The study involving 183 learning disabled and 852 nondisabled children (grades 3 through 6), investigated students' performance on arithmetic basic fact problems in addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Three separate group administered tests were devised, covering 98 basic addition, 98 subtraction, and 98 multiplication facts. Children were…

STANDARDS OR "CRITERIA FOR MEASURING THE QUALITY AND QUANTITY OF PRODUCTION" WHICH STUDENTS SHOULD ACHIEVE BEFORE ENTERING THE LABOR MARKET ARE SUGGESTED FOR TYPEWRITING, SHORTHAND, BOOKKEEPING, OFFICE MACHINES, AND ARITHMETIC. THESE CAN BE USED TO HELP DETERMINE GRADES FOR EACH MARKING PERIOD, TO SHOW STUDENTS WHAT WILL BE EXPECTED OF THEM IN A…

AN INTERIM UNIT HAS BEEN DEVELOPED TO ASSIST TEACHERS AND PUPILS IN MAKING THE TRANSITION TO A CONTEMPORARY MATHEMATICS PROGRAM. EXPERIENCE HAS SHOWN THAT ANY INTRODUCTORY WORK DURING THE YEAR PRECEDING THE INTRODUCTION OF A NEW PROGRAM HAS MADE THE FIRST YEAR CONSIDERABLY EASIER AND MORE PROFITABLE FOR BOTH TEACHERS AND PUPILS. EACH CONCEPT…

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF MATERIALS AND IDEAS ABOUT THE NEWER METHODS OF MATHEMATICS TEACHING BY A GROUP OF TEACHERS AND STUDENT-TEACHER LECTURERS. REPORTS FROM ACTUAL LESSONS AND VARIED ILLUSTRATIONS OF CHILDREN'S WORK MAKE UP A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF THIS BOOK. THE MATHEMATICS IS PRESENTED IN A STYLE AND MANNER WHICH ENCOURAGES THE READER TO…

A PROJECT TEAM, INCLUDING INSERVICE TEACHERS, IS BEING USED TO WRITE AND DEVELOP THE MATERIALS FOR THIS PROGRAM. THE MATERIALS DEVELOPED IN THIS BOOKLET INCLUDE (1) THE HISTORY AND MEANING OF LINEAR MEASURE, (2) FINDING THE…

The primary purpose of this investigation was to examine the effect of arithmetic homework upon the arithmetic achievement and attitude development of third grade pupils. The subjects for this study were 342 third grade students from Osseo, Minnesota, school areas. The Lorge-Thorndike Intelligence Test scores were used to stratify the classes into…

This booklet, one of a series has been developed for the project, A Program for Mathematically Underdeveloped Pupils. A project team, including inservice teachers, is being used to write and develop the materials for this program. The materials developed in this booklet include the idea of reciprocals, and counting fractional parts. Several…

This programed mathematics textbook is for student use in vocational education courses. It was developed as part of a programed series covering 21 mathematical competencies which were identified by university researchers through task analysis of several occupational clusters. The development of a sequential content structure was also based on…
