Variations on familiar games which can be used to motivate mathematics learning are described. (SD)

Rational points in the plane were defined as points having both coordinated rational. Students solved several problems linking rational points with lines, circles, and other geometric figures. (SD)

An approach to solving many linear programming problems, using only arithmetical thinking in conjunction with the usual diagram, is given. (MN)

Discusses and responds to criticisms of ten indices proposed for monitoring the operations of a training development group as a means of detecting problems and evaluating the impact of management decisions: productivity, timeliness, effectiveness, project efficiency, curriculum efficiency, cost, value, developmental process, personnel development,…

Investigates the effect of cue specificity on the transmission of information and learning through the use of graphical materials in science. (GA)

Topics covered include: a game involving dice, using curve stitching to teach number concepts, and an activity to introduce rectangular coordinate systems. (MP)

Use of graphs in studying greatest common divisors, least common multiples, and other concepts can illustrate patterns related to the definitions of these concepts. (SD)

Activities involving copying, enlarging, and translating stick figures can enhance students' understanding of graphs. (SD)

Single copies may be purchased from Secretary, C. Elton Hinshaw, 1313 21st Avenue South, Nashville, Tennessee 37212. (JG)

How the computer can aid the teacher in discussing plane curves is shown. Use of the zoom enables the teacher to illustrate aspects of graphs that would be difficult and time-consuming to show in other ways. Many illustrative graphs are included, and four programs are listed. (MNS)
