This book contributes to a growing body of research relevant to efforts to make algebra an integral part of early mathematics instruction, an area of studies that has come to be known as Early Algebra. It provides both a rationale for promoting algebraic reasoning in the elementary school curriculum and empirical data to support it. The authors…

This textbook's main objective is to provide a connecting link between the study of arithmetic and algebra, and to show how to solve problems. It seeks to show practical applications of the theory discussed. While this book was designed originally for the use of those whose educational training had been limited, it has been so remodeled as to…

This textbook is a young mathematician's guide to mathematics. The following five parts are presented: (1) Arithmetick, vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all single powers; (2) Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and resolving equations is rendered easie;…

This textbook provides the foundation for a course in mathematics covering arithmetic, algebra, geometry, conic sections, and arithmetic of infinites. An appendix on practical gauging is included, as well as a supplement containing the history of logarithms. [This edition was corrected and improved by Samuel Clark.]

This textbook aims to present the mathematical sciences in clear, everyday language for apprentices, students and mechanics--willing, industrious, anxious to study at home, yet unable to give time or money for professional teaching. It is trusted that this effort to place before English-speaking students a treatise on arithmetic and algebra, freed…

This course is designed to prepare electronics personnel for further training in digital techniques, presenting need to know information that is basic to any maintenance course on digital equipment. It consists of seven study units: (1) binary arithmetic; (2) boolean algebra; (3) logic gates; (4) logic flip-flops; (5) nonlogic circuits; (6)…

In this book, author Catherine Jones Kuhns introduces student- and teacher-friendly math activities designed to get students thinking like mathematicians and loving mathematics, while addressing content standards through grade 2. She also shows how to make math fun for students, get children actively engaged in learning, create a student-centered…

This course is designed to review the arithmetic skills used by many Marines in the daily pursuance of their duties. It consists of six study units: (1) number systems and operations; (2) fractions and percents; (3) introduction to algebra; (4) units of measurement (considering both the metric and United States systems); (5) geometric forms; and…

This book features a comprehensive review of the Math Sense series and is designed to help students gain the range of math skills they need to succeed in life, work, and on standardized tests; overcome math anxiety; discover math as interesting and purposeful; and develop good number sense. Topics covered in this book include whole numbers;…

This textbook is first in a series of three volumes presenting a mathematics course for junior high school and six-year high schools. This volume covers arithmetic related to home, store, farm, industry, and bank; intuitional and constructive geometry; and introduces algebra. [For Book II, see ED623225. For Book III, see ED623226.]

The first document in this set is a final report titled "Preparation for the Mathematics GED Test: A Computer Based Program," which describes a project to develop a General Educational Development (GED) mathematics preparation program for the adult learner at the 9-12 grade level. The other two documents are a teacher's guide and a…

This collection of activities demonstrates how the study of elementary mathematics can be extended beyond the school and involve teachers and students in investigative, problem-based experiences. The activities include topics in geometry, concept of number, algebra, measurement, graphing, statistics, and probability, and are organized into five…

Since 1982, the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics has published a student periodical five times a year. Each four-page issue focuses on a single theme, developing it from a simple opening-page activity through more challenging extensions at a higher level of understanding. In this document each four-page issue published from September,…

This textbook is second in a series of three volumes presenting a mathematics course for junior high school and six-year high schools. This volume covers algebra, and arithmetic related to trade, transportation, industry, building, banking, corporations, home life, farming, community life, civic life, investments, and mensuration. [For Book I, see…

This book re-examines the dichotomy between the everyday and the disciplinary in mathematics and science education, and explores alternatives to this opposition from points of view grounded in the close examination of complex classroom events. It makes the case that students' everyday experience and knowledge in their entire manifold forms matter…
