Peer reviewedPethtel, R. D. – Mathematics Teacher, 1987
Abundant and deficient positive integers are investigated, with a computer program listed. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Integers, Learning Activities, Mathematics
Peer reviewedWilliams, David E. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
License plates are used to give students experiences in solving problems, following directions, developing numeracy, and writing number sentences. Four activities for different levels are given on the four worksheets. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, Instructional Materials, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedHarrison, William B. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
Children used lunch milk cartons to form a cubic meter, then covered it with construction paper and drew squares to show that it contained one million cubic centimeters. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Activities, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedMason, Margie – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
A variety of activities and information about computers and programing are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Computer Software, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions
Peer reviewedSchonfeld, Irvin Sam – Developmental Psychology, 1986
Compares the Genevan and Cattell-Horn theories of intelligence and describes both similarities and differences. Describes a study investigating the relation of the Piagetian operative level to the child's ability to use crystallized solution procedures (aids) in making elementary numerical comparisons. (HOD)
Descriptors: Cognitive Development, Comparative Analysis, Computation, Concept Formation
Peer reviewedErnest, Paul – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1985
Possible stages in young children's use of the number line as an aid are described. The practice of using number lines in test items is discussed and criticized. Finally, the wider role of the number line diagrams in mathematics teaching is outlined. (MNS)
Descriptors: Addition, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedHaigh, Gordon; Bailey, Andy – Mathematics in School, 1986
Three games in which the calculator plays an important facilitating role are presented. It promotes a "guess then adjust your guess" strategy. The games are described within the context of elementary, junior high, and secondary classrooms. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Educational Games, Elementary Secondary Education, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedTapson, Frank – Mathematics in School, 1985
Exercises are used when beginning work with calculators to help pupils think about what they are doing. Four worksheets are included, with discussion of their objectives. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics
Peer reviewedSherzer, Laurence – Mathematics Teacher, 1986
Describes a process which allows students to explore repeating decimals without being inhibited by the limitations of the calculator display. In addition, the process can take some of the mystery from the decimal forms of rational numbers. (JN)
Descriptors: Calculators, College Mathematics, Decimal Fractions, High Schools
Peer reviewedGlatzer, David J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Ideas for teaching the concepts of percentage, recognition of patterns in percentages, percentage as a special ratio, ways of finding percentages, and fractional percentages are presented. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Mathematics Instruction, Pattern Recognition
Peer reviewedHollis, L. Y. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Activities for selecting, naming, matching, recording, and reproducing fractions are presented, using a variety of illustrations and materials. (MNS)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Fractions, Learning Activities
Peer reviewedBlaeuer, David A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1984
Several examples are given to show that the calculator can be a tool to enhance mathematical understanding. Expressing rational numbers (fractions) as decimals provides the content focus. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Decimal Fractions, Division, Elementary Secondary Education
Peer reviewedFriedberg, Stephen H. – College Mathematics Journal, 1984
Two computer programs are given to provide simulations, for any value of n, to keep count of the frequency of the first significant digit. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computer Programs, Computer Simulation, Higher Education
Peer reviewedThompson, Carla J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1984
Various types of computerized sorting techniques are demonstrated with cardboard materials children can manipulate. Bubble, ripple, and binary sorting are each illustrated. (MNS)
Descriptors: Classification, Computer Science, Computers, Elementary Secondary Education
Peer reviewedHarris, Whitney, Jr. – Mathematics and Computer Education, 1985
An example is given of how to help students who have obtained a correct answer by a wrong method. They are asked to suppose that a child has found an easy method for division, and eventually write a computer program to show the correct method. (MNS)
