Borasi, Raffaella; Agor, Barbara – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1990
Recent contributions from theory, research, and practice in second-language instruction are discussed in relation to mathematics education. Three methods of teaching and learning second languages are described--"Delayed Oral Production," the "Silent Way," and the "Counseling Learning/Community Language Learning." (KR)

Drost, Dale R., Ed. – Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group, 1981
These papers from the fifth annual meeting of the Canadian Mathematics Education Study Group are organized similarly to the meeting, presenting materials from the lectures, working groups, special groups, and panel groups, as well as ad hoc groups. Iverson delivered one lecture on computer programming, stressing the place of APL, while Kilpatrick…

Linton, M. J.; And Others – 1987
Use of a computer programming language in problem-solving activities provides an opportunity to examine how young children use a restricted set of language primitives. The generation, and execution of computer instructions was used as a verification stage in the problem-solution process. The metric is intended to provide a descriptive…

Bell, A. W.; And Others – 1983
This first volume of a review prepared for the Cockcroft Committee of Inquiry into the Teaching of Mathematics in Schools in Great Britain, and its main conclusions were incorporated in their report, "Mathematics Counts." Its aim was to display the main outcomes of research relevant to the teaching and learning of mathematics. The…

Bradley, Carol A. – 1988
This paper argues that two serious flaws are present in current mathematics learning and instruction: (1) the lack of meaning in students' mathematical knowledge; and (2) students' inability to communicate using appropriate mathematical language and ideas. The study explored the relationship between mathematics language facility and mathematics…

Mei, Dolores M.; And Others – 1987
The Math Skills Program of the New York City Public Schools is designed to provide remediation in mathematics for students who have mathematics scores that are two or more years below grade level, or who have failed the Mathematics Regents Competency Test. During the 1985-86 school year, 58,192 students from 113 high schools participated in the…
