The present mixed-methods quasi-experimental study (embedding a case study and a mixed factorial within-between ANOVA test), conducted in a private English school in Limassol, Cyprus, investigated how the use of the schematic learning aids (researcher-made color-coded flash-cards and grids) influence year-2 children's ability to read, write and…

"Improving Mathematics in the Early Years and Key Stage 1" reviews the best available evidence to offer five recommendations for developing the maths skills of 3-7-year olds. Recommendations include integrating maths into different activities throughout the day -- for example, at registration and snack time -- to familiarise children…

In the winter of 1965, an experimental course in Elementary Number Theory was presented to a 6th grade class in the Hosmer School, Watertown, Massachusetts. Prior to the introduction of the present material, students had been exposed in class to such topics from the University of Illinois Arithmetic Project as lattices, number lines, frame…

Describes adaptations of Mme Papy's minicomputer to the classroom. Specific examples include correlation with Cuisenaire rods, currency applications, and liquid measure applications. (RS)

This computer software program helps to make classroom worksheets, take home assignments, and school mathematics tests easy to design and manufacture. The accompanying printed teaching guide provides technical information for setting up and using the program, along with sample worksheets and instructions on how to create them using the software.…

The objective of this book is to identify those mathematical concepts which are relevant to elementary measurement, and to exhibit their logical interrelationships. The book was written with high school mathematics teachers in mind, but it is hoped that it will be useful also to elementary school teachers, science teachers, and college teachers.…

The main objective of this project was to develop effective multi-sensory aids for individual use by high school students who have not achieved a functional mastery of mathematics. Nineteen audiovisual devices directed specifically at the low achiever were developed from three specific devices--audio tape, audio tape with slides, and video tape.…

This guide continues instruction of the three guides in SE 012 723 and of the two guides included in SE 012 724. Counting skills, appreciation of pattern and order, and understanding of place value are extended to numbers up to one million, and the associative, commutative and distributive laws are made explicit. Manipulation of equations is…

Mathematical worksheets are presented for use in the elementary school classroom. The sheets deal with arithmetic and number patterns, one being for the primary grades, the other for grades 4 to 8. (RS)

This is a supplementary unit to Mathematics for High School, Intermediate Mathematics, Part 1. In this publication, real numbers and rules for operating them are examined. The study begins by examining whole numbers and some of the properties of addition and multiplication of whole numbers. Most of the basic rules for algebra are developed from…

This paper summarizes the developmental activities in mathematics conducted at the first grade level. Two instructional units of "Developing Mathematical Processes" were taught. The instructional units are described through a description of the activities that were tried, an explanation of evaluation procedures, and a report of the results of each…
