Quartararo, Joseph – Understanding Our Gifted, 2002
This article describes the activities of the Continental Mathematics League, which offers a series of meets for children in grades 3 though 9. In addition, a Calculus League and a Computer Contest are offered. The league allows schools to participate by mail so that rural schools can participate. (CR)

Peer reviewedKouba, Vicky L. – School Science and Mathematics, 1989
Explores whether the differences in use of terminology were related to respective fields or to idiosyncratic characteristics of experience and education. Reports differences among college teachers, high school teachers, and college students from a 16-item survey on algebraic and graphing terminology used in mathematics and science. (YP)

Peer reviewedLong, Vena M.; And Others – Mathematics Teacher, 1989
Discussed are experiences in using the calculator to assess mathematical understanding on the Missouri Mastery and Achievement Tests (MMAT). Data from a calculator group and a no-calculator group at the eighth- and tenth-grade levels are reported. Several items showed differences between groups. (YP)

Peer reviewedBenson, Jeri – Journal of Experimental Education, 1989
The basis of test anxiety expressed by 219 university students (43 percent males) in a statistics course was explored, and a structural model was developed. The data indicated that anxiety felt for the statistics test differed from general test anxiety. The variables revealed as important by the model are discussed. (SLD)

Peer reviewedSellers, Gene R. – AMATYC Review, 1989
Discusses a student project requiring a student to sample a population of interest to obtain a set of data, compute the necessary descriptive measures, and make a conclusion based on the data. Described are the introduction phase; formats; handout material; and suggested projects for individual and teams. (YP)

Greenberg, Eric Rolfe – Personnel (AMA), 1990
A survey of 1,021 human resource managers found that 35.5 percent test job applicants, promotion candidates, and/or current employees; 22 percent of applicants and 15 percent of employees tested deficient in basic skills; and only 5 respondents spent more than $10,000 on remedial training. (SK)

Peer reviewedHaas, Nancy M.; LoPresto, Sam – Educational Leadership, 1994
A Holt, Michigan, high school's recent shift toward conceptual understanding and demonstrated performance inspired one math teacher to develop a panel performance-assessment process. For their midsemester and semester exams, students in algebra II and precalculus discuss before a panel of judges the solutions to complex problems. Panel assessment…

Kaur, Berinderjeet; Sharon, Boey Huey Peng – Focus on Learning Problems in Mathematics, 1994
An algebra test administered to (n=18) first-year college students found a disregard for negative numbers, ineffective use of counterexamples, misapplication of rules, and a lack of a good grasp of relevant mathematical terminology. (12 references) (MKR)

Peer reviewedByrnes, James P.; Takahira, Sayuri – Developmental Psychology, 1993
A total of 108 eleventh and twelfth graders were given a strategy questionnaire and sample Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) math items in an attempt to explain gender differences on this test. Results showed that, although male students performed better on the SAT math items, prior knowledge and strategies explained nearly 50% of the variance. (MDM)

Peer reviewedQuesada, Antonio R.; Maxwell, Mary E. – Educational Studies in Mathematics, 1994
Compared the performance of (n=710) college students taught precalculus using a graphing calculator approach to the performance of students using the traditional approach. Students in the first group scored significantly higher than the others on a comprehensive final exam. (16 references) (Author/MKR)

Peer reviewedSeltzer, Michael H. – Evaluation Review, 1994
Ways in which multilevel modeling techniques can broaden the kinds of questions asked in multisite evaluations are illustrated through the example of the Transition Mathematics Program for secondary schools. These techniques provide a means of moving beyond estimating effects to investigating how differences across sites relate to differences in…
