One method is described for supplementing the assignment of theorems to be proved, involving student grading of purported theorems with alleged proofs for correctness and clarity. (MN)

This module was prepared to "metricate" approximately 3800 teachers in Western Kentucky. A brief history of measurement systems is followed by sections concerning length, mass (weight), temperature, and area and volume measurement. Each section contains a list of the common metric units used and their relationship as well as activities…

The authors propose that electronic calculators can be perceived as function generators rather than mere computational aids and can be used to investigate function concepts such as domain, range, composition, inverse, correspondence and so on. (MN)

A classroom exercise which encourages experimentation including formulation and testing of conjectures about number relationships involving factors and multiples is illustrated. (MN)

The purpose of this publication is to give an overview of some specific schemes that have been used successfully by teachers throughout New York State to strengthen mathematics skills. The various components of this publication offer ideas that have been successful with primary, intermediate, and secondary students. Ideas included: (1) how to make…

Support of the need for more emphasis on mental arithmetic in the classroom is given. Classroom methods and activities for developing skill in mental arithmetic are included. (MN)

Fifty detailed examples illustrating the uses of a wide range of supplementary printed materials are presented. Each example specifies the material, the function, the technique, and the recommended grade levels. (LS)

Compiling resource units is suggested as a means of involving prospective high school mathematics teachers in the various activities associated with mathematics teaching. A resource unit is a collection of elements used in teaching a particular topic and includes: outlines, objectives, activities, strategies, audio-visual aids, test items, and…

Reviewed are the basic principles of cooperative learning including a rationale for its use and the formation of cooperative learning groups in the classroom. Examples of the application of this teaching method to mathematics teaching are discussed. (CW)

This curriculum guide covers Course II of a three-year sequence for high school mathematics in New York which was intended to provide an alternative to the regular Regents' sequence of ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade mathematics. A listing of scope and content is provided along with suggested time allotments. Topics covered are: Logic,…

This guide was prepared as an instructional aid for teachers of a second-year course in algebra. It was designed to be applicable to a wide range of Algebra II programs offered in senior high schools. The content of the Algebra II program has been divided into 13 major units and a preliminary unit designed to review selected Algebra I skills. Each…

Provides a brief explanation why instruction designed for use with the microcomputer can enhance students' understanding of the concept of function. Presents five lessons designed to help students develop a thorough understanding of functions and their uses, to encourage students to explore and verbalize mathematical ideas, and to assist in the…

The purpose of this revised syllabus/guide is to help teachers and administrators plan and implement Course II in the the State Three-Year Sequence for High School Mathematics for Regents credit. Course II builds upon the state mathematics curriculum outlined in the department's mathematics K-6, Grade 7, Grade 8, and Course I publications.…

The purpose of this revised syllabus/guide is to help teachers and administrators plan and implement Course I in the State of New York Three-Year Sequence for High School Mathematics for Regents credit.
