\begin{itemize}

\item {\bf Title:}

IN DISCRETE MATHEMATICS: Using Discrete Mathematics in the Classroom



\item {\bf Editors:}



Joseph G. Rosenstein, Rutgers University, joer@dimacs.rutgers.edu

Deborah S. Franzblau, CUNY/College of Staten Island, franzblau@postbox.csi.cuny.edu

Robert Hochberg, East Carolina University, hochberg@dimacs.rutgers.edu


\item {\bf Abstract:}



This module consists of the ten issues of a newsletter for K-12 teachers (with the same name) published by DIMACS between 1991 and 1999.  Each issue contains a number of articles by and for teachers at various grade levels dealing with a variety of topics and from a variety of perspectives.  A typical issue might have one article that features a particular area of discrete mathematics, several “teaching briefs” that give examples of how teachers have used discrete mathematics in their classrooms, an article that describes various resource materials dealing with a particular topic, an article that discusses mathematics in the news, and perhaps a cartoon or a puzzle.




\item {\bf Informal Description:}



By posting these newsletters as a DIMACS Module, we are making them available to a wider audience and providing all K-12 teachers with this valuable resource.


\item {\bf Target Audience:}



This module is intended for all K-12 teachers who are using, or who are interested in using, discrete mathematics in their classrooms.


\item {\bf Prerequisites:}



Many articles in the newsletters have no prerequisites.  In some cases, the reader will need to have had some prior exposure to the topics of the articles. 



\item {\bf Mathematical Field:}



The articles in the newsletters address a variety of topics of discrete mathematics.


\item {\bf Applications Areas:}



The articles in the newsletters address a variety of applications of discrete mathematics.


\item {\bf Mathematics Subject Classification:}



Primary 00A05, 00A35



\item {\bf Contact Information:}



Joseph G. Rosenstein, Department of Mathematics, Rutgers University, 110 Frelinghuysen Road, Piscataway, New Jersey 08854, joer@dimacs.rutgers.edu.


\item {\bf Other DIMACS modules related to this module:}
