Peer reviewedWilliams, David E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1978
Classroom activities that provide meaningful practice, and at the same time motivate students, are the subject of this article. Several activities appropriate for first-year algebra are discussed; e.g., a prepared matrix of algebraic numbers, cross-factor puzzles, and number tricks. (MP)

Peer reviewedMon, Gordon R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
A teacher relates the experiences he and his classes had as a result of nonverbal instruction in mathematics. He tapped creative resources within himself of which he was previously unaware and his students became more involved in formulating the rationales of the mathematics being taught. (JP)

Using play money, students buy and sell six types of stock certificates at prices determined periodically by tossing three dice; all students participate as investors, brokers, or banker. In addition to gaining practice on computational skills in a motivational game, students study the real stock market concurrently. (SD)

Peer reviewedHadar, Nitsa – Mathematics Teacher, 1982
It is felt teachers can adopt techniques of magicians to mathematics instruction whenever it seems appropriate. Ideas for a unit on the properties of odd and even integers are presented for teachers who enjoy some theatrics in the classroom. The goal is to teach mathematical ideas underlying magic tricks. (MP)

Peer reviewedWilliams, Horace E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1974
A method for generating 3x3 magic squares is developed. A series of questions relating to these magic squares is posed. An invesitgation using matrix methods is suggested with some questions for consideration. (LS)
