Peer reviewedSmart, James R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1974
A short story is presented which uses as its characters rational and irrational numbers and numbers involving fractional exponents. (DT)
Descriptors: Instruction, Mathematics Education, Number Concepts, Numbers
Peer reviewedLitwiller, Bonnie H.; Duncan, David R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1973
A recreational activity providing practice in computation is described. Examples are provided and the underlying mathematics is analyzed. (DT)

Peer reviewedGood, Ron – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
A proposal is made that teachers integrate the various forms of the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a concrete way, rather than teaching the topics sequentially. (DT)

Peer reviewedHayes, David T. – School Science and Mathematics, 1979
Problems are discussed in which addition facts are presented using words instead of numbers. The letters are then replaced by numbers that will make the addition problems correct. (MP)

Peer reviewedCarlisle, Earnest – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
A procedure for recording the prime factors of a composite number is explained. (DT)

Peer reviewedRiden, Chuck – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Procedures for using a calculator to check addition and subtraction problems in bases less than 10 are described. (SD)
Descriptors: Addition, Calculators, Curriculum, Educational Media
Peer reviewedCatanzano, Robert – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
The rationale for teaching different number bases is discussed, and an approach for teaching the base 4 system is suggested. (DT)

Peer reviewedBidwell, James K. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Activities involving set union and intersection, graphing solutions of open sentences, and negation are described. These activities afford students with opportunities for computational practice as well as instruction on equations and inequalities. (SD)

Peer reviewedWebb, Leland F. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Rational points in the plane were defined as points having both coordinated rational. Students solved several problems linking rational points with lines, circles, and other geometric figures. (SD)

Peer reviewedUprichard, A. Edward; Collura, Carolyn – School Science and Mathematics, 1977
The goal was to help 7- and 8-year olds develop computational skills in addition and subtraction. Experimental groups received instruction emphasizing mathematical structure while control groups worked on drill activities. Results showed that emphasizing structure facilitated the development of number concepts, place value, and computational…
