Johanning, Debra I. – School Science and Mathematics, 2007
This article will share results from research that investigated how sixth-, seventh-, and eighth-grade students who had not been exposed to formal algebraic methods approached word problems of an algebraic nature. Student use of systematic guess and check, the predominate approach taken by these students, is the focus. The goal is to consider the…

Ellington, Aimee J. – School Science and Mathematics, 2006
Forty-two studies comparing students with access to graphing calculators during instruction to students who did not have access to graphing calculators during instruction are the subject of this meta-analysis. The results on the achievement and attitude levels of students are presented. The studies evaluated cover middle and high school…

Flores, Alfinio – School Science and Mathematics, 2006
This article presents ways in which students ascertain that what they have learned in mathematics is true. Students in the middle school (and a few from other grades) were interviewed by prospective and in-service teachers. Students were asked what they had learned recently in mathematics and how they knew it was true. The answers were grouped by…

Dirkes, M. Ann – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Describes an attempt to promote both mathematical and nonmathematical problem solving. Suggests that the goals for the average mathematics course need revision, in practice, or additional courses introduced, which will develop thinking ability as a primary objective. (EB)

Bader, William A. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Describes the use of a scientific phenomenon related to the concept of surface tension as an intriguing vehicle to direct attention to useful problem solving techniques. The need for a definite building process in attempts to solve mathematical problems is stressed. (EB)

Brown, Gerald W.; Kinney, Lucien B. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Observing that the ninth-grade general mathematics course has been relatively unaffected by recent curricular changes, the author calls for reexamination of the purposes of this course. Problem solving, vocabulary, and aesthetic appreciation in mathematics are addressed. (SD)

Sloyer, C. W.; Crouse, R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
An "up-to-date" application of algebraic techniques is described. The authors suggest that many such applications can be derived from newspapers and other sources. (SD)

Hirsch, Christian R. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
The author argues that the "least number principle" (well-ordering for positive integers) is more intuitively acceptable to high school students than mathematical induction which can be derived from it. (SD)

Duncan, David R.; And Others – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Weather data gathered from the local newspaper can be used in teaching a unit on statistics. (SD)

Baumann, John R.; Carter, Larry L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
In an experimental approach to the teaching of General Mathematics, students work individually on projects; two teachers work together with the class. Although evaluation is incomplete, the authors feel the approach has had a positive effect on student motivation. (SD)

Nadler, Maurice – School Science and Mathematics, 1976
Problems in space geometry are discussed. Studying the equilateral triangle through its involvement in the solution of applied problems is advocated. (SD)

Balka, Don S. – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
Many fundamental geometric figures can not be constructed on the familiar square geoboard (e.g., equilateral triangle, regular hexagon). Activities which can be used with an isometric geoboard for study of these figures are catalogued. (SD)

Brown, Lois – School Science and Mathematics, 1975
After arguing that secondary students are often inept at solving word problems, and that this may be caused by their disinterest in the problems typically presented, the author presents eleven problems she considers to be more relevant to student interests. (SD)
