobb, Robert – 1984
The purpose of this study was to contribute to greater understanding of the mathematics anxiety construct by: (a) identifying the independent dimensions underlying the item responses on the Math Anxiety Rating Scale (MARS); (b) developing factor scales to measure these dimensions; and (c) determining if specific personal and academic background…
