The sixteen chapters of this book provide the core material for the Elements of Mathematics Program, a secondary sequence developed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities. The sequence is based on a functional-relational approach to mathematics teaching, and emphasizes teaching by analysis of real-life situations. This text is…

One of 12 books developed for use with the core material (Book O) of the Elements of Mathematics Program, this text covers material well beyond the scope of the usual secondary mathematics sequences. These materials are designed for highly motivated students with strong verbal abilities; mathematical theories and ideas are developed through…

This volume, a part of the Elements of Mathematics Program (EM), provides the student with an experience in developing a mathematical model for a "real-life" situation. After discussing the process of mathematization by reference to geometry, and presenting a flow-chart diagram describing the relationship of mathematical models to real…

This volume, a reprinting of a classic first published in 1952, presents detailed discussions of 26 curves or families of curves, and 17 analytic systems of curves. For each curve the author provides a historical note, a sketch or sketches, a description of the curve, a discussion of pertinent facts, and a bibliography. Depending upon the curve,…

This text is the fourth of five in the Secondary School Advanced Mathematics (SSAM) series which was designed to meet the needs of students who have completed the Secondary School Mathematics (SSM) program, and wish to continue their study of mathematics. This text begins with a brief discussion of quadratic equations which motivates the…

This is the first of a series of reports on the National Longitudinal Study of Mathematics Abilities. This report contains most of the test batteries which were administered to students who were fourth graders at the start of the study in 1962. These students comprised the X-Population. Except where commercially available tests were used, the…

This volume contains descriptions and statistical properties of test scales used with grade four through grade eight students in the National Longitudinal Study of Mathematical Abilities (NLSMA). Each scale is designed to measure a specified content or psychological area chosen as a dependent variable for the study. The scales are briefly…

This is the final report of a project developed to plan a program that can be used as a basis for the teaching of tenth grade general mathematics. A set of ten units that provide most of a year's work in tenth grade general mathematics was designed. A brief description of the topics included in each of these units is given. Also described are the…

This report contains the findings of a two-year experiment with junior high school low achievers in mathematics. The main purpose of the experiment was to develop a program which would relieve low achieving junior high school students from the burdens of computation as much as possible. The experiment was also designed to determine what effect…

This newsletter describes various programs developed by SMSG with particular emphasis on mathematics instruction for disadvantaged children. In particular, "Mathematics for the Elementary School - Special Editions" and "Secondary School Mathematics - Special Editions," are described including their inception, writing, testing,…
