Some number investigations on the multiplication table are provided by a sequence of four activity sheets. Beginning with examples of triangular and square numbers, the activities lead to the generalization. (MNS)

Proposed is that the present sequence of algebra followed by geometry leads to frustration. Students should be given the basic skills they need to survive in advanced mathematics and chemistry, with emphasis on percentage and ratio problems. (MNS)

Responses from about 500 average ability students at the end of ninth grade to an algebra assignment are reported and discussed. (MNS)

This section presents four worksheets for grades 1-8 on problem-solving activities with a "things to do this summer theme." Problems relate to a county fair, a library summer reading program, camp, and summer jobs. (MNS)

Three activities on the right justified multiple triangle are presented. The activities are designed for use in practicing computational skills and for discovering number patterns. (JN)

Algebraic and computer solutions are offered for a problem on time payment scheduling. The problem, falling within the scope of high school algebra, could focus only on the algebraic methods, but including the computer brings out the relationship between the power of algebra and the power of modern technology. (JN)

How physicians turn the data from tests and evaluations of patients into information useful for medical action is described. This is an important application of the distance formula. (MNS)

A subcommittee of the Mathematics Association (England) investigated the role and needs of the middle school. Diverse educational issues are discussed; a spiral curriculum is recommended. (SD)

The mathematical needs of students entering technical occupations after secondary school are discussed. Forty-four competencies are listed. Nine questions which need further consideration are proposed; these are related to such topics as declining competence, selection tests, and the impact of calculators. (SD)

Calculator activities and games are described for the topics of computation and estimation, measurement and geometry, functions, and problem solving and applications. (DT)

Nine different attitude scales are briefly described. They cover attitude toward success in mathematics, mathematics as a male domain, mother's and father's attitude, teachers' attitudes, confidence in learning mathematics, mathematics anxiety, effectance motivation in mathematics, and mathematics usefulness. (DT)

A game simulating a probability problem is described. Modifications of the game are discussed. (DT)

A game for working on number skills is described. (DT)

A method is described for working multiplication problems by counting on fingers. (DT)

Describes several class activities to introduce the metric system to seventh graders. Also presents three groups of activities that are used to individualize instruction. Students choose activities within each group, completing as many as contracted in the areas of (1) making something, (2) gathering experimental data, and (3) completing…
