The "modern mathematics" curriculum places considerably more emphasis on the use of precise terminology when referring to properties of whole numbers than did previous curricula. The relationship between the ability to make these verbal associations and other aspects of mathematics achievement of sixth graders is investigated in this study A…

Mathematical research, automation machinery, and automatic digital computing machines are among the causes for the revolution in mathematics curriculum. Author traces the history of mathematics development and future curriculum development. (RK)

Discusses how modern mathematical language can be used to develop chemical ideas in class. Examples for the application of Venn Diagrams and Flow Diagrams in teaching chemistry in the Nuffield courses are presented. (HM)

INVOLVING NINE SCHOOL SYSTEMS, THE PROJECT WAS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH EXPERIENCES THAT REFLECTED A VALID INTERPRETATION OF GOOD MATHEMATICAL THINKING, TO MAKE EXTENSIVE DATA COLLECTIONS TO DOCUMENT THE NATURE OF THE EXPERIENCES, TO ACHIEVE THE MOST EFFECTIVE POSSIBLE QUALITY CONTROL IN ASSURING THE RELEVANCE AND EFFECTIVENESS OF THE EXPERIENCES,…

THIS IS A SOURCE MANUAL TO ASSIST TEACHERS OF PROGRAMED ALGEBRA IN PROVIDING FOR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AMONG STUDENTS. THE MATERIAL WAS INTENDED FOR ASSIGNMENT TO SELECTED STUDENTS WHO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL MATERIALS TO SATISFY VARIOUS ABILITIES AND TALENTS. IN ADDITION TO REFERENCE LISTS ON FILMS AND FILMSTRIPS, PRINTED BIBLIOGRAPHIES WERE PREPARED…

This supplementary modern mathematics textbook is to help in-service teachers to broaden their background in mathematical concepts and ideas for grades 1 through 9. This in-service course was written with two basic objectives: (1) to help teachers to become familiar with some of the newer mathematical ideas and concepts for grades 1 through 9, and…

This learning module is designed to enable teachers to help children further develop their concepts of the meaning of numbers in our number system (including concepts of quanity, one-to-one correspondence, number order, before-after, greater than-equal to-less than, number patterns, and the structure of our number system). The module contains a…

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the appropriateness and effectiveness of current high school mathematics curricula for students in technical and vocational education programs. Students in 21 Wisconsin high schools were surveyed; administrators and chairmen of mathematics departments in these schools were also interviewed. Results…

Presents arguments for and against the viewpoint that the teaching of chemistry and of physics should fall in line with modern mathematics. Concludes that modern mathematics has been beneficial in some respects and harmful in others. (CS)

Presents four areas of advanced mathematical research (fuzzy set theory, subjective probability, search theory, and Voronoi diagrams) that are proposed for introduction into teacher education programs from an elementary, survey perspective without the intention of accomplishing formal mathematical research, thereby challenging teachers' beliefs…

Five open-ended problems are suggested which lead students to investigate basic number properties and numeration characteristics. (JP)

FOUR HYPOTHESES WERE CONSIDERED DURING THIS EVALUATION STUDY, NAMELY THAT THE TEACHING OF ARITHMETIC IN GRADES 4, 5, AND 6 BY THE MADISON PROJECT WILL--(1) PRODUCE AS GREAT AN INCREASE IN ACHIEVEMENT AS THE METHOD COMMONLY PRACTICED, (2) PRODUCE A GREATER INCREASE IN ALGEBRAIC APTITUDE, (3) PRODUCE A GREATER INTEREST IN MATHEMATICS, AND (4)…

A DESCRIPTION OF MATHEMATICS DRILL PROBLEMS AND ENRICHMENT ACTIVITIES HAS RESULTED IN A SOURCE MANUAL TO ASSIST TEACHERS OF PROGRAMED ALGEBRA IN PROVIDING FOR INDIVIDUAL DIFFERENCES AMONG STUDENTS. THE MATERIAL WAS INTENDED FOR ASSIGNMENT TO SELECTED STUDENTS WHO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL MATERIALS TO SATISFY VARIOUS ABILITIES AND TALENTS. IN ADDITION TO…
