Details of a scope-and-sequence outline for problem solving in the elementary mathematics program of the Philadelphia School District are provided. The emphasis is seen to be on process rather than product. Information about the first 18 of 21 levels in the problem-solving strand is provided. (MP)

An elementary mathematics curriculum, the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP), is discussed in terms of program philosophy, materials used, and the evaluation done so far. (MK)

A brief description is presented of a curriculum offered in one school system that applies much of the available research on how children learn. Materials used, goals for instruction, concepts emphasized, and intellectual processes engaged in each of grades kindergarten through third are noted. (MP)

Presents the computation and estimation strands of the "National Statement on Mathematics for Australian Schools." Recommends that the computational curriculum in schools reflect a more balanced time allotment among written, mental, estimating, and calculator computations. (MDH)

An elementary school project using computers to enhance the teaching of basics in mathematics, language arts, and early learning is described. (MP)

A framework for a computer literacy module is detailed, through a description of one that has evolved in schools in Fairport, New York. It is noted that the availability of computer-literacy instructional materials is increasing substantially, but a specific curriculum is sorely lacking. (MP)

Describes the Agam program, a 36-unit curriculum program to introduce students to basic visual concepts and that applies visual abilities and visual thinking to learning tasks. Describes two units at the third grade level, "Ratio and Proportion" and "Numerical Intuition," and makes observations of the students' learning. (MDH)

A project in which teams of preservice teachers were grouped with teams of seventh grade students and worked cooperatively on a set of assignments is described. The plan, project, implementation, results, and summary are presented. (KR)

Provides a rationale and overview of the content of the working draft of the Curriculum and Evaluation Standards for School Mathematics, developed by the National Council of Teachers of Matematics. (PK)
