Two problem-solving posters are given, one involving finding the ages of well-known characters and using this information to solve problems and the other focusing on using information from a chart. (MNS)

A letter from a parent about a homework assignment involving much repetition (and time) is used as the vehicle to discuss the problem. (MNS)

Three instructional strategies were used for promoting the behaviors of drawing diagrams, approximating and verifying, constructing an equation, classifying data, and constructing a chart. Results showed subjects given instruction on specific behaviors were more likely to exhibit and use those problem-solving behaviors in new problem situations.…

The functions of a mathematician in industry are analyzed and suggestions are given concerning the mathematical training that would be appropriate. (DT)

A probability problem concerned with drawing balls of a given color from an urn is discussed. Two methods of solution result from two different views of the problem. (JP)

The existence of inductive and deductive learning styles and their effect on mathematics achievement were investigated. No significant difference in achievement was found between students identified as having inductive or deductive learning styles, on materials which were classified as inductive or deductive learning programs.
