The Number 2 Challenge.
Alterman, Alan E.
Arithmetic Teacher, v40 n3 p180-82 Nov 1992
Describes the "number 2 arithmetic challenge," an activity in which students score points by creating examples using the number 2 that satisfy an unknown rule. Computers are utilized to verify and record examples. Conflicts with computer responses create situations to explore negative numbers, fractions, mixed numbers, the order of operations, and the use of parentheses. (MDH)
