Articles on the factorization of polynomials using a rejection theorem; a general formula for the N-th of a sequence; and integration by undetermined coefficients. (MM)

The use of two rulers to teach negative numbers is described. (DB)

A rational presentation of the so-called long division method for extracting the square root of a number. Diagrams are used to show relationship of this technique to the binomial theorem. Presentation exposes student to many facets of mathematics in addition to the mechanics of funding square root and cube root. Geometry, algebraic statements,…

Examines the ability of infants ranging in age from 21 to 44 hours old to discriminate among visual stimulus arrays. Infants were able to discriminate between small sets of dots (two to three dots) but not between larger sets (four to six). (Author/MP)

Models for developing addition, subtraction, and multiplication with integers are given. (MNS)

An empirical test of alternative claims by Bryant and Piaget concerning the development of invariance of quantities in 3- and 4-year-old children was made. Results support the Piagetian thesis in showing that those subjects respond with stereotypic strategies rather than by an invariance of number principle. (Author/JMB)
