Repeatedly taking the square root with a calculator yields numbers with logarithmic-type properties, which can be used to define the logarithm functions. (MP)

Comparing calendar years and planetary years serves as the basis of a calculator problem. (MP)

Outlined is the preparation and use of graph paper for activities in counting' approximation, making bar graphs, and decimals. (MP)

How can a teacher cover an exciting aspect of ceramics, provide his students with an exemplary model of an artist craftsperson, and bring about a growing sense of community through an alternate learning situation? One way is by offering a raku workshop, complete with kiln building. (Author)

A device is described that aids students in doing percentage problems. (MP)

Problem solving is presented as a resource for creating curriculum through reflections on intuition such as: exploring available intuitions, making explicit the intuitions used, and using intuition to generalize. (MP)

A situation is presented that is intended to lead to open-ended mathematical discussions that allow students to conjecture, discover, and prove mathematical statements. (MP)
