Topics for student projects in geometry are discussed; useful references are included. (JT)

Relationships between elementary analytic geometry and several types of number sequences are discussed. (JT)

Geometry and a hand-held calculator are used to find a value of pi accurate to five decimal places. (CP)

This article provides a manipulative demonstration of the relationship between the squares on the sides of a right triangle. Materials are listed and directions are given for the student. Illustrations are included. (Author/MA)

Activities involving copying, enlarging, and translating stick figures can enhance students' understanding of graphs. (SD)

The author recommends the use of flow charting to help students understand the manipulation of algebraic formulae. He identifies some problems with flow charts and suggests an alternative method of constructing flow diagrams. (SD)

Provided is an analysis of Turtle Geometry using van Hiele levels of development and understanding. The author also relates a language use framework, suggested by the work of Fry (1982), to the language activities of Turtle Geometry. Research supporting the analysis is discussed. (RH)

Describes the characteristics of the five levels of thinking in the hierarchical sequence postulated by the van Hiele theory, as well as several properties associated with each level of thinking. Also discusses some implications of the theory for the planning of geometry instruction in the classroom. (JN)

Discussed is an approach in which algebra and geometry are interwoven in a series of problems that develop one from another. The two main concepts are the algebraic concept of function and the geometric concept of the "family of quadrilaterals." (MNS)

Diagrams that aid in relating the golden ratio to pi are discussed, with the theorem and its proof. (MNS)

Describes investigations involving data acquisition and analysis using microcomputers running the LOGO programing language. Provides new primitives to add to LOGO to access information from the analog to digital converter of a BBC microcomputer, giving samples of student results. (JM)

Presented are instructions for activities in which a calculator is used to investigate algebraic concepts. Also presented are short computer programs involving topics taught in prealgebra and an activity in which a trapezoid is transformed into a circle. (JN)

Presents examples which help students think visually about algebraic operations on vectors and the associated mappings of the plane. The pictures help students actively participate in defining new functions by enabling them to compose simpler known functions. Conversely, functions can be factored into the composition of simple functions. (JN)

Examines the study of transformations which result from cross-sections of a prism. The study involves some model-making, which in turn introduces some new problems of drawing and construction. The material is presented with the practicalities of classroom teaching in mind. (Author/JN)

Clarifies two concepts of gravity--those of a fictitious force and those of how space and time may have geometry. Reviews the position of Newton's theory of gravity in the context of special relativity and considers why gravity (as distinct from electromagnetics) lends itself to Einstein's revolutionary interpretation.
