Reported are the suggestions indicated by research studies to seven questions concerning what is known about the teaching and learning of mathematics. (1) What factors influence the learner's achievement? Answer: Age, intelligence, and the amount of structuring present in the materials. (2) Are there guides for motivation? Answer: Games, concrete…

Research findings on children's understanding of fractions, gleaned from interviews, are briefly noted. (MNS)

The annotated bibliography formed by this and SE 013 620 is an extensive reference source for educators and researchers who teach and study secondary school mathematics. This volume lists 780 research reports found in the ERIC records and in 59 journals published in the United States from 1930 through 1970. The studies are listed under…

This part of the study described in SE 013 619 lists 770 doctoral dissertations which were completed in the United States from 1930 through 1970 and which dealt with mathematics education at the secondary level. The same style of cataloging and annotation is used as in Volume I. Because the listing was made from "Dissertation Abstracts,"…

Research on mathematics learning is integrated and organized around groups of questions emerging from the primary classroom. Subjects covered include attitudes, diagnosis, readiness, effective use of concrete and manipulative materials, the role of language and vocabulary, presentation of specific content and techniques, selection of algorithms…

This bulletin provides an overview of research studies which relate to the teaching of certain mathematical topics in the elementary school. The studies cited pertain directly to the following questions: (1) What measurement and geometry is included in textbooks and programs? (2) What do children know about geometry and measurement? (3) What can…

This listing of research related to mathematics education provides brief annotations for articles and dissertations (K-12) published in 1975. Studies on college-level and other post-secondary school levels are also listed, but without annotations. (SD)

Presents mathematics education research referenced alphabetically by author within three categories (research summaries, articles, and dissertations). Grade or age is indicated for each reference, and an index is included. Index topics include achievement, algebra, arithmetic operations, attitudes/anxiety, calculators/computers, cognitive style,…
