Direct linkJäder, Jonas; Lithner, Johan; Sidenvall, Johan – International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, 2020
A selection of secondary school mathematics textbooks from twelve countries on five continents was analysed to better understand the support they might be in teaching and learning mathematical problem solving. Over 5700 tasks were compared to the information provided earlier in each textbook to determine whether each task could be solved by…

Yang, Der-Ching; Lin, Yung-Chi – EURASIA Journal of Mathematics, Science & Technology Education, 2015
The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between Finnish and Taiwanese textbooks for grades 7 to 9 on the topic of solving systems of linear equations (simultaneous equations). The specific textbooks examined were TK in Taiwan and FL in Finland. The content analysis method was used to examine (a) the teaching sequence, (b)…

Xin, Yan Ping; Liu, Jia; Zheng, Xiaoning – School Science and Mathematics, 2011
This study compared one lesson across four U.S. "traditional" textbook series, two U.S. reform-based textbook series, and one Chinese mathematics textbook series in teaching the connection between multiplication and division. The results showed the differences across U.S. and Chinese lessons in both the teaching and the practice parts of…

The "Cognitive Tutor[R] Algebra I" curriculum, published by Carnegie Learning, is an approach that combines algebra textbooks with interactive software. The software is developed around an artificial intelligence model that identifies strengths and weaknesses in each individual student's mastery of mathematical concepts. It then…

Farmer, Jim – Australian Senior Mathematics Journal, 2005
The author of this article, while recently working through some problem sets on determining volumes by triple integrals in cylindrical and spherical coordinate systems, realized that, although the textbook he was using included many interesting problems involving spheres, cylinders and cones and the increasingly complex solids that arose from the…

Kennelly, Brendan; Considine, John; Flannery, Darragh – National Academy for Integration of Research, Teaching and Learning (NJ1), 2009
The use of computer-based automated assignment systems in economics has expanded significantly in recent years. The most widely used system is Aplia which was developed by Paul Romer in 2000. Aplia is a computer application designed to replace traditional paper-based assignments in economics. The main features of Aplia are: (1) interactive content…

Campbell, William E.; Kemp, Joyce C.; Zia, Joan H. – Mathematics Teacher, 2006
This article describes a problem-centered curriculum for grades 9-12, using problem sets developed by a mathematics department and designed to take the place of textbooks. The students discover mathematical concepts in the context of the problems and activities in the materials.

HERRICK, MERLYN C. – 1962
THIS STUDY WAS AN EXPERIMENTAL COMPARISON OF TWO METHODS OF PROGRAMING TEACHING MACHINES. THE BASIC RESEARCH HYPOTHESIS WAS THAT SUBJECTS WHO USED TEACHING MACHINE PROGRAMS WITH EXPOSITORY PRESENTATIONS INTRODUCED BY PROBLEM-SETTING QUESTIONS WOULD LEARN AND RETAIN MORE INFORMATION AND WOULD LEARN MORE RAPIDLY THAN SUBJECTS WHO USED TEACHING…

Peer reviewedRogers, Margaret Anne – Mathematics Teacher, 1975
The author has surveyed eight popular algebra texts in order to determine the extent of sex bias in the problem sets. Her findings, which show that, by and large, word problems embody the usual sex stereotypes, are described in detail. (SD)

Peer reviewedJay, Winifred T.; Schminke, Clarence W. – Arithmetic Teacher, 1975
Basing their conclusions on studies in which (1) textbook problems were classified by students and parents and (2) texts were coded on several variables (e.g. sexually stereotyped occupations), the authors find textbooks are biased. They suggest several teacher strategies for countering this bias. (SD)

Boston Univ., MA. – 1975
This book contains the eighth and ninth chapters of a pilot mathematics sequence for the seventh and eighth grades. The content of the sequence is to serve as a vehicle for the development of relevant computational skills, mathematical reasoning, and geometric perception in three dimensions and is to reflect the application of mathematics to the…
