A math strategy using an "add-card" which illustrates simple addition facts was originally developed for learning disabled students but was also successfully used with mildly retarded students. (CL)

The rules for playing the medieval game of Rithmomachia, a battle of numbers, is described. Moves, rules of capture, play with the pyramids, components of pyramids, victories, and hints on strategy are each given. (MNS)

A sequence of exploratory activities is designed to help beginners use the BASIC language and make simple pictures by graphing pairs of numbers. (MNS)

Rules are given for two different arithmetic games. A list of suggestions for constructing games and maximizing their effectiveness are included. (DT)

Four worksheets are provided for giving students experience with addition facts, subtraction facts, multiplication facts, and with building equations involving more than one operation. (DT)

Graphical representations of modular arithmetic multiplication tables and of equations in modular systems are investigated. (DT)

A paper staircase drawn on a grid forms the basis for a discovery lesson in algebra. (DT)

Methods of handling a student's incorrect mathematical generalization are discussed. (DT)

This article discusses how numbers are stored internally in a computer. (DT)

This article treats aspects of Gaussian integers that form a setting in which students can generalize concepts from elementary number theory. (DT)

A geometric interpretation is given to the arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means of two positive numbers a and b, and a fourth fundamental mean, the root mean square, is introduced. Results are generalized to three dimensions, and other types of means are discussed. (DT)

This article presents a geometric construction in which the quadratic, arithmetic, geometric, and harmonic means are drawn together in a single diagram. (DT)

GED "Scoreboost" materials target exactly the skills one needs to pass the General Educational Development (GED) tests. This book focuses on the Mathematics test, with material to help develop the skills needed for whole numbers, decimals, fractions, and percents. The workbook presents 16 strategies for skill development: (1) use a…

This book demonstrates how K-2 students deepen their mathematical ideas when encouraged to represent and communicate their thinking. Numerous vignettes from actual classrooms and reflective comments from teachers provide a model for how show and tell can enhance classroom teaching and improve children's learning. Examples of students' work and…

The purpose of this instructional packet is to inform teachers and parents about children's development of numeracy in the early years of schooling. "I Can Do Maths" questions are in a child-friendly format and require children to write, draw, count, and measure. Two "ezi-guides" are provided to make administration easier. Keeping track of the…
