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)

The checking of subtraction and division problems is discussed. (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 method for compound subtraction which avoids the need to memorize a difficult set of subtraction facts is explained. (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)

A proposal is made that teachers integrate the various forms of the four operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division in a concrete way, rather than teaching the topics sequentially. (DT)

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…

The World's Largest Math Event 6 (WLME 6) is the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics' (NCTM) celebration of mathematics and mathematics education and is the highlight of Mathematics Education Month. This year's event, slated for April 28, 2000, features the theme "Animals as Our Companions". This theme encourages students to…
