This document is one of six which set forth the mathematics components of the Project SEARCH Articulated Curriculum developed by the Utica (New York) City School District. Each volume deals with a broad area of mathematics and lists objectives related to that area for all grades from K through 12. Each objective listed is described first in…

A part of a methods program consisting of lectures, demonstrations, laboratories, and practical applications, preservice mathematics teachers examined the role of activity methods, including use of computers, in secondary-school mathematics instruction. They were then expected to apply this knowledge as student teachers. Data collected to evaluate…

In this collection of position papers and descriptive materials, staff members and consultants of the Comprehensive School Mathematics Program (CSMP) outline the philosophy and goals of this curriculum development project. Rejecting the notion that mathematics should be taught as a collection of facts to be mastered, these writers claim the goal…

Reported are international and American curricular development projects in science and mathematics. Each report contains information under the following headings: Project Title; Project Headquarters; Principal Professional Staff; Project Support; Project History; Present Commercial Affiliations; Project Objectives; Methods of Instruction Used in…

This is the first in the fourth series of general bibliographies developed to disseminate information on documents analyzed at the ERIC Information Analysis Center for Science and Mathematics Education. Reported are 428 citations of selected documents related to instructional procedures in science and mathematics education. The documents include…

Determined were the educational and professional backgrounds, and some aspects of the operational environment of teachers of secondary school science and mathematics (Grades 7-12) in the public and private schools of the United States during the school year 1960-61. A stratified random sampling method was used to ensure proportional representation…

The first dozen years of the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Summer Institutes Program, 1954-65 are reviewed. The full report entitled "An Investment in Knowledge" is scheduled for publication in 1969. The forerunner of NSF Summer Institutes was held during July and August of 1954 at the University of Washington. Fifty-three high…

This issue of the Journal contains twenty abstracts of published research reports and a listing of doctoral theses and projects summarized in Dissertation Abstracts. Research reported includes studies related to elementary school mathematics, secondary school mathematics, and college mathematics. For each investigation reported, the following…

The primary aim of this guide is to aid teachers in planning and preparing a senior high school mathematics course for students preparing for college work. It is divided into separate one-semester courses of seven chapters each. The first-semester course consists of a traditional approach to the introduction of trigonometry and trigonometric…

Designed for the students who have taken algebra and geometry and who need to strengthen their skills in problem solving and mathematical applications, this guidebook on minimum course content emphasizes the kinds of skills and procedures used in college placement tests. Overall course goals are specified, a course outline is provided, performance…

This is a catalog of performance objectives and criterion measures covering algebra I, algebra II, geometry, and trigonometry for students planning to take technical mathematics at a junior college. Broad objectives, specific objectives, and criterion referenced test items are presented by skill and knowledge areas within each of the four courses…

A set of nine teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) in geometry, these units cover the topics of proof; geometric inequalities; perpendicular lines and planes in space; parallel lines in a plane, and parallel lines and planes; polygonal regions and areas; similarity; plane coordinate geometry; circles and spheres; and characterization…

This is a series of 12 teacher-prepared Learning Activity Packages (LAPs) for General Mathematics 1. Topics covered include using mathematical tools; counting and computing; measurement: whole and fractional numbers; measurement: decimal notation; percent; tables and graphs; introductory algebra; equations and applications; integers; and…

There are a number of recurring topics in the articles that comprise this yearbook, such as the nature of both informal and demonstrative geometry, the reasons for teaching both, and the extent of such courses. Other emphasized topics are use of the analytic method, whether to combine plane and solid geometry, the place of algebra and trigonometry…

The effect of ninth-grade general mathematics students signing contracts for achievement grades on their mathematics achievement and on their attitudes toward mathematics was investigated. Four classes were used in the study; each of two teachers taught one experimental and one control class. The Test of Mathematical Skills and Concepts and The…
