Hedger, Keith; Kent, David – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
A square lattice is used to generate classroom activities, such as counting the number of squares in a lattice of a given size. (MP)

Peer reviewedStrangman, Kathryn Besic – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Ways of finding the sums of some interesting sequences of numbers are discussed. Finding the patterns creates a challenge, but the patterns are not too difficult for average pupils to discover. Mathematical induction can then be used to prove the formulas. (LS)

Ehrlich, Amos – Mathematics Teaching, 1978
Described are results obtained by students investigating double-diagrams, including discoveries of properties and accompanying proofs. (MP)

Peer reviewedJamski, William – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
Students, using the materials provided, can determine the number of diagonals, number of triangles formed by the diagonals, and degree measures of interior and exterior angles of regular polygons. The activity is designed to lead them to general formulae for polygons with n sides. (SD)

Peer reviewedWeaver, Cloman – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Details of an investigation into polygonal numbers are given. From a study of the tabled series, patterns are discovered both within and between the various polygonal series. From a study of these results and the corresponding figures, formulas are developed. (LS)
