Wallis, B. W. – Mathematics Teaching, 1971
Descriptors: Instruction, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Models, Mathematics Education
Wells, Peter – Mathematics Teaching, 1970
A method for introducing ideas of probability theory is presented. The method is illustrated by solving a coin tossing" problem. (FL)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Instruction, Mathematical Models, Mathematics
Peer reviewedTaylor, N. W. – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1975
A model for population growth is described. (SD)
Descriptors: Computers, Instruction, Mathematical Models, Mathematics Education
Matthews, Geoffrey; Bausor, John – International Journal of Mathematics Education, 1972
The approximate nature of measurement is stressed, with examples given of elementary school mathematics problems which confuse reality with its mathematical model. Examples relating measurement to mathematical structure are given. (DT)
Descriptors: Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Models
Peer reviewedByrkit, Donald R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1972
Descriptors: Algebra, Instruction, Mathematical Models, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedVansteenkiste, G. C. – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 1975

Hope, Cyril; Rothery, Andrew – Mathematics Teaching, 1975
Suggestions are provided for activities involving the construction of mathematical models to solve "real-life" problems. (SD)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Curriculum, Instruction, Mathematical Models
Peer reviewedMacDonald, I. D. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1978
The nature of insight is discussed as it relates to mathematical models. Intuition and the intuitively obvious are argued to have no necessary connection with models. (MP)
Descriptors: Cognitive Processes, Concept Formation, Generalization, Higher Education
Peer reviewedSelkirk, Keith – Mathematics in School, 1973
A mathematical model of a soccer-league competition results is set up and investigated using simple randomization techniques. The hypothesis that winning the league championship was purely luck was statistically tested. (JP)
Descriptors: Experiential Learning, Instruction, Mathematical Models, Probability
Peer reviewedBrumfiel, Charles – Arithmetic Teacher, 1971
Before judging a student's diagram correct or incorrect, the mental associations made by the student between his diagram and the problem should be known. This is a follow-up to the author's article in the November 1970, Arithmetic Teacher." (RS)
Descriptors: Association (Psychology), Diagrams, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction
Peer reviewedTrigg, Charles W. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Five methods are given for computing the area of a regular octahedron. It is suggested that students first construct an octahedron as this will aid in space visualization. Six further extensions are left for the reader to try. (LS)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction, Mathematical Formulas
Peer reviewedVest, Floyd – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1976
An analysis of methods of teaching children to solve verbal arithmetic problems is presented together with transcriptions of interviews in which children solve problems by reference to problem types. (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Instruction, Logical Thinking
Brown, Margaret – International Journal of Mathematics Education, 1972
Descriptors: Inservice Teacher Education, Instruction, Mathematical Applications, Mathematical Models
Peer reviewedFisk, Robert S. – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1975
Four problems in which elementary mathematics can be used in constructing models are described. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculus, College Mathematics, Higher Education
Peer reviewedLepowsky, William L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The similarity between two apparently dissimilar problems is explored. Pascal's triangle is involved. (SD)
