Alberta Dept. of Education, Edmonton. Curriculum Branch. – 1987
This monograph was developed with the intention of addressing the concerns of high school mathematics teachers in Alberta (Canada) who want to base their programs on problem solving but have questions about effective and efficient ways to do so. Considered are the most basic philosophical questions, and a framework is provided to use in solving…

Schwartz, Richard H. – Information Exchange Network Clearinghouse Memo, 1980
Ways in which mathematics and global education can be combined are described. Following a discussion of the need for having a citizenry capable of analyzing global issues, methods of infusing global education into the mathematics curriculum and math into the social studies curriculum are offered. Half of the document consists of eight sample…

Rachlin, Sid, Ed.; McDonald, Judy, Ed. – 1982
This monograph provides teachers with a wide range of articles on the teaching of problem solving in the mathematics classroom. The first section, on Understanding the Problem, includes articles which provide a sense of the "problem" of teaching problem solving. The second section, on Devising a Plan, provides suggested plans for…

Yvon, Bernard R. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Six bonuses that students and teachers experience when using calculators are described. Then problem solving and creative problem-making are discussed, followed by practical suggestions for teachers who want to try calculators. Advice on personalizing the use of calculators and recognizing some of their limitations is also included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Guidelines

Blake, Rick N. – Mathematics Teacher, 1985
The author uses Stella the Spider as the main character in a number of three-dimensional geometry problems. Eight of these problems are discussed, with solutions. (MNS)
Descriptors: Answer Keys, Geometric Concepts, Mathematics Instruction, Problem Sets

Leutzinger, Larry P. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1985
The skill of asking appropriate intermediate questions during problem solving is discussed. Several problems and other classroom activities are also presented. (MNS)

Kleiner, Israel – For the Learning of Mathematics, 1986
A one-semester course at the third-year level at York University is described. It tries to legitimize in students' eyes that it makes sense to talk about mathematics as well as do mathematics. Seven course themes are discussed, followed by nine problems used in the course. (MNS)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Course Descriptions, Higher Education, History

Eperson, D. B. – Mathematics in School, 1984
Fifteen mathematical puzzles and problems are presented. Areas investigated include pentominoes, arithmetic, fractions, and dissections (dissecting) a shape into two pieces that can be fitted together to form a square. Answers for each puzzle and problems are included. (JN)
Descriptors: Arithmetic, Fractions, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education

Schaaf, Oscar F. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Motivational classroom materials that provide direct instruction on problem-solving skills are given. The activity highlights and provides opportunities for practice with two problem-solving skills, make a drawing and work backward. (MNS)
