Five studies were conducted to investigate the relationship between short term memory (STM) and long term memory (LTM), and the relationship between STM and problem solving. In study I, the necessity of postulating separate learning processes for tasks which are traditionally classified as STM tasks as opposed to LTM tasks was investigated.…

Demonstration programs, possible assignments for students (with solutions), and remedial drill programs for students to use are presented to aid teachers using a computer or a computer terminal in the teaching of algebra. The text can be followed page by page or used as a well-indexed reference work, and specific suggestions are made on how and…

Three review segments of the Self-Paced Physics Course materials are provided in this volume which is arranged to match study segments 1 through 14. Each of the three segments is composed of a set of problems and solutions, and accompanied by its own individual study guide. The problem set is designed as a back-referencing system, and the…

This workbook contains 50 undergraduate physics problems designed for use in conjunction with a computer in a time-sharing mode. Each of the problems includes a statement of the problem topic, a background description of the problem, problem objectives, suggested readings, and a related graph or figure. Various topics in general physics are…

Given are activities involving the use of triangles and triangle paper, in the form of problems that require searching for different possibilities to fit a given condition. (MP)

A problem from number theory is used to illustrate the use of the computer and programable calculators in solving problems. Programs are included. (MP)

Statistical laboratory exercises designed to promote better understanding of statistical concepts in an introductory non-calculus statistics course are illustrated. The exercises make extensive use of data that are individually generated by tables of random digits or by computer. (MN)

The article includes a discussion of counting and counting strategies. In addition, there are eight problem sets appropriate for use with groups of different age and ability levels. Suggestions are given for finding variations of the problems. (PK)

This section presents four worksheets for grades 1-8 on problem-solving activities with a "things to do this summer theme." Problems relate to a county fair, a library summer reading program, camp, and summer jobs. (MNS)

The author suggests that experience in school with math and other problem-solving strategies can help provide children with skills necessary for addressing the more difficult problems they encounter outside the controlled school environment. Sample problem-solving strategies are provided. (Author/SJL)
