This bulletin suggests teaching procedures for a tenth-grade geometry course. An introduction states general objectives and discusses the nature of inductive and deductive thinking. Lesson outlines follow which give a statement of objectives and a plan for development. Major lesson groupings are congruent triangles, parallel lines, quadrilaterals,…

Ten highly motivated and above-average intermediate algebra students were selected to complete a ten-week schedule of activities involving the mathematizing of some physical representation of a phenomena and the studying of that model. Ten activity-based exercises, most adapted from LABORATORY MANUAL FOR ELEMENTARY MATHEMATICS by Fitzgerald, et…

This teacher guide is part of the materials prepared for an individualized program for ninth-grade algebra and basic mathematics students. Materials written for the program are to be used with audiovisual lessons recorded on tape cassettes. For an evaluation of the program, see ED 086 545. In this guide, the teacher is provided with objectives for…

The purpose of the study was to demonstrate that by altering or modifying homework assignments for slow-track high school geometry students, various intellective and emotive variables could be improved without any significant decrease in achievement. Two intact Geometry B classes were randomly assigned to a no-homework treatment where all problems…

This is the third in a series of four guidebooks on minimum course content designed to develop geometric concepts intuitively, using the "slides, flips, and turns" approach developed by the University of Illinois, Committee on School Mathematics. Topics include the development of the concept of symmetry, triangles and quadrilateral…

The purpose was to develop a text in the topology of the plane for secondary school mathematics teachers and to evaluate the text in a regular course setting in terms of its effectiveness and appropriateness. The materials cover the concepts of metrics; neighborhoods; equivalent metrics; interior, boundary, and accumulation points; closure; open…

This teacher's manual accompanying the ninth-grade general mathematics workbook, Drop-In Mathematics, states objectives for each of the topics covered, suggests teaching methods, lists resource materials, and provides an answer key for problems in the text. Enrichment activities are included in the appendix. For student materials, see SE 016 406.…

An optional guidebook designed to follow the study of Mathematical Structures, this booklet specifies minimum course content for introductory geometric constructions and concepts. It includes the use of geometry tools, and covers basic geometric figures and congruence, angles, perpendiculars and parallels, triangles, perimeter and circumference,…

This guidebook on minimum course content for a study of statistical measures is designed to develop students' appreciation of the role of statistics in everday living. The primary emphasis is on activities centered on the collection and organization of data from daily happenings. Overall course goals are specified, a course outline and suggested…

This the fourth in a series of four guidebooks on minimum course content designed to develop geometric concepts intuitively, using the "slide, flips, and turns" approach developed by the University of Illinois Committee on School Mathematics. Topics covered are: area; ratio; similarity; construction using ruler, compass, and protractor;…

Part of a series of four pamphlets providing real-life problems in probability and statistics for the secondary school level, this booklet shows how to organize data in tables and graphs in order to get and to exhibit messages. Elementary probability concepts are also introduced. Fourteen different problem situations arising from biology,…

Part I of the teachers' commentary for "Exploring Data" includes a brief description of demands on the reader in terms of reading vocabulary and mathematical skills and comprehension, lists the substantive areas covered by the examples, suggests ways in which the pamphlet might be used in the classroom, and discusses background information for the…

Part I of the teachers' guide for "Weighing Chances" briefly describes the mathematical background necessary for the student, lists the substantive areas touched upon by the problems in the pamphlet, suggests classroom uses for the booklet, and gives background information on the individual chapters. Part II provides complete solutions for the…

This is the second unit in a series of 14 SMSG texts designed to cover mathematical concepts which the general population should know. One chapter of the unit discusses algorithms, flow charts, and computers; the second chapter tackles problem formulation procedures (not actual problem solving) and briefly covers mathematical models. For a special…
