This guide is a continuation of the series of guides starting with SE 012 723. The entire course is ungraded, but the material referred to in this guide would probably be covered in grade five or six. The concept of place value is studied more deeply using Dienes' Multiple Attribute Blocks, and used in the further development of formal algorithms.…

This guide is the seventh of a series of seven curriculum guides included in SE 012 723, SE 012 724, and SE 012 725, and concludes the primary school mathematics course (grades one through six in Victorian schools, Australia). It is expected that "a substantial majority of children leaving grade six will have completed Section H. Some…

This is an experimental SMSG mathematics text for junior high school students. Key ideas emphasized are structure of arithmetic from an algebraic viewpoint, the real number system as a progressing development, and metric and non-metric relations in geometry. Chapter topics include why study mathematics, decimal and non-decimal numeration, the…

This document offers instructional materials for a 32-hour course on math operations involving graphs/statistics, measurement (English and metric), geometry, exponential notation, and scientific notation as applied in the workplace. The course was part of a workplace literacy project developed by Mercer County Community College (New Jersey) and…

This document offers instructional materials for a 60-hour course on math operations involving decimals, fractions, proportions, statistics, probability, measurement, geometry, and linear algebra as applied in the workplace. The course was part of a workplace literacy project developed by Mercer County Community College (New Jersey) and its…

STARS (Secondary Training for Alaskan Rural Students) materials resulted from extensive rewriting of the Vocational Adult Secondary Training (VAST) materials produced by the British Columbia Department of Education, after those materials had been used with the 9th and 10th graders on Kodiak Island. Revision was done by teachers who had been using…

Research Ideas for the Classroom is a three-volume series of research interpretations for early childhood, middle grades, and high school mathematics classrooms. Each volume looks at research from the perspective of the learner, the content, and the teacher, and chapters are co-authored by a researcher and a teacher. Chapter titles in the middle…

A variety of suggestions for making the mathematics curriculum more meaningful and interesting to students are described. Activities that incorporate real-world situations are provided for verbal items, common and decimal fractions, estimations and rounding off numbers, large and small numbers, geometry, probability, and statistics. (KR)

Describes an activity that integrates the study of fractions, decimals, percents, rounding, Cartesian coordinates, probability, and statistics into a game using baseball statistics. (MKR)

This companion document to the instructor's guide for a course designed to prepare employees for statistical process control (SPC) training given at their workplace by refreshing math skills and building the concepts and vocabulary necessary to understand SPC in manufacturing environments. SPC-Prep 1 addresses the math skills necessary to perform…

Explains a new way of viewing Bayes' formula. Discusses the revision factor and its interpretation. (YP)

This instructor's guide contains materials for a course designed to prepare employees for statistical process control (SPC) training given at their workplace by refreshing math skills and building the concepts and vocabulary necessary to understand SPC in manufacturing environments. SPC-Prep 1 addresses the math skills necessary to perform SPC…

This is part two of a two-part SMSG text for grade eight students whose mathematical talents are underdeveloped. The reading level of this text has been adjusted downward, chapters shortened, and additional concrete examples included. Nevertheless, the authors warn that the text may not be appropriate for the very slow non-college-bound student.…

The National Science Foundation funded Calculators and Mathematics Project, Los Angeles (CAMP-LA) developed curriculum materials focused solely on the use of calculators. The project was developed in three stages. The first stage studied the mathematics curriculums from different states and identified topics that are not included but should be if…
