Peer reviewedTall, David – Mathematics in School, 1981
Cardinal infinities, the superrational numbers, and intuitions of infinity in limiting processes are discussed. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Higher Education, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematical Enrichment
Peer reviewedMathematics Teacher, 1980
A method of teaching multiplication facts to remedial students using fingers and an alternate geometric proof developed by students are suggested. (MK)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Mathematics Instruction, Multiplication
Peer reviewedHirstein, James J.; Rachlin, Sidney L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
A system of area measurement developed for the isometric geoboard is used to justify some relationships that are often proved using square units of area. (Author/MK)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Manipulative Materials, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedGalbraith, P. L. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1981
The processes and perceptions of pupils in the mathematical processing of proofs are examined in clinical interviews of secondary school pupils. Analysis of the data led to the identification of clusters of characteristic response types. (MP)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Educational Research, Interviews, Logic
Peer reviewedKurtz, Barry; Karplus, Robert – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
This research study shows that it is possible to advance the use of proportional reasoning of many secondary school students by means of a well-designed teaching program. (MP)
Descriptors: Abstract Reasoning, Algebra, Cognitive Development, Educational Research
Peer reviewedOlson, Melfried – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
An example is discussed in which a drill exercise, initially involving whole number addition, can be used to develop concepts in equations of many variables. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Concept Formation, Instruction, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedRosnick, Peter – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
Presented is a study that underscores the extent to which students do not understand the use or meaning of letters in equations. (MP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Higher Education, Learning Problems, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedRichbart, Lynn A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
The probability and statistics portion of an optional comprehensive mathematics sequence offered at the secondary level in New York public schools is presented. (MP)
Descriptors: Curriculum Development, Mathematics Curriculum, Mathematics Instruction, Probability
Peer reviewedSrinivasan, P. K. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
A method for approaching the value of pi using a transparent sheet of parallel lines is discussed. (MP)
Descriptors: Discovery Learning, Geometric Concepts, Manipulative Materials, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedUsiskin, Zalman – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
The author argues against some topics included in the standard high school mathematics curriculum, including traditional algebraic word problems, trinomial factoring, complicated fractional expressions, and some geometric theorems and proofs. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, College Preparation, Geometry, Mathematics Curriculum
Peer reviewedCohen, Martin P.; Carpenter, John – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1980
The effects of nonexamples on the acquisition of the geometrical concept of semiregular polyhedra were examined. Results favored the treatments containing both examples and nonexamples. (TG).
Descriptors: Analytic Geometry, Concept Formation, Geometric Concepts, Geometry
Peer reviewedHutcheson, James W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Use of computer programs as tools for instruction on statistics is presented. A program for TRS-80 Level II BASIC is included. (MP)
Descriptors: Computer Assisted Instruction, Computer Programs, Mathematical Applications, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedKalman, Dan; Mitchell, Charles E. – School Science and Mathematics, 1981
An alternative application of logarithms in the high school algebra curriculum that is not undermined by the existence and widespread availability of calculators is presented. The importance and use of linear relationships are underscored in the proposed lessons. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Graphs, Mathematical Concepts, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedCarmony, Lowell – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
An unusual algorithm for approximating square roots is presented and investigated using techniques common in algebra. The material is presented as a tool to interest high school students in the logic behind mathematics. (MP)
Descriptors: Algebra, Algorithms, Instructional Materials, Mathematical Concepts
Peer reviewedWaits, Bert K,; Schultz, James E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
Four problems are presented and solutions using a calculator are illustrated. (MK)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculators, Computation, Graphs
