This manual addresses the problems involved in selection and training of teachers for using the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP), an experimental curriculum which emphasizes content well beyond the scope of the standard curriculum. A description of the proposed teacher training model is provided, and implementation specifications…

This volume is based on a conference on the teaching of probability and statistics held in 1969 by the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) and the Central Midwestern Regional Educational Laboratory (CEMREL). The purpose of the conference was to study a broad range of opinion on the teaching of probability and statistics and to…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…

This manual provides a brief discussion of the philosophy of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM) of the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP), a listing of its basic goals, discussion of the roles of logic and intuition in the program, and suggested models for implementation. Sections on independent study, teacher preparation for…

The notions of topological equivalence for one-, two-, and three-dimensional figures, as well as for graphs and networks, are developed for classroom use with children between the ages of three and ten. Properties of open and closed curves are also examined. This manual, addressed to the teacher, describes several activities related to each…

This volume, a part of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM), provides the student with an experience in developing a mathematical model for a "real-life" situation. After discussing the process of mathematization by reference to geometry, and presenting a flow-chart diagram describing the relationship of mathematical models to real…

A two-year modular mathematics program was developed by the Scottish Education Department; the results of pilot testing are discussed. The program consists of nine four-modular cycles. Groups of students work on different modules of the same cycle. Modules include worksheets, activity cards, and laboratory apparatus. (SD)
