In early years' (primary grade) classrooms in Australia repeated patterns are commonly explored as an early introductory activity to mathematics. Most young students have an extensive knowledge of and exhibit success in copying, continuing, creating and transferring patterns into other media. By contrast, research indicates one of the most…

In this paper methods and algorithms for identifying the main elements (edges and facets of any dimension) of a cone and a polytope, and calculating the corresponding hypervolumes are presented. The cones and polytopes are supposed to be given as the non-negative linear combination and the convex hull generated by a, not necessarily minimal, set…

This reprint from the June 1912 issue of "Mathematics Teacher" gives readers a sense of the timelessness of some of the issues relating to teaching for computational fluency.

TESTS ON ALGEBRA WERE PREPARED TO ASSIST TEACHERS PARTICIPATING IN THIS PROJECT. TWENTY-TWO UNIT OR CHAPTER TESTS, 6 CUMULATIVE REVIEWS, AND 1 FINAL EXAMINATION ARE PRESENTED. OTHER REPORTS ON THIS PROJECT WERE ASSIGNED ACCESSION NUMBERS ED 003 197, ED 003 237, AND ED 003 198. (JM)

This textbook presents a theoretical and practical elementary algebra course for schools and colleges. Chapters cover topics such as: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division of algebraic quantities; algebraic fractions; simple equations with one unknown quantity; simple equations with two or more unknown quantities; involution and…

It was hypothesized that a supplemental unit in mathematical proof would increase students' chances of success in linear algebra. (Authors/JA)

This is the conclusion of a two-part paper begun in volume 27, number 2 (SE 506 348). (JM)

Vector concepts discussed in five lessons of the UICSM algebra classes for grade eight are developed in reference, primarily, to travel between points. (JG)

The triangular array formed from the coefficients of sin + cos is discussed in relation to Pascal's triangle. (JG)
