Early measures of mathematics skill and development have focused on early numeracy skills like counting, number identification, and sequencing of numbers. This study attempted to expand early mathematics assessment. Six new measures of early mathematics skill competence were developed and evaluated. Four existing measures also were examined.…

Stresses that powers are all based on geometric progressions which start at unity. Various patterns are discussed. (MNS)

An algebra class asked: What is the smallest positive integer that is divisible by each integer less than or equal to ten? Students discovered factorials and a solution. Verifying the solution produced a series of numbers. Successive differences between entries, triangular arrays, and successive quotients finally led to Pascal's triangle. (KM)

Presents historical development on the construction of magic squares. Techniques presented for construction of even-numbered magic squares, and in particular the four-by-four magic square. (RP)

A model for multiplication is described and used to discuss the properties of division. (SD)

Using arrays of dots and grids many numerical concepts can be illustrated for students. (SD)

Presents a brief definition and examples of residue designs while sharing some of the algebraic thought that a student used to form generalizations about the patterns discovered during the investigations of residue designs. (ASK)

Four activity workshops are suggested which might be used for several different purposes. The reproducible worksheets address clock patterns, patterns with tides, extending Pythagoras, and fractions extended. (PK)
