A nine-session mathematics conference for ninth graders is described. Guidelines for preparing such a conference are suggested. (MK)

A "lab method" for solving quadratic equations is presented. Suggestions for applying the method in the classroom are given. (MK)

Four ideas for the teaching of mathematics topics are suggested. The suggestions are: "To Prove or Not to Prove--That Is the Question"; "Fun at Christmastime"; "A Simple Technique for Factoring Trinomials"; and "An Alternate Method for Factoring" Quadratic Trinomials." (MK)

Mathematical activities suitable for reproduction as worksheets are suggested. These activities are adaptations of the classic tower puzzle and are intended to help students discover patterns, make generalizations, and use the strategy of solving simpler problems in order to solve a more difficult one. (MK)

Four problems are presented and solutions using a calculator are illustrated. (MK)

A unit on the quadratic equation is described. The discovery approach is used and the computer is integrated into the study of mathematics. (MK)

A process for eliminating the xy term in a quadratic equation in two variables is presented. The author feels this process will be within the reach of more high school students than more commonly used methods. (MK)

A method of teaching multiplication facts to remedial students using fingers and an alternate geometric proof developed by students are suggested. (MK)

Using a geoboard to find polygons with given perimeters presents a problem which refines skills and provides an opportunity to inquire and discover. (MK)

A geometric model used to teach properties of rational numbers to college students is described. (MK)

A system of area measurement developed for the isometric geoboard is used to justify some relationships that are often proved using square units of area. (Author/MK)

The needs of above-average junior high school students are discussed. A set of 'daily twisters,' or problems of various types, were collected, and examples are noted. Recommendations on content and pedagogy are described. (MNS)

The density and Monte Carlo methods for approximating the area under a curve, without relying on calculus, are given. A computer program is included. (MNS)

Example of magic tricks that can be used as an integral part of various lessons in arithmetic and algebra are given. Their mathematical basis is also discussed. (MNS)

This section includes brief articles on holding a 'metric review show,' the 'normal' approach to graphing, graphing polynomials by using the powers of the factors, and some sum derivations. (MNS)
