One chapter of the fifth unit in this SMSG series for the general mathematics student covers the topics of writing equations, solving linear equations, using graphs to solve equations, inequalities, and solving inequalities. The second chapter discusses ratios and percents, decimal notation, decimal representation for rational numbers, rounding…

This teacher's guide and student guide are designed to accompany a general mathematics textbook that contains supplemental readings, activities, and methods adapted for secondary students who have disabilities and other students with diverse learning needs. The materials are designed to help these students succeed in regular education content…

This is part two 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. Included are chapters on the rational number system; parallels, parallelograms, triangles, and right prisms;…

The article discusses ways to make mathematics instruction with learning-disabled and other children more developmentally appropriate by building on children's informal understandings in active purposeful learning, using less direct instruction and paper-and-pencil work. Ideas are applied to the teaching of fractions. Instructional materials are…

This workbook is designed as an easy-to-read, slower-paced mathematics text for students who have learning, reading, and language problems. Helping students fulfill mathematics requirements for graduation is a goal; the book can be used as the core or supplement to the mathematics curriculum in mainstreamed or special education classrooms, in…

This book is intended to make common fourth-grade mathematical concepts both interesting and easy to understand. The text is designed to meet the particular needs of those children who have "accumulated discouragements" in learning mathematics. The reading level required of pupils has been reduced. Individual chapter titles are:…

This guide represents the final experimental version of a pilot project which was conducted in the United States between 1973 and 1976. The ideas and the manner of presentation are based on the works of Georges and Frederique Papy. They are recognized for having introduced colored arrow drawings ("papygrams") and models of our numeration…

This book contains the first seven chapters of a pilot mathematics sequence for the seventh and eighth grades. The content of the sequence is to serve as a vehicle for the development of relevant computational skills, mathematical reasoning, and geometric perception in three dimensions and is to reflect the application of mathematics to the social…

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.…

This unit is 1 of 12 developed for the university classroom portion of the Mathematics-Methods Program (MMP), created by the Indiana University Mathematics Education Development Center (MEDC) as an innovative program for the mathematics training of prospective elementary school teachers (PSTs). Each unit is written in an activity format that…
