Suggests how simulation games can be used in the classroom to help students understand situations such as politics, war, international relations, and social activities. Explains how to design a simulation game and presents teacher and student instructions for a game entitled "The Battle of Bunker Hill." (DB)

The article presents three activities designed to create new images, restructure ideas, and try out new ways of thinking for primary-aged gifted children. (PHR)

The topics of angle construction, angle trisection, and regular polygon construction with only a straightedge and compass are discussed for angles with integer measure. (MP)

A mathematics laboratory is described that plays a central role in an undergraduate and graduate teacher education program. The laboratory allows students to relate mathematics content with teaching methodology and instructional planning systems. (MP)

An investigation of these numbers is shown to give students an opportunity to make use of such mathematical skills as algebraic substitution, modular arithmetic, counting arguments, and mathematical induction. (MP)

Methods are discussed for transforming sets of data so that properties of the scale used to obtain the data are preserved. A list of suggested activities is included. (MP)

Two algorithms are developed for finding the square roots of numbers. One is based on the rule that x square is the sum of the first x odd numbers; the other is algebraic. (MP)

A number of activities are suggested that provide motivation and increases the confidence of students involved in practicing numerical skills. (MP)

A unit on programing is discussed in terms of limitations due to lack of hardware and benefits resulting from using a microcomputer in the classroom. (MP)

An array model is discussed as an alternative approach to reviewing the four basic operations with fractions; it could help motivate students. (MP)

An example is given of a class of problems whose solutions require the use of a scientific calculator in order to plot the graphs. (MP)

A technique is given for solving problems involving a balance scale and a number of coins which are to be sorted in a certain number of weighings. (MP)

A description is given of a game used to give a continuous review of multiplication facts and illustrate certain properties. (MP)

An alternative approach is described for presenting the idea of the derivative through the use of chords of a graph. (MP)

Considerations of the history of similar techniques and the structure of the method itself are used to discuss this question. (MP)
