As we prepare for the day envisioned by the Curriculum ond Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics (NCTM 1989), when every student will have a calculator and every class will have at least one computer available at all times, we need to reexamine the roles of computation, estimation, and mental mathematics in the teaching and practice of mathematics. It is true that calculators and computers can perform virtually all computations, relieving us and our students of much drudgery; however, this is not their only role. Calculators and computers also make it easy for us to solve problems in a new mode, T-E-M-T-T: trial, error, and modified trial through technology.

The function game is a powerful and motivating tool for engaging middlegrades students in mental mathematics, problem solving, communication, and inductive reasoning (Rubenstein 1996). The game can also be used to help students achieve the goals of NCTM's Algebra Standard for grades 6–8; that is, to “represent, analyze, and generalize a variety of patterns with tables, graphs, words, and, when possible, symbolic rules” (NCTM 2000, p. 222). (For a simple electronic version of the game, use the applet on the CD-ROM in Cuevas and Yeatts [2001].) This article will show how the function game format serves as a launchpad to help students build, distinguish, and translate between two basic forms of patterns.

This article shares ideas for using the calendar date to increase students' mental mathematics and problem-solving skills. Postscript items are designed as rich grab-and-go resources that any teacher could quickly incorporate into his or her classroom repertoire with little effort and maximum impact.
