This year's event, slated for April 28, 2000, features the theme "Animals as Our Companions". This theme encourages students to…

This book introduces concepts of geometry that students use throughout middle-grade and higher-level mathematics courses. These concepts, presented through the study of transformations, provide a framework for other important topics such as number, measurement, proportional reasoning, and graphing on the coordinate plane. The book is designed for…

This assessment sample provides information on the Missouri Assessment Program (MAP) for grade 10 mathematics. The sample consists of three items taken from the test booklet and scoring guides for the three items. The items assess geometric/spatial sense and measurement, patterns and relationships, and number sense. (MM)

By changing the Euclidean metric definition, a new geometry is developed. Properties of figures are analyzed and theorems are proven in this new system. (DT)

Described are patterns in Pascal's triangle which are obtained when the entries are reduced modulo a prime number. (MM)
