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…

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 clusters. The development of a sequential content structure was also based on these mathematics competencies. After completion of this program the…

Grade six and seven students at South Hill Elementary School were involved in the study to evaluate computer-assisted instruction (CAI) in arithmetic. The pupils were divided into three groups: the members of the "Computer Group" each received five minutes of CAI in arithmetic per day in addition to regular arithmetic classes, the…

A random sample of 214 fourth grade students randomly assigned to two treatments completed 15 programmed lessons on multiplication of whole numbers. The treatments differed in the physical referent used in the programmed lessons. One group used an array as the physical referent (Repeated-Addition). The other used a coordinate system and ordered…

THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY WAS TO EXAMINE THE RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF SEVEN PROBLEMS IN THE TEACHING OF ARITHMETIC. THE VALIDITY OF THE PROBLEMS WAS INVESTIGATED ON THE CRITERIA OF (1) DIFFERENTIATING ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHERS OF ARITHMETIC, GRADES 3-6, FROM COMPARABLY EDUCATED NONTEACHERS, (2) BEING SENSITIVE TO THE EFFECTS OF ELEMENTARY…

Teacher planning procedures employing percentage-based measurement summaries and subsequent implementation of the results of planning with and without error analysis resulted in moderate increases in correct mathematics computation of learning disabled 10-13 year olds. No significant differences were found for presence or absence of error…

The article offers practical games and "tricks" to help remediate deficits in arithmetic and mathematics at the elementary school level. Games include using the fingers to calculate, lattice multiplication, dividing paper into equal columns, square games, code cracking games, and fraction dominoes. (Author/DB)

Assessment of effects of school principal involvement on acquisition of multiplication facts by 309 intermediate grade students found that taking the timed test three times per week resulted in consistent sustained gains and that a math game with the principal contingent on improved class performance was the most effective principal-initiated…

This study of one part of the cognitive system of an illiterate Indian (his method of enumeration, computation, and evaluation) demonstrates the sophisticated conceptualization of which he is capable, independent of a writing system. (Author/CMG)
