This book reports the proceedings of a colloquium of European mathematics educators organized by UNESCO in 1968. Papers and discussion center on four main considerations: (1) Mathematics in contemporary society, including recent advances in mathematics, penetration of mathematics into other domains, the influence of computers, and the objectives…

A set of three teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) in geometry, the units cover the topics of distance, lines, planes, separation; angles and triangles; and congruences. The units each include a rationale for the material, a list of behavioral objectives, a list of resources including texts (with reading assignments and problem sets…

This material is an instructional unit on measuring and estimating. A variety of activities are used with manipulative devices, worksheets, and discussion questions included. Major topics are estimating lengths, accuracy of measurement, metric system, scale drawings, and conversion between different units. A teacher's guide is also available.…

This instructional unit focuses on writing ratios and proportions in problem situations, solutions by means of proportions, and determination of percentages. A number of experiments are suggested and worksheets and discussion questions are included. The activities are oriented toward situations in which the students would probably have had some…

This handbook was prepared to accompany a series of programed study guides for first-year algebra. It presents the rationale and development of the program; gives an itemized summary of the strategies and logistics involved in installing and operating the program as an individualized, self-paced, computer-managed course of instruction; and…

This handbook was designed to serve as a reference for teacher workshops that: (1) introduce the metric system and help teachers gain confidence with metric measurement, and (2) develop classroom measurement activities. One chapter presents the history and basic features of SI metrics. A second chapter presents a model for the measurement program.…

This booklist was designed as a guide for selecting materials for inclusion in a secondary school mathematics library and for identifying new books and periodicals of professional interest to teachers of mathematics. Approximately 925 listings are included, some with annotations; about one-fourth of these are starred to indicate the author's…

This curriculum guide covers Course I of a three-year sequence for high school mathematics in New York which was intended to provide an alternative to the regular Regents sequence of ninth-, tenth-, and eleventh-grade mathematics. A listing of scope and content for Course I is provided, along with a suggested time allotment. Four mathematics units…

This conference report consists of the four opening addresses at the SMSG's "Conference on Responsibilities for School Mathematics in the 1970's," seven summary reports, and a proposal for a new organization for mathematics education.
