This study's purposes were to test causal attribution theory in the masculine typed, content-specific task domain of mathematics and examine the effects of level of mathematics achievement, sex, and the interaction level of achievement and sex on attribution patterns. (MP)

Mathematical activities suitable for reproduction as worksheets are suggested. These activities are adaptations of the classic tower puzzle and are intended to help students discover patterns, make generalizations, and use the strategy of solving simpler problems in order to solve a more difficult one. (MK)

A study done with seventh and eighth graders to determine aspects of their knowledge about surface area and volume is described. Results indicate analogy in problem solving may be an appropriate strategy for seventh- and eighth-grade students. (MK)

A version of the game lotto or bingo that is useful in learning geometric concepts is described. (MK)

Examples of sex bias in mathematics classrooms are given, and ways of alleviating this bias and thereby improving mathematics instruction are described. (MK)

How computer methods can be applied to an old problem and how computer efficiency affects the solution to that problem are illustrated. (MK)

Teacher's guide and master work sheet are provided to be used to explore geometric properties within a problem-solving activitiy. (MK)

A game with a flexible format that can be used at any grade level and with almost any content is described. The game can be used to provide diagnostic information to the teacher, practice, review, or reinforcement. (MK)

A Cloze test used with a mathematics textbook and other evidence indicate that secondary school mathematics texts need improvement. (MK)

Worksheets for duplication are provided for this activity designed for students in grades 6-10. The objective of the activity is to have students discover generalizations about the patterns formed. (MK)

Highlights are given of the results of the second mathematics assessment of the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP), for 13 and 17 year olds, in the areas of number, algebra, geometry, measurement, and other miscellaneous topics. Changes from the previous assessment and conclusions are also included. (MK) Aspect of National…

Results are reported from a study examining computer usage in high schools that have had computer facilities for many years. (MP)

This calculator experiment for seventh-grade students on prime factorization contains objectives, difficulties, a discussion, several examples, and a worksheet. (MP)

The lesson described combines mathematics, science, and literature, and is easily adaptable for use with classes in basic mathematics, geometry, analytic geometry, or calculus. (MP)

This unit on coding discusses such topics as redundancy, hamming distance, linear codes, and the location of errors. Extensive use is made of matrices and binary numbers. (MP)
