Peer reviewedBrumfiel, Charles – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
A classic problem involving the "misuse" of mathematical induction is presented. The error in the "proof" is then exposed. The generalization of this problem is presented as a false theorem which should serve to highlight the error. (LS)

Peer reviewedLovie, Patricia; Lovie, A. D. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1976
Research on college students' ability to estimate means and variances for sets of data showed that they were more able to estimate means, and that various characteristics of the data (e.g. magnitude of numbers) influenced the accuracy of estimates. (SD)
