Peer reviewedCunningham, Helen – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The digits in 1776 can be used in a variety of mathematical activities (especially during the bicentennial year). (SD)
Descriptors: Elementary Secondary Education, History, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedPrichett, Gordon D. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
Geometric concepts and theorems can be discovered by high school students using the materials described. Among the topics explored are Platonic solids and Euler's formula. (SD)

Peer reviewedDavis, Edward J.; Smith, Thomas – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The converse of a familiar construction problem is explored, and a partial solution presented. The general problem is "Given a segment with length whose square is x, construct a segment with length 1." (SD)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction, Mathematics
Peer reviewedSpitler, Gail; Weinstein, Marian – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
An activity-based unit on congruence and similarity is described. The themes underlying the unit are the usefulness of analogy in determining mathematical principles, and the notion that the number of conditions imposed on figures affects the number of factors which must be specified to insure congruence or similarity. (SD)

Peer reviewedLepowsky, William L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The similarity between two apparently dissimilar problems is explored. Pascal's triangle is involved. (SD)
Descriptors: Instruction, Mathematical Models, Mathematics, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedGreitzer, Samuel L. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The problems, solutions, and results of the fourth annual contest are presented. (SD)
Descriptors: High Achievement, Mathematics Education, Problem Solving, Secondary Education
Peer reviewedPedersen, Jean J. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The use of paper folding to study properties of geometric solids is discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Curriculum, Geometric Concepts, Geometry, Instruction
Peer reviewedCurcic, Barbara – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
Thoughts of diverse individuals concerning mathematics are reprinted. Quotations are presented in four categories: philosophical, aesthetic and creative, emotional, and scientific. The author opines that the classroom use of such quotations can provoke thought about the nature of mathematics. (SD)
Descriptors: History, Instruction, Mathematical Enrichment, Opinions
Peer reviewedFlener, Frederick – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
An annual mathematics contest which includes oral presentations by participants is described. (SD)
Descriptors: High Achievement, Mathematical Enrichment, Mathematics Education, Secondary Education

Three worksheets for use in studying triangular, square, and pentagonal numbers are presented. (SD)
Descriptors: Instruction, Instructional Materials, Learning Activities, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedGrant, Susan J.; Stewart, Ward R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The authors recommend introducing complex numbers by first studying the integers modulo seven. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Curriculum, Instruction, Mathematical Models
Peer reviewedWellen, Darrell – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
Solutions to systems of linear equations with coefficients related to each other by an arithmetic progression are discussed. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Curriculum, Instruction, Mathematics
Peer reviewedJohnsonbaugh, Richard – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The use of machinery to compute numbers approaching a limit is discussed. A convergence theorem and several examples are provided. (SD)
Descriptors: Algebra, Calculators, Calculus, College Mathematics
Peer reviewedStrauss, Aaron – Mathematics Teacher, 1976
The early development of computers and computer technology is traced, and the relationship of the computer and mathematics is discussed. (SD)
