Presents the results of a study which examined the existence of regional groupings of states. The study used a Q-factor analysis of 84 socioeconomic, political, and policy variables taken primarily from the 1960 and 1980 census data. Analysis of the 1980 data revealed five categories: Southern, Northeast Industrial, Midwest Industrial, Plains, and…

The mathematics associated with division is discussed, working from a theorem for the real division algorithm. Real-world, geometric, and algebraic approaches are discussed, as are related topics. (MNS)

A technique for doing long division without the usual estimation difficulty is presented. It uses multiples of 2 combined with a recording technique. (MNS)

Provides a brief account of the history and present trends of grade organization plans, with emphasis on the development of the middle school. (IRT)

Provides an alternative to traditional instruction in multiplication and division to develop computational fluency in students. (Author/NB)
