At grade 7, Common Core's content standards call for the use of long division to find the decimal representation of a rational number. With an eye to reconciling this requirement with Common Core's call for "a balanced combination of procedure and understanding," a more transparent form of long division is developed. This leads to the…

AN INTERIM UNIT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ASSIST TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN MAKING THE TRANSITION TO A CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS PROGRAM. EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT ANY INTRODUCTORY WORK DURING THE YEAR PRECEDING THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW PROGRAM HAS MADE THE FIRST YEAR CONSIDERABLY EASIER AND MORE PROFITABLE FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND PUPILS. EACH CONCEPT…

This curriculum bulletin is the second part of "Mathematics--Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, and Grade One." This is a developing curriculum program that incorporates the pre-kindergarten into the educational system and reorganizes mathematics materials in the early childhood years. The materials in this bulletin deal with numbers and operations…

Describes why a traditional arithmetic curriculum is no longer appropriate. Also presents the rationale behind some of the newer methods of mathematics instruction in the elementary schools. (BD)

Discussed are possible lessons for teaching prime numbers, composite numbers, factoring, and fractions. (CT)

This curriculum bulletin is one of a planned series of bulletins designed to meet the needs of teachers and supervisors who are working to improve the achievement level of mathematics in the schools. The eighty sequential units of this bulletin are organized into 3 categories - (1) Sets, number and numeration, (2) Operations, and (3) Geometry and…

This pamphlet is designed for use as enrichment material for able junior and senior high school students who are interested in mathematics. No more than a clear understanding of basic arithmetic is expected. Students are introduced to ideas from number theory and modern algebra by learning mathematical ways of coding and decoding secret messages.…

Introduction of number sets to elementary school children should be approached with caution, used to clarify rather than confuse a situation. (WM)
