- Cross-Proportions: A Conceptual Method for Developing Quantitative Problem-Solving Skills
  Elzbieta Cook and Robert L. Cook
  Journal of Chemical Education2005 82 (8), 1187
  This paper focuses attention on the cross-proportion (C-P) method of mathematical problem solving, which was once widely used in chemical calculations. We propose that this method regain currency as an alternative to the dimensional analysis (DA) method, ...

- Evaluating Students' Conceptual Understanding of Balanced Equations and Stoichiometric Ratios Using a Particulate Drawing
  Michael J. Sanger
  Journal of Chemical Education2005 82 (1), 131
  A total of 156 students were asked to provide free-response balanced chemical equations for a classic multiple-choice particulate-drawing question first used by Nurrenbern and Pickering. The balanced equations and the number of students providing each ...

- The Mole, the Periodic Table, and Quantum Numbers: An Introductory Trio
  Raymond S. Ochs , Mali Yin
  Journal of Chemical Education2001 78 (10), 1345
  We suggest that three foundational ideas be presented at the start of an introductory chemistry course: the mole, the periodic table, and quantum numbers. Moreover, it is critical that nonessential detail be suppressed in order to provide a first-pass ...
