Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Games, Geometric Concepts, Instruction

Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
A case is made for a comprehensive curriculum that includes strong competencies with not only number ideas and computation, but also with other mathematical topics such as geometry, statistics, probability, and estimation. (MP)
Descriptors: Computation, Curriculum, Curriculum Problems, Elementary Secondary Education

Jones, Graham – Arithmetic Teacher, 1979
The inclusion of probability in the school curriculum is argued to be justified on mathematical, psychological, and social grounds. Contemporary teaching approaches are suggested as sufficient. (MP)

Schroeder, Thomas L. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1983
"Capture" is a game that requires players to perform several computations on each turn and to choose an optimal move, thus promoting higher-order thinking and probability notions. Rules are given, playing is described, and extension activities are noted. (MNS)
