Stewart, Ward R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
Students, playing the game described, develop strategies for guessing the four-digit number chosen by the opponent. The rules of the game are easily understood by low achievers, yet strategy development is challenging to advanced students. The game can be extended to numbers having more digits. (SD)

Bruni, James V.; Silverman, Helene – Arithmetic Teacher, 1974
Wooden cubes can be used with task cards and teacher-made materials to develop and reinforce learning of linear measurement, area and multiplication, volume and surface area. Students can use cubes to cover area and fill boxes; later they learn to make boxes to fit specified numbers of cubes. (SD)

De Corte, Erik; Verschaffel, Lieven – 1987
Over the past few years a substantial body of research has yielded evidence that the semantic structure of elementary arithmetic word problems influences children's strategies to solve them. The study reported in this document considered three other task characteristics in addition to semantic structure: (1) the order of presentation of the two…
