Statistics is assuming a new role in the mathematics curriculum for K-12 students. This bulletin presents excerpts from papers on two studies that were carried out to develop a knowledge base that would enhance statistics instruction in middle school classrooms. The first paper, "Statistics in Middle School: An Exploration of Students' Informal…

The document opens with an editorial comment discussing the role of mathematics in teaching and learning. Then, 13 reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Three of the reports deal with problem solving, and another three look at aspects of cognitive development. There are two each on mathematics instruction,…

Six papers discuss concerns and research in mathematics education and reflect the diversity of approaches used in addressing substantive issues related to mathematics teaching and learning. Student, curriculum, and teacher are considered in empirical and conceptual studies, each of which also presents a review of the literature. (SLD)

Fourteen research reports related to mathematics education are abstracted and analyzed. Five studies deal with aspects of mathematics instruction, and there are four reports each on mathematics achievement and on two cognitive processes. The remaining items concern calculators, attitudes, and aptitude-treatment interaction. Research related to…

Abstracts of 12 mathematics education research reports and critical comments (by the abstractors) about the reports are provided in this issue of Investigations in Mathematics Education. The reports are: "More Precisely Defining and Measuring the Order-Irrelevance Principle" (Arthur Baroody); "Children's Relative Number Judgments:…

Abstracts and comments are presented for 11 studies. There are two each on aspects of problem solving, mathematics achievement, and estimation. The remainder cover topics related to cognitive development, cognitive processes, evaluation, numeration, and student errors. Research as reported in RIE and CIJE between July and September 1982 is also…

This is the 12th annual listing of research on mathematics education. The research noted is alphabetically organized by author(s) within the following three categories: (1) research summaries; (2) journal-published reports; and (3) dissertation abstracts. Grade or age level is indicated for each reference. Included in the listing are studies in…

Math Notebook is a publication issued 10 times a year, with each issue focusing on a particular learning problem in mathematics and its diagnosis and remediation through practical, workable strategies for use by teaches, parents, and tutors. All the articles were written by Mahesh C. Sharma, with the exception of "The Japanese Soroban," by Frances…

This issue contains abstracts and critical comments for 10 papers. The reports are concerned with: (1) children's inferencing behavior; (2) instruction related to problem-solving and basic skills for seventh grade students; (3) remediation of children's subtraction errors; (4) investigation of young children's academic arithmetic contexts; (5)…

This issue contains abstracts and critical comments for 11 articles. Three articles focus on problem solving; the remainder concern understanding of the equals sign, mathematical structure, mathematical abilities, the role of language in tasks involving sets, sex differences in mathematical errors, subtraction, algorithms as schemes, and…

This issue of the journal contains abstracts and critical comments for 10 published reports on research in mathematics education. The reports concern children's school mobility and achievement, preservice teachers' sources of decisions, spatial visualization in boys and girls, rote versus conceptual emphases in teaching probability, using drawings…
