Dana, Marcia E.; Lindquist, Mary Montgomery – Arithmetic Teacher, 1978
Suggestions are given for activities to use to introduce common and decimal fractions. Models are used initially and symbols are introduced slowly. Decimals are related to common fractions. (MP)
Descriptors: Concept Formation, Decimal Fractions, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics

Spero, Samuel W.; Koehler, Mary – Two-Year College Mathematics Journal, 1977
A computer program generates sets of simultaneous linear equations for students to solve; the program also solves the systems and provides teachers with solutions. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, College Mathematics, Computer Assisted Instruction, Computers

Duea, Joan; Ockenga, Earl – Arithmetic Teacher, 1987
Several problems that can be used with calculators are provided. Teaching tips and references are included. (MNS)
Descriptors: Calculators, Elementary Education, Elementary School Mathematics, Learning Activities

Blake, Rick N. – Mathematics Teacher, 1984
Involving students in generating and solving their own problems is proposed. A method for generating problems by using a number puzzle is presented. Ideas for using the "what if not" technique are also given. (MNS)
Descriptors: Algebra, Mathematics Instruction, Number Concepts, Problem Sets

Maletsky, Evan M., Ed.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1979
The relationship between simple interest and compound interest is explored by using calculators to develop the required formula inductively and intuitively. (MP)
Descriptors: Calculators, Computation, Instruction, Instructional Materials

Prigo, Robert – American Journal of Physics, 1977
Describes and evaluates introductory physics homework problems done in conjunction with student-performed demonstrations. Discusses them within a process approach to instruction consistent with Piaget's developmental theory. (MLH)
Descriptors: Assignments, College Science, Demonstrations (Educational), Higher Education

Evans, Robert H. – Physics Teacher, 1990
Applications of physics concepts related to the activities of dinosaurs are presented. Problems of mass, speed and motion, and sound are discussed. Solutions to the problems are shown. (CW)
Descriptors: Computation, Mechanics (Physics), Paleontology, Physics

Fakler, Robert – Mathematics in School, 1990
Describes a model for geometrical probability. Presents two examples of basic theories of probability using geometrical probability. Provides three problems using the described theorem. (YP)
Descriptors: College Mathematics, Computation, Geometric Concepts, Higher Education

Korsunsky, Boris – Physics Teacher, 1995
Presents a few examples of not-so-traditional problems that can be very helpful in teaching some particular concepts or approaches in physics. Problem sets include vector addition and vector components, reference frames, and choosing the right approximations. (JRH)
Descriptors: Acceleration (Physics), Mechanics (Physics), Motion, Physics

Mathematics in School, 1990
Presented are eight student worksheets of block problems. Included are diagrams of the squares and hollow squares involved and a separate answer sheet for the problems. (CW)
Descriptors: Algebra, Learning Activities, Mathematical Applications, Mathematics Education
Brown, Stephen I.; Walter, Marion I. – 1983
The focus of this book is on a rationale and a set of strategies for problem generation in mathematics. Six chapters attempt to involve readers in the process of posing problems and in understanding why that process is important. Chapter 1 discusses two problem posing perspectives, while chapter 2 looks at the first phase of problem posing. The…
