Peer reviewedArcher, J. Andrew – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
An algorithm for multiplying natural numbers is described. The algorithm provides a chance for some unusual drill and might serve as an enrichment topic. (MK)

Peer reviewedZeddies, Melvin L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
Examples of student-developed methods for dividing fractions and dividing and multiplying whole numbers are presented. Both are selected to show mathematical creativity in general mathematics students which would often be overlooked. (MP)

Peer reviewedZeilberger, Doron; Todd, Philip – Mathematics Teacher, 1981
An unusual way of using the long multiplication algorithm to solve problems is presented. It is conceptually harder, since it involves negative numbers but is easier to perform once mastered, since the size of the multiplication table required is smaller than the standard one. (MP)

Peer reviewedSpence, Lawrence E.; Eynden, Charles Vanden – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Programing a microcomputer to solve problems in whole-number arithmetic, rather than using the built-in operations of the computer, is described. Not only useful, it also enhances important mathematical concepts and is adaptable to a range of student abilities. (MNS)
