Suggests basic mathematical requirements on the General Certificate of Education A level in an effort to improve student inability of using mathematical skills in learning sixth form physics and subsequent advanced courses. Indicates that conformity with new styles of mathematics teaching is preferable in curriculum formulation. (CC)

Topics covered include matrices and the Fibonacci sequence, number patterns, groups, geometric arrangement of objects, games involving moving on a network, equivalent equations, and factoring. (DT)

Four worksheets are provided which give instructions for constructing a tangram by locating points on the Cartesian plane, which specify shapes to be made with the seven tangram pieces, and which ask students to create additional shapes. (DT)

Continues a report on the British Schools Mathematics Project and includes the Project's recommendations for children in Middle Schools (ages 8-13). (MM)

Finding areas on square grid and on isometric grid geoboards is explained, then the Pythagorean Theorem is investigated when regular n-gons and when similar figures are erected on the sides of a right triangle. (DT)

Chains made up of alternate arrows and numbers are used to represent the result of repeated applications of a function. A collection of problems based on these arrow chains is provided. (DT)

Cognitive objectives (with examples of behavioral objectives) at the first three levels discussed in the previous issue (SE 505 766) are presented. (MM)

A mathematics center is described, including a list of basic equipment for the laboratory. The main focus of the article is on teaching method. Three discovery-oriented procedures are noted, and successful activities and materials are discussed. (DT)

A discussion of behavioral objectives of teaching mathematics classified under the heading of application, analysis, and synthesis. This article is a continuation of previous articles in this journal. (DT)
