The authors define an unusual partitioning or division" operation and explore number patterns and divisibility properties which result. The topic is suggested as enrichment material. (CT)

Discussed are the concepts of intuition, the general properties of an intuitive knowledge, and the classification of intuitions as problem solving of affirmative. An example of intuition using multiplication and division is described in some detail. (MNS)

Models for division are discussed: counting, repeated subtraction, inverse of multiplication, sets, number line, balance beam, arrays, and cross product of sets. Expressing the remainder using various models is then presented, followed by comments on why all the models should be taught. (MNS)

A strategy to make the transition from manipulative materials to a written algorithm for division is outlined in dialogue form. (MNS)

The validity of the Short Form Test of Academic Aptitude and a set of biographical variables as predictors of future academic achievement was investigated. Results showed high levels of predictive validity in terms of multiple correlations, cross-validated correlations, and prediction intervals. (Author/GK)

Reports on a survey of vernacular regions on both intrastate and interstate scales recognized by a group of college students who are residents of Arkansas. By conducting a survey such as the one described in this paper and analyzing the results, students can acquire familiarity with vernacular regions. (RM)

Ways to use popsicle sticks as concrete models of multiplication and division of fractions are given. (MK)

Programs which compute values for the nth power of 2 where n is very large and for fractions, with a great deal more precision than is normally possible for a computer, are listed. (TG)

Preskills and strategy training were shown to be effective in helping four eight- to nine-year-old learning disabled children acquire basic multiplication and division skills. (Author)

The author feels teaching division of fractions is worthwhile because it will help students understand other algorithms. (MK)

This article focuses on the aspect of mental arithmetic that uses thinking strategies that are effective with large numbers as well as basic facts. Two activities are suggested for lack of the four operations. (MK)

The multiplication and division algorithms that are taught in German schools are presented. It is suggested that these algorithms may be better than standard algorithms in terms of development of useful concepts and processes. (MK)

Presents an aerial view of a portion of Saudi Arabia as an example of how graphs taken by "Landsat" can provide new information to geographers about topography. (Author/DB)
