Iberville Parish Schools, Plaquemine, LA. – 1974
This guide for a mathematics curriculum for grades 1-4 presents topics in sequential order for the entire four-year program. Grade level was not used for separating units; instead, an integrated sequencing of concepts was used in preparing this guide. The relationship between units is specified for the teacher as an explicit mapping of how a…

Shores, Jay H.; Underhill, Robert G. – 1977
To ascertain if children's use of manipulatives and/or the teacher's presentation of the problem in parts (chunking) affect children's ability to model and/or solve addition and/or subtraction problems, 146 first-grade subjects were administered the Houston Addition and Subtraction Problem-Solving Test which provided accuracy and modeling scores…

Hoile, Margaret Ann – 1974
In an attempt to prepare students for units analysis in the solution of problems in high school chemistry and physics, the author developed learning packets on the factor label method. Thirty-three students used these packets individually during a regular tenth-grade geometry class. There were two packets, each to be used for two days. Prior to…
