This book contains a set of versatile enrichment exercises that cover a very broad range of mathematical topics and applications in algebra from the Moebius strip to the googol. Several criteria have been used in developing the activities and selecting the topics that are included. All of them bear heavily and equally on concerns for curriculum…

Discussed is a way of playing with numbers that leads to interesting results and provides well-disguised drill. (JP)

Presented are several variations of a multiplication game which develops probability and statistical concepts while it reinforces students' arithmetic skills. (JP)

Topics covered include matrices and the Fibonacci sequence, number patterns, groups, geometric arrangement of objects, games involving moving on a network, equivalent equations, and factoring. (DT)

Describes several activities to provide opportunity for the discovery of number patterns and shows the need for care in the descriptions of such patterns. (Author)

The focus of these worksheets is on problem solving. Verbal problems involving number concepts are presented for primary levels; worksheets for the intermediate grades draw on geometric concepts, measurement, and elementary logic. (DT)
