Middle Level Mathematics: Encouraging an Algebraic Mindset.
		This one of the articles in the seventh edition of Ideas and Resources for Teachers of Mathematics, a newsletter published by the Saskatchewan Mathematics Teachers' Society. The focuses of this issue is patterning and algebra. In this article Ed explores the questions Is it possible to introduce algebraic concepts to the middle level student without invoking uneasiness and fear? and How are we able to develop an algebraic mind set which will lead to successful algebraic abstraction at the secondary level? Included are samples of students' solutions to problems which are based on the discovery and analysis of patterns.

Recensement à l’école
		Recensement à l‘école est un projet international en ligne qui permet aux élèves de la 4e année au Cégep (12e année) de découvrir le monde des enquêtes et de la statistique. Les élèves remplissent de façon anonyme un questionnaire d‘enquête en classe. Les enseignants ont accès aux résultats d’enquête de leur classe sous forme de chiffrier qu’ils peuvent utiliser pour enseigner des notions de statistique. Recensement à l’école offre aux élèves une occasion unique de participer à la collecte et à l‘analyse de leurs propres données.
