Discussed are new media being used in classroom mathematics instruction; television, computers, programed materials, films, games, manipulative materials. (CT)

Index cards, masking tape, pizza shells, golf tees, and empty soda bottles can be used to make manipulative objects to be used in children's mathematics games. Twenty-two games that provide practice in number drills and problem solving are described, along with instructions for making objects needed for the games. (PP)

Geometry tiles can be used to develop and extend intuitive geometric concepts by helping children visualize geometric shapes and communicate spatial relationships. Eleven activities are described for introduction, basic concepts, geometric figures, transformations, and metric geometry. (MNS)

Ways in which bead strings can be used for reinforcement and concept development are noted. After discussion on how to make bead strings, the material looks at: (1) prenumber concepts; (2) more than, less than; (3) conservation of number and numerals and numerousness; (4) addition and subtraction; and (5) place value. (MP)

Presented is a game which helps children become familiar with a calendar. A caller reads call cards that have questions needing dates for completion. Examples of questions that apply to any month and questions that are for specific months are provided. (MP)

A calculator solution of a simple computational problem is discussed with emphasis on its ramifications for the understanding of some fundamental theorems of pure mathematics and techniques of computing. (Author/MK)

Two problem-solving posters with a Halloween theme are included. These activity sheets are designed to be easily reproduced for classroom use. (MP)

Worksheets designed to aid in the instruction of graphing on the Cartesian coordinate system are presented. Finding areas and perimeters of polygons the pupils graph are the intended lesson topics. (MP)

Three questions are used to structure an analysis of materials and the organization of the classroom in individualized education. (MK)

Measurement activities designed to lead students to see measurement as more than using a device for getting and recording data or applying formulas are described. The activities will help students develop insights into relating and comparing measurements of figures involving length, area, and volume. (MK)

Describes the Math Learning Center at Palm Beach Junior College which offers 21 courses of study, including all math courses through trigonometry and 11 general education math courses. Examines the implementation process and various program features. (DR)

Masters of worksheets containing flowchart activities are given. Sheets appropriate for levels 1 through 8 are included. (MK)

The possibility of improving problem-solving performance and increasing interest in mathematics by incorporating calculators in the mathematics curriculum was investigated. Results indicate that teachers can experiment with calculators in the classroom without fear of endangering computational skills and a thoughtful program integrating…

A discussion is given of the techniques for and advantages of using teaching aids based on the "rotogram." (MK)

The way in which one correspondence course was produced for use in Botswana, Lesotho, and Swaziland is described. It has implications for production of other correspondence materials as well as for the organization of writing correspondence courses anywhere. (LBH)
