Three mathematics textbooks of different grade levels, compared with Chinese math textbooks of the same grades, were selected that were used in some of the middle schools in Clark County Schools District (CCSD). Systematical review of the three textbooks were made grade by grade in order to figure out "Are Our Math Textbooks a Mile Wide and…

The purpose of this paper is to present a summary of selected facets of geometry and measurement in elementary school programs and to describe curricula content options designed to demonstrate the feasibility of seeking high level outcomes and meanings for students with learning disabilities. While there are a multitude of published papers…

Since all manner of quantities require to be compared together, in mathematical computations, and their various relations searched out and determined and as most of our knowledge in mathematical subjects depends on the proportions of several things to one another: so it is requisite that the nature of proportion, and the methods of reasoning…

This textbook is a young mathematician's guide to mathematics. The following five parts are presented: (1) Arithmetick, vulgar, and decimal, with all the useful rules; and a general method of extracting the roots of all single powers; (2) Algebra, or arithmetick in species; wherein the method of raising and resolving equations is rendered easie;…

This textbook is a teaching manual for arithmetic, algebra, and geometry. Historical sketches on the subjects are included. Each topic is discussed in detail, and the teacher is advised along what lines to work, and how the work may be successfully accomplished.

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.]

"Transition Mathematics" aims to increase 7th- through 12th-grade students' skills in applied arithmetic, pre-algebra, and pre-geometry. This one-year curriculum also addresses general application to different wordings of problems, types of numbers, and contexts for problems and aims to promote mathematical reading skills. The curriculum…

For boys and girls who are prepared in the essential elements of arithmetic this later book proposes extended instruction in percentage and commercial transactions, and in the elements of geometry. It is one of a series of handbooks for pupils, and consists of progressive lessons, arranged mainly in topics, either reviewing the treatment in…

A summary of the contents of a Chinese mathematics book written in the third century. (MM)

This textbook is the third in the arithmetic series developed by the Ministry of Education in Saigon and used in all public schools in Vietnam. The books in this series have been reprinted in their entirety from the original editions, for use in elementary schools in the United States which have Vietnamese students. The Grade 3 text is divided…

Uses of the historical approach to the teaching of mathematics throughout the last century are discussed. Examples from turn-of-the-century tests are provided, and the place of history in Mathematics teaching today is explored. (SD)

In this text, the writers have relied on the SMSG kindergarten and first grade materials as a framework. This special edition is designed to meet the needs of disadvantaged children. Chapters 5 through 10 are included in this part. Chapter topics include: (5) Recognizing Geometric Figures; (6) Place Value and Numeration; (7) Addition and…

This workbook for elementary teachers presents basic definitions and examples in the areas of set theory, numeration systems, fundamental operations and geometry. Text organization does not use programming frames. Answers to examples are included in a separate section. (DT)

This is part one of a two-part SMSG mathematics text for junior high school students. Key ideas emphasized are structure of arithmetic from an algebraic viewpoint, the real number system, and metric and non-metric relations in geometry. Topics included are numbers; cardinal numbers; geometry of lines, points, and planes; geometry of angles,…
