Prescott, P. – Mathematics Teaching, 1971
Commenting on an article by D. Scott, in Mathematics Teaching 52 (Autumn 1970), He present author shows that it is important to know the distribution of error and not just the maximum error. (MM)

Peer reviewedRoss, Steven M. – Journal of Educational Psychology, 1983
The focus of the present experiments was to examine the effect of adapting the context of a presentation to a student's background. The results showed familiarity of context to be an influential factor in learning quantitative material. (Author/PN)

Peer reviewedSchroeder, Thomas L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
"Capture" is a game that requires players to perform several computations on each turn and to choose an optimal move, thus promoting higher-order thinking and probability notions. Rules are given, playing is described, and extension activities are noted. (MNS)

Peer reviewedGinther, John L.; Ewbank, William A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
The problem deals with calculating the probability that two or more students in a given class have the same birthday. A sample of an experiment that can be carried out by hand in a class is first noted. A program written in BASIC and a sample run is then presented. (MP)

Peer reviewedWheeler, Kenneth G.; Mahoney, Thomas A. – Journal of Vocational Behavior, 1981
Explored differences between factors related to occupational preference and occupational choice for college students. Results supported the model indicating occupational preference was primarily a function of pure attraction; occupational choice was a function of attraction, expectancy of attaining an occupation, and consideration of expected…

Peer reviewedCollis, Betty – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
Details of an 18-lesson unit of instruction that has been used successfully with eighth-, ninth-, and tenth-grade classes are presented. Each lesson centers around individual computer programs written in Applesoft BASIC. Copies of two programs are provided, and ways to acquire the other 16 are noted. (MP)
