Chapters 4-5 of the special materials written for low achieving students in grades 7-8 by SMSG deal with number theory and the properties of the integers. Included for each chapter are pretest exercises, a self-test, instructional lessons and exercises, and a chapter test. (CT)

This teacher's guide is written to be used in conjunction with the new materials for low achieving students in grades 7 and 8 by SMSG. It includes helpful hints about working with low achievers and suggestions regarding the implementation of this particular program. Most chapter discussions include behavioral objectives for the chapter, background…

This text is one of the sequence of textbooks produced for low achievers in the seventh and eighth grades by the School Mathematics Study Group (SMSG). There are eight texts in the sequence, of which this is the last. This set of volumes differs from the regular editions of SMSG junior high school texts in that very little reading is required.…

Chapters 1-3 of the special materials written for low achieving students in grades 7-8 by SMSG include flow charting, elementary coordinate geometry, and functions. Included for student use are many tables which are to be used to shorten computational processes. Each chapter also includes pretest exercises, instructional lessons and exercises, and…

Chapters 8-9 of the special materials written for low achieving students in grades 7-8 by SMSG deal with linear equations and geometric congruences. Included for each chapter are pretest exercises, a self-test, instructional lessons and exercises, and a chapter test. (CT)

This report presents the initial findings of a study of low achievers in junior high school mathematics. The regular syllabus for seventh grade mathematics in the school dictated the mathematical topics to be attempted, and a series of units was developed and tried out during the year. Underlying the instruction was the primary objective that the…

Chapters 7-8 of the special materials for low achieving students in grades 7-8 by SMSG deal with properties of the rational numbers and elementary probability. Included for each chapter are pretest exercises, a self-test, instructional lessons and exercises, and a chapter test. (CT)

This report contains the findings of a two-year experiment with junior high school low achievers in mathematics. The main purpose of the experiment was to develop a program which would relieve low achieving junior high school students from the burdens of computation as much as possible. The experiment was also designed to determine what effect…
