The authors discuss Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), a curriculum approach that helps teachers understand and encourage children's use of intuitive strategies.…

In this paper, the author aims to offer an elaboration of simple, yet powerful, mathematical patterns through mathematical games. Mathematical games may serve as colorful instructional tools for teachers and textbooks, and may raise students' motivation and intuition. Patterns are fundamental in mathematics and computer science. In the case of…

States that students who succeed tend to be thinkers rather than feelers. Discusses how teachers can discover their own learning styles and develop an approach that reaches every learner. Suggests that music educators' teaching styles tend to mirror the learning styles of at-risk students and are missing from the remainder of the curriculum. (DK)

With respect to the innovative roles of technology within the educational realm, an important task of educational research is the investigation of how school children accommodate themselves to innovative computer-based learning environments. This paper describes the strategies and techniques employed and extended by above-average second- through…
