Cundy, H. M.; Higgins, J. – Mathematical Gazette, 1971
This article is in two parts: discussion of mathematical concepts involved in converting the reading from the tape-recorder counter which counts the turns of the run-off spool to that from the counter which counts turns of the take-up spool; calculating the length of tape run off when given the reading from the tape-recorder counter of the run-off…

Foerster, Paul A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1980
Information about a student-run mathematics tournament is presented. Included are sample test questions created by students. (MP)
Descriptors: Mathematical Enrichment, Problem Sets, Secondary Education, Secondary School Mathematics
Mathematics Teaching, 1980
Four different types of problems from graph theory are presented and discussed. (MK)
Descriptors: Algorithms, Graphs, Higher Education, Mathematical Applications

Crawford, Harry – Australian Mathematics Teacher, 1978
Five graded sets of examples of alphametrics are provided. The puzzles are suggested for use in developing the traits of considering all possibilities and systematic working. (MP)

Robinson, Katherine M.; Arbuthnott, Katherine D.; Rose, Danica; McCarron, Michelle C.; Globa, Carin A.; Phonexay, Sylvia D. – Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, 2006
Age-related changes in children's performance on simple division problems (e.g., 6 divided by 2, 72 divided by 9) were investigated by asking children in Grades 4 through 7 to solve 32 simple division problems. Differences in performance were found across grade, with younger children performing more slowly and less accurately than older children.…

Campbell, J. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1975
Questions and answers to biochemistry four topics are presented. Items include fatty acid synthesis, reaggregation of sponge cells, enzymic degradation of pollutants, and energy requirements of organisms. (RWH)
Descriptors: Biochemistry, Chemistry, College Science, Higher Education

Bradley, A. Day – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
The history of alligation problems as a part of the mathematics curriculum is briefly reviewed, and the non-unique nature of the solutions to many problems is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Curriculum, History, Mathematical Applications

Campbell, J. A. – Journal of Chemical Education, 1975
Three questions and answers involving chemistry are presented. Question one involves elimination of reptiles from the earth; the second considers chemical effects on taste acuity; the third relates to muzzle velocity of a projectile fired from a gun and temperatures inside the cartridge. (MLH)

Hodges, Daniel L. – 1980
Research indicates that students' learning performance can be improved through techniques of "action-feedback-correction," which involves the student answering questions, feedback on which answers are right and which wrong, and repetition of the process until the right answer is achieved. Such a system can easily be devised using objective…

Indiana Univ., Bloomington. Mathematics Education Development Center. – 1977
This problem deck is designed for use after having covered the material in an accompanying skills booklet. It provides for further use of the skills with problems involving four skills at five levels of difficulty. The four skills involve using guesses as a strategy in solving computation problems, two-step problems, situations that require…
