This compilation of 138 problems illustrating applications of high school mathematics to various aspects of space science is intended as a resource from which the teacher may select questions to supplement his regular course. None of the problems require a knowledge of calculus or physics, and solutions are presented along with the problem…

Lines in the coordinatized plane which do not go through the origin can be designated by the ordered pair of intercepts. The enrichment unit described illustrates duality in mathematics. (SD)

Twenty puzzles originally posed by Sam Loyd (1841-1911) are presented. Solutions are provided. (SD)

Magic squares are used to generate number games similar to tic-tac-toe. Skills that are reinforced include addition of negative numbers and addition and multiplication of fractions. (MP)

Four elementary mathematical games and three parodies of Poe's "The Raven" are presented. (BB)

A method is given for the analysis of geodesic domes involving plane geometry. The method shows how to calculate all necessary angles and chords, given the length of one side. (MP)

The statement on the mathematics needed by students planning to take collegiate mathematics and the list of recommendations to strengthen the preparation of students for collegiate level courses prepared by a joint committee of the Mathematical Association of America and the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics in March, 1976, are…

A hand-held calculator is used to explore several easy and interesting mathematical topics involving compound and continuous interest suitable for beginning college students. (MN)

The ideas presented include a number line activity for addition and subtraction of integers, a game involving polynomials that encourages mathematical guesswork and deduction, and an introductory story for parabolas. (JT)

A set of rules is given for developing pairs of numbers which can be plotted on a graph, to provide practice not only with graphing but also with computation. (JT)

Three worksheets explore perfect, deficient, abundant, and amicable numbers by attaching mystical connotations to numbers and their divisors. (JT)

Examines mathematics as a pure and applied discipline and suggests it should be taught in an applied context. Reviews the development and philosophy of the "mathematics for all" movement. Concludes that continuing research in this area is necessary for progress of the movement. (BSR)

Offers suggestions for using the newspaper to help learning disabled students improve their reading, language arts, and mathematics skills. (ARH)

Mathematics teachers who want to delight gifted pupils, communicate the universality of mathematics, and encourage creative exploration, need to read mathematics books, communicate about problems, and participate in inservice education. (Author/DB)

Some of the problems of learning disabled students which make teaching arithmetic difficult include: symbol-object relationships, reversibility of functions, perceptual deficits, multiplication tables, division tasks, word problems, and place values. Among suggestions for teachers are presenting and setting up problems according to students'…
