This book suggests creative, classroom-tested mathematics activities to teach number recognition and counting, number formation, sorting and classification, measuring (including time and date), shapes, graphing, estimating, ordinal positions, money, patterning, tallying, and fractions. Activities are presented in the forms of games, crafts, songs,…

This study uses an algorithm-based visual display technique (FACES) to provide enhanced detection of multivariate outliers within large-scale data sets. The FACES computer graphing algorithm (H. Chernoff, 1973) constructs a cartoon-like face, using up to 18 variables for each case. A major advantage of FACES is the ability to store and show the…

The author details graph exercises and solutions, coordinated with a "new textbook," to explain gas laws for isoprocesses, the first law of thermodynamics, and heat transfer. (JH)

As one way of applying and enriching mathematics instruction through integration with science, four mini-projects'' are briefly presented. The three topics are oil molecule estimation, animal classification, graphing and genetic sequences. (MS)

As part of their teacher training course, graduate students visited several industries to find what mathematics was in use. (MM)

A discussion of the relation between traffic density, speed and flow, used as an illustration of the ideas of functions and mathematical models. (MM)
