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 textbook provides the foundation for a second-year high school mathematics course. It aims to teach "how to study" as well as the "content" of a second unit of secondary mathematics through the nature and form of the material, explicit exhibits, formulated tests of both sound and unsound reasoning, through study-helps,…

This textbook furnishes abundant material for an intelligent review of the mathematics given in a large number of high schools, and it is the hope of the authors that other teachers may find the book useful in the hands of their pupils. The first-year review is intended to cover the work ordinarily done in the first-year mathematics course of the…

Presented are eight student worksheets of block problems. Included are diagrams of the squares and hollow squares involved and a separate answer sheet for the problems. (CW)

The sign-chart method is often used to solve polynomial inequalities involving products or quotients. Presented are examples that extend this method to solve higher-degree polynomial, radical, exponential, logarithmic, absolute-value, and trigonometric inequalities and whose graphic representations lead to intuitive discussions of continuity.

This book is the result of the collaborative effort of nine AYA National Board Certified Teachers in Mathematics. Experiencing Mathematics, is a compilation of teacher-tested activities that prompt high school students to explore, conjecture and reflect on their mathematical adventures--thus "experience mathematics." The relevant nature of the…

Described is a mathematics resource laboratory where students use a variety of computer materials to enhance, reinforce, and broaden their concepts of first- and second-year algebra and geometry. Included are sample laboratory sheets and the answers. (KR)

This document provides teaching guidelines and student material for a unit intended for use in 12th grade algebra classes. Time allotment is from four to six hours of classroom time. The objective of this capsule is to teach students how to solve compound interest problems using arithmetic, logorithms, and calculators. Prerequisites for the unit…

This unit provides secondary school students with methods for comparison shopping of savings institutions. It contains both student materials and teacher's guide and is designed for individualized instruction. Approximate time for the unit is six hours. Activities include analyzing cartoons, defining the terms "savings" and…

This guide presents math-focused learning projects and accompanying inquiry activities to help students pass the math portion of the GED 2002. It is Volume 2 of a proposed four-volume series; Volume 1 describing the concept of the GED as project is also available. Section 1 relates GED as project to the math portion of the GED and explains how…
