Wenninger, Magnus J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
A method is given for the analysis of geodesic domes involving plane geometry. The method shows how to calculate all necessary angles and chords, given the length of one side. (MP)
Descriptors: Geometry, Instruction, Learning Activities, Mathematical Enrichment
Brady, J. M.; Emanuel, R. B. – Creative Computing, 1978
A system is illustrated in which a game-winning strategy can be discovered and used. This involves students writing computer programs to play some game and then playing their programs against each other. (MP)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Computer Programs, Computers, Games
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Koop, Anthony J.; Fraser, Barry J. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1978
From a set of history of mathematics materials, a play and an article were selected for evaluation through opinions of experts, survey of teachers, and changes in students' affective and cognitive outcomes. (MP)
Descriptors: Attitudes, Educational Research, Evaluation, Instruction
Goodson, Bobby – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
This bibliography lists books containing classroom-ready materials that can be used in conjunction with routine mathematics lessons. A description is given of six of these books. (MP)
Descriptors: Annotated Bibliographies, Bibliographies, Calculators, Computation
Shin, Joseph – Calculators/Computers Magazine, 1978
Results are given of a 14-question survey of students related to the use of calculators in school. The use of mathematical tables as opposed to calculators is discussed. (MP)
