What Works Clearinghouse Rating
Peer reviewedLesser, Lawrence M. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Focuses mainly on a common example in technology-rich mathematics curricula, namely the line of best fit, followed by a discussion of two additional examples, interpolating polynomials and complete graphs. (ASK)
Descriptors: Educational Technology, Graphing Calculators, Graphs, Mathematics Activities
Peer reviewedRyden, Robert – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Presents activities that combine astronomy problems with algebra, geometry, trigonometry, data analysis, and physics. Provides experiences for students in making distance measurements themselves by using the method of parallax. (ASK)
Descriptors: Algebra, Astronomy, Geometry, Mathematical Applications
Peer reviewedDuke, Johnny I. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Introduces service learning and explores how it can be used in mathematics education. Relates experiences of using service learning in mathematics classes. (ASK)
Descriptors: Experiential Learning, Mathematics Education, Secondary Education, Service Learning
Peer reviewedAustin, Suzanne S.; Berceli, Charlotte L.; Mathews, Sarae – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Shares the experiences of intermediate algebra course instructors at a large urban community college in using a service-learning project to help students understand and appreciate the mathematics they were studying. (ASK)
Descriptors: Algebra, Community Colleges, Experiential Learning, Mathematics Education
Peer reviewedKane, Jill A. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Presents an activity in which students use their skills as creative thinkers and writers and combine them with their knowledge of geometry to create their own class Book of Creative Geometry. (ASK)
Descriptors: Content Area Writing, Geometry, Mathematics Activities, Mathematics Instruction
Peer reviewedBrown, Alan R. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Introduces a project in which students use dynamic geometry software with a TI-92 graphing calculator to study geometric constructions. Concludes that interactive technology can enhance the geometry curriculum and better meet the needs of visual and tactile learners than the traditional approach. (ASK)
Descriptors: Educational Technology, Geometry, Graphing Calculators, Mathematics Activities
Peer reviewedSzetela, Walter – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Provides some examples of mathematics problems that have solutions involving triangular numbers. Illustrates the observation of number patterns from which conjectures and generalizations can be made. Suggests other extensions for further investigation. (ASK)
Descriptors: Mathematics Activities, Mathematics Instruction, Number Concepts, Patterns in Mathematics
Peer reviewedGreive, Cedric E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Describes a teaching approach that can make the deriving of the volume of a right circular cone a valuable problem-solving activity for upper secondary students. (ASK)
Descriptors: Geometric Concepts, Mathematics Activities, Mathematics Instruction, Problem Solving
Peer reviewedShi, Yixun – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Presents a mathematical analysis of the game "twenty-four points" that aims to apply arithmetic operations on the four numbers to reach a specific number. This game can improve children's ability to do mental arithmetic. (ASK)
Descriptors: Arithmetic, Educational Games, Elementary Secondary Education, Mathematics Activities
Maclaurin and Taylor Series for Transcendental Functions: A Graphing-Calculator View of Convergence.
Peer reviewedStick, Marvin E. – Mathematics Teacher, 1999
Presents a way to examine in depth the polynomial approximation of a transcendental function by using graphing calculators. (ASK)
Descriptors: Calculus, Educational Technology, Graphing Calculators, Mathematics Activities
