* := Don't worry about proper exposition on this assignment. This is a long
assignment, and I don't need you fretting about the right way to present
arithmetic. Just get 'em done.
** := If true, explain why it follows from what you have already taught the
student; if false, give a counter-example.
*** := Reread the justification/discussion for the Euclidean algorithm on page
319.

S.IV: (postponed from Oct 23)
find an interesting activity either in the series
Mathematics teaching in the middle school (library call number
QA13.M37) or in the series Teaching children mathematics
(library call number AQ135.A6). For example, I found a nice article
about the “nets” of a cube in the March 2009 issue of
TCM. (Don't use that one.)
In place of a reading quiz, you should submit a photocopy of the article,
together with a short discussion about why you picked it and how you
might implement it.
