This section contains four worksheets for games on estimation. Impact, Crossfire, Fire One, and Fire Two each require the use of calculators to focus on place value, multiplication, or division. (MNS)

Outdoor mathematics is the subject of four worksheets. The activities concern pacing to determine perimeter, estimating a kilometer, area of an irregular figure, and estimating the height of a tree. (MNS)

Presented is an activity for teaching linear algebra to grade 7 or grade 8 students. The activity is taken from the "Victorian Secondary Reality in Maths Education" (RIME) Pack. The activity called "Backtracking" builds on intuitions and understandings that students already possess. (RH)

Some activities with tangrams and their use for investigating fractions, constructions, and percentages are presented, with worksheets included. (MNS)

This series of four worksheets was developed for use by students in years seven-10. They concentrate on estimation of length, with the assumption that students will have many other estimation experiences. (MNS)

The properties of the cube are explored. A set of activities is given that forms the basis of a class project on discovery. (MNS)

Some number investigations on the multiplication table are provided by a sequence of four activity sheets. Beginning with examples of triangular and square numbers, the activities lead to the generalization. (MNS)

Presents teaching activities that are intended to be used to teach statistics to students in a high school mathematics program. Includes a worksheet of eight discussion questions on statistics, four activities on sampling bias, two experiments on sampling techniques, and a game known as "capture-recapture." (TW)

Several sample problems from the "Ladies Diary," published in the early 1700s, are reviewed. They provide a fascinating glimpse of the mathematics considered useful in the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries. (MP)

A discussion of the mathematics of rugby is related to an earlier article about mathematics and the physical world. (MP)

Geometric construction problems are recommended as sources of stimulating exercises for mathematics classes. (MP)

The material examines aspects of Fibonacci and Lucas sequences, the generation of the Divine Ratio, and the nature of this ratio in golden rectangles, triangles, and figures made up of golden triangles. It is noted Lucas sequence is formed like Fibonacci but has one and three as the first elements. (Author/MP)

Details of an instructor's attempt to solve a problem in combinatorics taken from a textbook used by some of his students are presented. It is felt the material raises a number of significant points about problem solving and mathematics. Teachers are encouraged to put themselves in such situations. (MP)

Several kinds of special dice are displayed and the various winning probabilities in games that could be played with them are discussed. Patterns for dice construction are provided. (MP)

Two examples are given of ways traffic engineers estimate traffic flow. The first, Floating Car Method, involves some basic ideas and the notion of relative velocity. The second, Maximum Traffic Flow, is viewed to involve simple applications of calculus. The material provides insight into specialized applications of mathematics. (MP)
