It is argued that mathematics is more than computation and that a mathematics curriculum with a broad base to keep career options open is essential. (MP)

Five regional conferences designed for elementary supervisors and elementary mathematics educators were held in Ohio. The purposes of the conferences were: (1) to provide direction on the effective use of the calculator in the elementary school classroom; (2) to re-emphasize the importance of problem solving as a major curricular outcome; (3) to…

Research related to mathematics education which was reported during 1974 is listed. Brief annotations are provided for journal articles and dissertations. (SD)

The study involved the collection of (1) research reports, published through 1968, including journal articles and dissertation abstracts, and (2) information on developmental projects, supplemented by ERIC documents on funded research and Title III project reports. The journal articles were analyzed, categorized on ten aspects, evaluated, and…

This volume of the Final Report on the Interpretive Study of Research and Development in Elementary School Mathematics contains materials which are most appropriate for the researcher. Whether he is working at the pre-doctoral level or the post-doctoral level, the researcher has a recurrent need to know the results of previous research, and the…

To gather the information for this section, visits were made to each of ten major curriculum development projects. These were selected because of the impact which each has had on curriculum reform--past, present, and future. It was not possible to visit every project, and several of the more significant ones, such as the Greater Cleveland…

The Interpretive Study of Research and Development in Elementary School Mathematics was designed to attack the problem of applying research in the classroom by providing a compilation of the research and a synthesis of the findings. The purpose of Phase II of the Study was to develop materials which could be readily used and disseminated. A set of…

This newsletter summarizes findings from the research on secondary school mathematics published during 1972 that might be used by teachers. Covered is research on the role of materials, mathematics laboratories, computers and calculators, informing students of objectives, student computational achievement, course organization patterns, personality…

This volume presents an annotated listing of research reports related to the teaching of college mathematics. Included in the listing are 513 journal articles, 771 dissertations, and 74 other documents which were produced during the period from 1900 through 1974. A brief annotation indicates the focus of each research document and a major finding…

This prospectus proposes the development, by a consortium of states and provinces working with the Agency for Instructional Television, of television programs to teach measurement with the metric system. The scope and meaning of the metrication process are described, with affective as well as cognitive factors noted. Following a review of how the…

This newsletter summarizes findings from research on elementary school mathematics published during 1972 that might be used by teachers. Covered is research on addition and subtraction sentences, algorithms, problem solving, instructional materials, teacher questioning patterns, cognitive levels, instructional sequences, motivation, and logic.…

The annotated bibliography formed by this and SE 013 620 is an extensive reference source for educators and researchers who teach and study secondary school mathematics. This volume lists 780 research reports found in the ERIC records and in 59 journals published in the United States from 1930 through 1970. The studies are listed under…

This part of the study described in SE 013 619 lists 770 doctoral dissertations which were completed in the United States from 1930 through 1970 and which dealt with mathematics education at the secondary level. The same style of cataloging and annotation is used as in Volume I. Because the listing was made from "Dissertation Abstracts,"…

On behalf of the Editorial Panel of the "Arithmetic Teacher," the authors outline a concensus concerning the importance of computational skills in the mathematics curriculum. Ten specific points are made concerning the needs of the student, classroom practice, the nature of computational learning, and needed research. (SD)
