Peer reviewedJean, Roger V.; Johnson, Marjorie – School Science and Mathematics, 1989
Describes properties of Fibonacci numbers, including the law of recurrence and relationship with the Golden Ratio. Discussed are some applications of the numbers to sewage of towns on a river bank, resistances in electric circuits, and leafy stems in botany. Lists four references. (YP)

Peer reviewedNicholson, A. R. – Mathematics in School, 1989
Presents examples of 3-by-3 and 4-by-4 magic squares. Proves that the numbers 1 to 10 can not be fitted to the intersections of a pentagram and that the sum of the 4 numbers on each line is always 22. (YP)

Peer reviewedSchwartzman, Jan; Shultz, Harris S. – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
A square-dance number is defined as an even number which has the property that the set which consisted of the numbers one through the even number can be partitioned into pairs so that the sum of each pair is a square. Theorems for identifying square-dance numbers are discussed. (YP)

Peer reviewedBohan, Harry; Bohan, Susan – Arithmetic Teacher, 1993
Uses ancient Egyptian numeration system in a new setting to extend the concepts of base, place value, and correspondence. Discusses similarities and differences between the Egyptian and decimal systems. Students are asked to propose changes to make the Egyptian system easier. (LDR)

Peer reviewedSaenger, Robert M. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Using the methods described, pattern representation of operations in modular systems can be developed. (SD)
Descriptors: Display Systems, Elementary School Mathematics, Elementary Secondary Education, Graphs
Peer reviewedSawyer, W. W. – Mathematics in School, 1989
This article discusses the classroom use of discovery of number pattern. Provided are examples of a table of squares, multiplications of numbers, and algebraic expressions. (YP)
