A new version of a standard old problem is presented. Ways of solving, extending, and continuing the problem that make it applicable to many grade levels are discussed. (MK)

Six games designed to help students learn about money are described. (MK)

This paper describes a scheme of diagnosis and remediation in mathematics for undergraduates consisting of a multiple choice preknowledge test and certain books and programed materials. Certain knowledge gaps and their causes are identified and the effectiveness of the remedial materials and procedures are evaluated. (Author/MK)

An investigation of the possibility of teaching students to apply mathematical heuristics to novel mathematical problems is presented. Tenth-grade students demonstrated the ability to apply one heuristic to the solution of novel problems, regardless of the vehicle used. (JMF)

Presented is an account of some of the activities in mathematics that were carried on during World War II in the United States and comments on their impact on the development of mathematical sciences. (MP)

Synthesized are a number of learning theories (those of Piaget, Bruner, Gagne, Dienes and Skemp) to form one composite teaching-learning model. This model is then applied to mathematics teaching. An example is provided to illustrate how the model may be used to elaborate a teaching-learning scheme for solving quadratic equations. (Author/DS)

The current status of statistics education at the secondary level is reviewed, with particular attention focused on the various instructional programs in England. A description and preliminary evaluation of the Schools Council Project on Statistical Education is included. (MP)

The special needs and problems associated with encouraging mathematically able girls to pursue advanced training and education are detailed. Several specific suggestions on ways to help female students in these areas are given. (MP)

Some of the changes in mathematics curriculum and pedagogy suggested by the calculator are described and discussed. (MK)

A perusal of seven elementary mathematics textbooks published in the 1870's indicates "the metric system seems to have been riding a crest of popularity--at least among textbook authors--at the end of the 1870s." (MK)

Four ideas for the teaching of mathematics topics are suggested. The suggestions are: "To Prove or Not to Prove--That Is the Question"; "Fun at Christmastime"; "A Simple Technique for Factoring Trinomials"; and "An Alternate Method for Factoring" Quadratic Trinomials." (MK)

The author feels teaching division of fractions is worthwhile because it will help students understand other algorithms. (MK)

This article reviews four ways to approach percent problems, discusses percents of increase or decrease, and makes some suggestions for improvement in the teaching of percent problems. (Author/MK)

Some classroom uses for magic triangles are illustrated and discussed. (MK)

The Minnesota Educational Computing Consortium's (MECC) plan for statewide support and aquisition for educational microcomputers is described, with a focus on the need, development, and implementation of the plan. (Author/MK)
