Fletcher, Aylwin A. – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
The action in a British sporting event (bumping races) was used to motivate a simple method of computing the correlation between starting and finishing positions. The method is generalized to other situations. (SD)

Robin, Anthony C. – Mathematics Teaching, 1976
Finding the shortest route between two points can be approached by vector methods. Several types of matrices modelling a map of 6 cities are described. (SD)

Hill, Linda; Rothery, Andrew – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Mathematical modelling activities related to everyday situations (e.g., traffic lights) can be used to develop probability concepts. (SD)

Walther, G. – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
A series of simple games can be analyzed inductively to determine strategies. Students explore possibilities, hypothesize solutions, prove their solutions correct, and then generalize to more complex games. (SD)
