Abstracts of 12 mathematics education research reports and critical comments (by the abstractors) about the reports are provided in this issue of Investigations in Mathematics Education. The reports are: "More Precisely Defining and Measuring the Order-Irrelevance Principle" (Arthur Baroody); "Children's Relative Number Judgments:…

Presented are 13 articles which contain abstracts and analyses of research reports related to mathematics education. The first article considers six working papers, on a variety of topics, from E. G. Begle and the Stanford Mathematics Education Study Group. Of the remaining reports, two deal with problem solving, five with some aspect of learning…

Presented are student activities that involve two standard problems from geometry and calculus--the volume of a box and the bank shot on a pool table. Problem solving is emphasized as a method of inquiry and application with descriptions of the results using graphical, numerical, and physical models. (JJK)

This issue contains abstracts and critical comments for 10 papers. The reports are concerned with: (1) children's inferencing behavior; (2) instruction related to problem-solving and basic skills for seventh grade students; (3) remediation of children's subtraction errors; (4) investigation of young children's academic arithmetic contexts; (5)…

This issue of "Investigations in Mathematics Education" contains: (1) a review of E. Fischbein's book "The Intuitive Sources of Probabilistic Thinking in Children;" (2) nine abstracts of research studies in mathematics education; (3) a list (by EJ number) of mathematics education research studies reported in the January to…

Curricular development in undergraduate programs in the biological, physical, and mathematical sciences at a number of colleges and universities are described. One common theme is the continuing interest in computers in higher education. As the student bodies of many campuses become more heterogeneous with increasing enrollments of minorities and…
