Robinson, Rosemary – Mathematics Teaching, 1979
The use of dice and dominoes in the classroom is discussed as leading from counting activities to pattern recognition and discovery learning. (MP)

Peer reviewedWillcutt, Bob – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Multibase arithmetic blocks are used to investigate the minimum number of blocks of each size to make a square of a given size in a given base. Generalizations are made to any size and any base through pattern recognition. The problem is extended to rectangles, cubes, and rectangular solids. (LS)

Peer reviewedBruni, James V.; Silverman, Helene J. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Many concepts can be introduced informally through activities. Among those which can be investigated using easily-made 10-by-10 pegboards are geometric shapes, coordinate systems, grouping and regrouping, and addition of two-place numbers. (SD)

Peer reviewedNelson, I. Doyal; Kirkpatrick, Joan – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Yearbook, 1975
Characteristics of good problems for primary school children are described and illustrated in discussions of sample problems. A collection of problems meeting these criteria is presented and annotated, and the organization of the classroom for problem-solving activities is discussed. (SD)
