The current curriculum modules under development at Project Solo are listed. The modules are grouped under the subject matter that they are designed to teach--algebra II, biology, calculus, chemistry, computer science, 12th grade math, physics, social science. Special programs written for use on the Hewlett-Packard Plotter are listed that may be…

This Working Paper is one of a series of studies commissioned by the Schools Council to establish whether development work could be organized to help teachers design relevant and useful five year courses for pupils who leave school at age 16, when this becomes the legal age limit in Great Britain in 1971. The ability range considered is that of…

Presented are abstracts of research papers presented at the Research Reporting Sections of the 49th Annual Meeting of the National Council of Teachers of Mathematics. Topics investigated in these research papers include: effects of reward upon children's responses, analysis of Piagetian area concepts, effects of laboratory materials, strategies in…

This document is a guide to the advanced placement program in calculus for grade 12 in the city schools in Warren, Ohio. The program covers analytic geometry, differential and integral calculus of algebraic functions, elementary transcendental functions, and applications of differentiation and integration. The philosophy and aims of the program…

The text is a report of the OEEC Seminar on "The Mathematical Knowledge Required by the Physicist and Engineer" held in Paris, 1961. There are twelve major papers presented: (1) An American Parallel (describes the work of the Panel on Physical Sciences and Engineering of the Committee on the Undergraduate Program in Mathematics of the Mathematical…

Suspecting that computer-assisted mathematics instruction helps students attain a higher level of achievement than normal instruction, the author conducted an experiment in two algebra-trigonometry classes. Fifty-one "middle ability" students were divided into two groups. The computer group used the computer both as a computational and teaching…

The purpose was to suggest improvements in the effectiveness of a unit on number theory designed to promote greater achievement and more positive attitudes toward mathematics for low achieving ninth grade students. Six classes were used. Three additive treatments were used with the materials: mastery learning; mastery learning and flow charting;…

The teacher's guide for the remedial text-workbook "Understanding Math" discusses instruction of the deaf student. An answer key for workbooks 1 and 2, a section with masters for transparencies to be used for games and activities and for teaching fractions, and two patterns for making geometric solids are included in the guide. For workbooks 1 and…

As a means of implementing court desegregation orders, students were bused within two clusters of four schools each. The achievement of advanced mathematics and science students within the clusters was compared to those not in a cluster school. Pretest and posttest scores on the Advanced Metropolitan High School Mathematics and Science Tests were…

This annotated bibliography suggests a selection of books that provide sources of information and recreational reading. It is divided into sections for primary, intermediate, and junior high school levels. Most of the books suggested for primary children are those from the general literature that give special attention to mathematical ideas; books…

The scope of this booklist includes books for students of average ability, for the mathematically talented, for the professional interests of mathematics teachers, and for those concerned with general mathematics at the junior college level. About 950 titles are listed, many with brief annotations. Starring of 200 titles indicates a priority…

This study identified and defined 30 structural variables related to problem solving. Four dependent variables (only one, percent correct, is analyzed in this report) were derived from data retained by the computer from 172 arithmetic word problems presented to and solved by junior college students on IBM 2741 computer terminals. The structural…

The major part of this book consists of 36 activities for secondary school mathematics laboratories. Each activity is presented in the form of a carefully-worded direction sheet which may be copied for individual use by the students. Activities are grouped in five categories: (1) Pre-Algebra, (2) Algebra, (3) Geometry, (4) Topology, and (5)…

Outlined are the minimum requirements for a quinmester course of introduction to high school geometry. After a description of the course content and overall goals, further details are presented in nine sections. Each section gives performance objectives, textbook references, content (including lists of vocabulary and associated properties), and…

Directions are given for folding paper to show geometric figures and relationships. Topics covered are folding the basic constructions, geometric concepts concerning triangles and quadrilaterals, circle relationships, products and factors, polygon constructions, symmetry, conic sections, and recreations.
