This document discusses the role and the scope of evaluation in the mathematics classroom. The scope of mathematics objectives to be evaluated, the scope of evaluation purposes in the mathematics classroom, and the scope of evaluation procedures are noted. Specific comments are made on various procedures: observations, interviews, inventories and…

This is the second of a two quin series which introduces the student to all the theorems usually included in high school geometry; emphasis is on understanding and use of these theorems without proof. The course develops definitions and properties of the plane and solid figures and formulates methods for finding their linear measure, lateral and…

An evaluation of an individualized program for ninth-grade algebra and basic mathematics students is presented. Objectives of this program were to increase achievement and to create a positive attitude toward mathematics. Materials written for the program were used with audiovisual lessons recorded on tape cassettes. When the achievement gains of…

This booklet of exercises and activities to help students learn the fundamentals of the metric system is designed for elementary, junior high school and senior high school students. It is organized under four topics (Length, Weight, Volume, and Putting it All Together Activities) and comes packaged with an ungraded thermometer, metric rulers, and…

This is one of a series of reports on the National Longitudinal Study of Mathematical Abilities (NLSMA). Further, it is of the subseries that analyzed data for the purpose of identifying differential patterns of mathematics achievement which are correlated with different textbook series. This particular report considers comparisons made for the…

This is one of a series of reports on the National Longitudinal Study of Mathematical Abilities (NLSMA). This report concentrates on the analysis of the relationship between teacher characteristics and student achievement in the first year of the X-, Y-, and Z-Populations (students in grades 4, 7, 10) and in the second year of the X- and…

Each of the ten chapters in this volume is intended to present an objective analysis of the trends of some important subtopic in mathematics education and each includes a bibliography for fuller study. The chapters cover primary school mathematics, algebra, geometry, probability and statistics, analysis, logic, applications of mathematics, methods…

Several plotter programs written by 11th and 12th grade mathematics students are presented, along with two examples illustrating how a student can contribute to non-computer courses using knowledge gained from Project Solo. A curriculum module called "Enumeration" is presented which illustrates a computer-oriented approach to a typical…

This volume consists of 29 papers and articles from leading mathematics-teaching journals in many countries. Discussed is new content and curricula and unusual approaches and techniques in the teaching of mathematics at the elementary and secondary levels. Some topics discussed are theories of mathematics instruction, new mathematical experiences…

This booklet is one of the ten in the series "Experiences in Mathematical Discovery", produced by the General Mathematics Writing Project of the NCTM. Each is designed for use by students of ninth-grade general mathematics. The discussion and problems are designed to guide the student through an understanding of: 1) fractions, 2) equivalent…

Demonstration programs, possible assignments for students (with solutions), and remedial drill programs for students to use are presented to aid teachers using a computer or a computer terminal in the teaching of algebra. The text can be followed page by page or used as a well-indexed reference work, and specific suggestions are made on how and…
