Included in this set of materials is a description of an instructional model for elementary school mathematics, a curriculum guide developed by the elementary school teachers of the California Area School District, scope and sequence guides, and a teachers manual. The instructional model includes the use of pretests, posttests, prerequisites and…

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…

The development and implementation of the Midland Mathematical Experiment, a curriculum project for the secondary school level, is described. (DT)

This bulletin presents an overview of mathematics education in the sixties, both in the United States and abroad, and suggests similar trends in the seventies. It examines the revolution in mathematics in the past 100 years which led to a unifying reorganization of the subject. Specifically, the authors examine the restructuring of algebra,…

This document is a report on an International Working Session on New Teaching Methods for School Mathematics held at Athens, Greece, which was called to discuss developments since the 1959 Royaumont Seminar on "New Thinking in School Mathematics." Chapter I deals with the curriculum and, in addition to talks on specific topics, includes complete…

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…

The 1959 Royaumont seminar "New Thinking in School Mathematics," having agreed on the need for modernization, recommended that a second group of experts work out detailed synopses of the entire subject matter of secondary school mathematics. This book is the report of the second seminar and contains the Dubrovnik Program which stimulated…

Discusses problems related to the lack of mathematical competence in school physics, the contribution of modern math to the teaching of school physics, and the lack of cooperation between physics and math teachers. Presents a promising model to create a satisfactory liaison between math and science in the schools. (GS)

Reported are the results of an experimental course taught at the ninth grade level. The course included both modern and traditional topics in algebra. Presented are a rationale for the course, a list of the topics included in the course, a description of instructional techniques and methods used in presenting and developing some of the main ideas…

A workshop to develop a program for training primary school teachers was convened in 1969 by the Regional Centre for Education in Science and Mathematics (RECSAM) in Penang, Malaysia. Countries participating in the conference were Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Vietnam, Thailand, Phillipines, and Ceylon; consultants from the United States…

REPORTED ARE THE TENTATIVE VIEWS OF A GROUP OF MATHEMATICIANS ON THE CONTENT OF A PRE-COLLEGE MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM THAT MIGHT CONCEIVABLY REPRESENT THE TYPE OF PROGRAM WHICH WILL BE OPERATING IN A FEW DECADES. THE COMMITTEE PRESENTS ITS VIEWS, NOT AS A CURRICULUM GUIDE FOR ADMINISTRATORS AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATORS, BUT AS A BASIS FOR DISCUSSION,…
