This article describes a series of activities and worksheets to provide students with experience in graphing number pairs. Students at different lev els can use the activities to relate basic arithmetical operations to graphs. (Worksheets are included.) (SD)

Children at many levels enjoy using spinners to explore probabilities and practice predicting, tabulating and graphing outcomes, and observing results. Directions for making spinners, descriptions of several activities, and sample worksheets are provided. (SD)

Four activities and related worksheets are provided. The activities, all concerned with multiplication, are directed toward students at different levels, and deal with repeated addition, basic facts, and factorization. (SD)

This set of worksheets provides exercises related to making change, spending a fixed amount of money by "buying" items at listed prices, and deciding which of two quantities of coins has greater value. (SD)

The activities presented are all designed to encourage children to learn about the structure of whole numbers by looking at number patterns in various ways. (DT)

What are often missing for children in classroom instruction are experiences with numbers that stretch beyond computation skills and word problems. This lesson models such an experience for third graders. Students use small boxes of raisins in several problem-solving activities. Children apply whole number operations, estimate, consider…

This article (1) provides a review of "Anno's Counting House," a wordless picture-story and game that engages children in thinking about numbers; and (2) examines a classroom activity from which children learn that the same data, graphed differently, may support a variety of conclusions. (GLR)

Several activities are described for students at different elementary grade levels. Some involve estimation of quantities, and others include reasoning about permutations and combinations. (SD)

Mathematics textbooks tend to provide testing rather than teaching situations because of their heavy emphasis on symbolism. This article offers manageable ways to sequence mathematics instruction so that there are connective links from one level of understanding to the next. (JMF)

Specific strategies and examples for teaching mathematical computation skills are presented as samples of ways to teach starting with the concrete and ending with the abstract. (JMF)

Completing these worksheets leads students to discover patterns in the distribution of even numbers and numbers obtained by successive additions of 9 (primary grades). Worksheets for intermediate grades involve counting the number of factorizations for integers, and addition of the first nine whole numbers. (SD)

Using these worksheets students explore patterns in numerical and geometric processes, and predict the outcomes when the processes are iterated further. (SD)
