The purpose of this project was to develop and test a series of programed mathematics textbooks for students who plan to enter clerical, retailing, construction, electronics, food service, child care, or agricultural occupations. Behavioral objectives were derived from an earlier analysis of tasks in these occupational clusters. From these, three…

This programed mathematics textbook (Volume I) is for student use in vocational education courses. It was developed as part of a programed series covering 21 mathematical competencies which were identified by university researchers through task analysis of several occupational clusters. The development of a sequential content structure was also…

This study was designed to investigate the effect of allowing students to generate their own problems and make their own decisions concerning their rate of progress through the instructional materials. An IBM 1500-1130 instructional system was used for the study. A program was developed to provide 72 different prototype arithmetic practice…

One model of educational needs assessment stresses: (1) deciding what students should learn in school, (2) measuring whether they learn it, and (3) looking at gaps between desired learnings and actual learnings to identify educational needs and priorities. In this study, it was assumed that practically all students should master…

Viewing the number system as a complex of interrelated words, three studies are described: (1) a study of the difficulty of simple addition and subtraction in different decimal positions; (2) a study of variations in the number of digits in the addend or minuend; (3) a study of the effect of irregular morphemes occurring in some number words.…

A copy of the "Survey Test in Arithmetic--Grade 3," used in the Vancouver schools, is provided. Part 1, Number Work, contains 48 items to be completed in 30 minutes; and Part 2, Problems, contains 6 items to be completed in 20 minutes. (For related document, see TM 002 476.) (DB)

Two sequences of activities were developed to provide instruction on the algorithms for addition and subtraction of two-digit numbers. In the integrated sequence (I) the mechanics of "carrying" and "borrowing" were treated as a single process "regrouping." In the sequential treatment (S) the addition algorithm was developed before the subtraction…
