Forbes, Jack E. – National Council of Teachers of Mathematics Yearbook, 1973
Descriptors: Analytic Geometry, Course Objectives, Curriculum, Geometry
Josepher, Nelda; Temple, Aline – 1971
This is the second of a two quin series which introduces the student to all the theorems usually included in high school geometry; emphasis is on understanding and use of these theorems without proof. The course develops definitions and properties of the plane and solid figures and formulates methods for finding their linear measure, lateral and…

Henderson, Kenneth B., Ed. – 1973
The nature of geometry and the manner in which it should be taught are presented from various points of view. The Yearbook is in four parts. Part I has two articles on the role of informal geometry in school mathematics; one covers the elementary grade levels and the other, the secondary school. The authors of articles in Part II address…
