Abstract
The mathematics laboratory! It has been said that the laboratory is a place for “labor” at the sacrifice of “oratory.” How long has it been since your children were allowed to “do” some mathematics? The doing of mathematics has long been characterized as a man with a pencil and paper writing interesting abstractions in an organized fashion. Perhaps we have too often applied this definition to the learning of mathematics. H paper-and-pencil activity were restricted in an elementary school classroom, how would the teacher teach mathematics? Many of the articles in this issue of The Arithmetic Teacher are devoted to such questions. The mathematics laboratory offers exciting experiences for teacher and student al ike. As you read this issue of the journal you may wish to jot down ideas for the development of your own lea rning laboratory in mathematics.
